There are plenty of buses linking the towns along the coastal road. They leave from the bus station in the centre of Galle, opposite the cricket stadium. Major destinations include Colombo (regular/air-con Rs 100/200, three hours), Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, and Matara (Rs 28, one hour).
There are express passenger trains toColombo’s Maradana station (2nd/3rd class, three hours) from the town’s vaguely art deco train station. Local trains serve Hikkaduwa (2nd/3rd class, 30 minutes) and Matara (2nd/3rd class, one to 1½ hours). There’s a daily express to Kandy and Aanuradhapra(2nd/3rd class 6½ and 8 hours respectively).
A three-wheeler between Galle and anywhere existed can be used to visit specially around the Fort area and other places. Although you won’t need one for the Fort, a three-wheeler eases covering distances in the heat of the day, and makes it simple to navigate the town and nearby sights. At your accommodation arrange for one with an English-speaking driver or find your own (well, they’ll find you).
The foot bicycle or a motor bite can be used for visiting most of the area in the tourist important place in the district.
