Fort Kochi (Fort Cochin) in Kochi — view 2
Fort Kochi is a historic town that reflects its colonial past, with remnants from the Dutch, Portuguese, and British eras visible in its architecture. Visitors arrive to find a mix of narrow lanes and large homes, many now converted into boutique hotels, galleries, and cafes. Key sights include the iconic Chinese fishing nets, St. Francis Church, and the Dutch Cemetery. The area is well-suited for exploring on foot, especially in the cooler mornings or late afternoons. An international arts biennale takes place every two years, drawing attention to local and global artists. The nearby Jew Town in Mattancherry offers a vibrant contrast with its antique shops and the historic synagogue.
