Cochin (Kochi) travel guide

Known as the "Queen of the Arabian Sea," Cochin was first put on the map by the spice trade; European, Arab and Chinese merchants have been flocking here since the 14th century. Today, multicultural influences can still be felt in this popular port town. Cochin is actually divided into three sections: Fort Cochin - the elegant grand dame that draws the most tourists - Mattancherry, and Ernakulam. Most public transport stops in Ernakulam, but head straight for Fort Cochin. With Portuguese churches, old Jewish neighborhoods, and Chinese fishing nets, it's a heady, unforgettable place that will make you wonder if you're still in India.
