As the commercial capital of Kerala, Cochin is the most cosmopolitan city in the state. The city boasts a fascinating blend of foreign cultures, as it was a favorite destination of the globetrotters and explorers, the Arabs the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British. Blessed by one of the best natural harbors in the world, Cochin has been eulogized as the “Queen of the Arabian Sea“.

Fort Cochin, overlooking the sea on the western shore of the city, had military fortifications to defend the mainland from attackers coming through the sea. Now, the townships are bustling with civil activity, after a quiet transition to the modern, peaceful times, though most of the historic landmarks are preserved for the enjoyment of the posterity. You are welcome to visit all those places of tourist importance.
