5 Specialty Museums in Kochi (Cochin) That You Shouldn't Miss

July 2, 2021 Nicolette Lion

A blending of several small villages on the southwestern coast created the current incarnation of Kochi (or Cochin), where sunset strolls, sampling fresh fish from seaside vendors and boat rides through the islands just offshore top visitors' to-do lists. Art centers showcase the traditional dance, Kathakali. European influences are seen in the 16th-century Portuguese-built churches and forts, while the mark of early Chinese traders is visible in the unusual fishing nets dotting the shoreline.

Indo-Portuguese Museum

Reviewed By HyMaria - Stockholm, Sweden

A rather small but interesting museum showing objects from the time when the Portuguese exercised a great influence in Fort Kochi. The textual information is very limited. But on the other hand, there are very helpful guides who take care of you and your questions. Without the guides, the visit to the museum had not been so valuable.
