Awesome place for visit even during night time the places were clean and neatDutch cemetery road is lovely ♥️

This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kochi. Evening is the best time to visit, but any time in the day is fine as there are a lot of tress for shade. You can see Chinese fishing nets and may get a chance to try pulling it. There are some restaurants in the area which cook freshly caught fish for you. Parking space is available. Cleanliness is average.

Excavetor works laith works mig welding.... Etc

An amazing waterfront promenade for walking, exercising, recreation, dates, weekends, and capturing splendid sunsets in the heart of Kochi City. Also located close to many other tourist attractions in Fort Kochi.

Vasco da Gama Square in Fort Kochi, near the sea shore, is an ideal place to spend the evenings. One can see stalls that sell nuts, tender coconut, spices, and other local delicacies. Fishermen lower the Chinese fishing nets into the sea and fresh catch is brought to the nearby fish market. Owned by the Municipal Corporation of Kochi, Vasco da Gama has an open stage for cultural performances.This place received its name three decades ago. This place is named after the legendary Portuguese sailor Vasco da Gama who was the first European to reach the Indian subcontinent by sea. The mission of his voyage was to search for the details of the spice market of and trade routes to the Malabar region on the Indian coast. His fleet of ships reached Kappad near Calicut in 1498. Gama’s discovery of the sea route to India was significant and opened the way for an age of global imperialism. Pedro Álvares Cabral, another Portuguese sailor, followed Gama, reaching Calicut and travelling from there to Kochi. A treaty was signed between the Portuguese and the King of Kochi which followed the construction of Fort Emmanuel in 1503 at Kochi, the first European fort in India. The city in the Portuguese fort area was called Santa Cruz, the first European city in India.

Cool and calm place... For long walks and peaceful atmosphere, this is the best place... In sync with the nature... There are lot of trees and hence walking is less tiring... Also, there is always a soothing breeze from the nearby beach area with a wonderful view of the Arabian Sea with Chinese net near the shore for catching fish... There is also a park for the kids near the beach... All the buildings are really attractive and the scenic beauty is so overwhelming that we feel like we are in a different place... People come here for photoshoots too... There are a number of hotels and café and that too add to the beauty of the place.... Also, there are many small vendors selling all kinds of things from cool drinks to dresses to shells and ornamental items along the beach side...

This is the busiest place of Fort Kochi considering both people and traffic. At present some construction work is going on near this place. This place is considered as the heart of Fort Kochi. Every tourist visiting Fort Kochi has to cross this place. This is most lively place of Fort Kochi considering the calm and Peaceful atmosphere found in inner lanes of Fort Kochi.

A good well maintained place for tourists and locals to have some calm time. A lot of eateries, gift items are available here. This place also have the unique Chinese fishing nets and one can get to buy fresh fish from here. For me, a time well spent.Paid parking is available at different locations for 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers.

Nice place 🤠 and climate ❤️ I like it🌝

A beautiful place at Fort Kochi. There many street vendors across the street. The place is well maintained.

Tourist attractive place where anyone can enjoy the view of beach, huge chinese fish catching nets, antique shops, historical constructions and a park. Adequate ime to visit there is in the morning and in the evening.

Walkways are closed due to covid19 and water metro station work in progress.

Open space by the backwaters and the Arabian sea. Cool to spend some leisurely time just strolling along this square. Development is ongoing.

Good place and good scenery but dirty. You can see waste everywhere. waste management is not so good in such a crowd place

It was good and enough to spend a day happily with friends.Food wasnt that much good and its expensive.

It was a really good walk along the square, having the ocean as the view till it end.

Very good place to visit:Dont take tourist boat service (Rs.200-300), take govt ferry service(Rs.4-5).Last return boat is around 8:30pm.One of the beach is full of oyster shells.Chinese fishing net are also adorable.One can buy fresh fishes and give to near by shop for cooking. You will get fantastic experience.(some places will allow alcohol drinking also).

Good place to sit over there in evening time .Good atmosphere and good place .

Not highlighted area, so it was little hard to find, but nice calm atmosphere, since its inside the church

Good place to visit in the evening and morning, the ambience is very good. You can see many street sellers and fish stalls on the way. Even though the sea has taken most of the walk way, its quite nice place. You can see many historic things on the way..

Excellent vibe😻😻

The place just vibrates positive energy. From historical buildings to a beachfront walkway and a kids park where one could sit and enjoy the bustle of the people, no one would regret spending some time here. Walk along the path around the beach and youll find historical memmorials and objects from the british raj like the anchor of Lord Willingdon which was used by Robert bristow to help transorfm kochi, Steam boilers of cranes and the pillar memorial of the Great fire of cochin erected in 1890!

Nice place . we can see big ships hereAnd traditional chinese netsMany shops are avilable for food and also for purchasing gift items we can enjoy with friends there are many photogenic places near to this area

So calm and peaceful.... as no tourists or local crowds... The best quite ambience in Fort Cochin after 25 years...!!

An ideal place to watch fishermen use Chinese fishing nets is the Vasco da Gama square, a narrow promenade along the beach. ....The square, which has numerous stalls serving fresh delicious seafood, tender coconut and so on..It is also perfect for a nice, relaxed evening.... Beautiful and peaceful environment.....Vasco Da Gama Square, it got its name only in 1985, has changed beyond recognition...... Earlier, it was a panoramic sea shore where six to seven Chinese nets operated quietly

Good place to spend evening time

Its just a square park nothing elseFish - 250/- per kilo.On Sundays there are less peoples and very less open shopsOne thing you can see heavy cruise and cargo ships.

Beautiful place ..you can just sit here and enjoy the beauty all day long

Huge fishing nets resting on wooden poles might have been more appealing when witnessed during a sunset.

Nice weather. Chinese fishing nets operation can be seen. Fresh 🐟 is available to buy. Handmade crafts are available like wood made boat, house boat, 🐘 etc..

A super cool place to hangout and enjoy the evenings

Beach view is awesome but not that awesome as years before, even though this is the best here.Tea & fried snacks are available from morning 6.00am.Seafood items are available.Hotels, stationary shops, private bus stand and transport busses are available.You could get the very fresh fishes in the morning from the Chinese nets and from the shops.Petrol bunk is available near.kerala Transport boat is available from here to ernakulam.

Goodness of naturePerfect ambience for refreshing the mind....Keeps you calm relaxed

Covid restrictions have made the area less welcoming. Police prohibitions are in effect. The area will see better times.

Its a nice palace for the tourists in the morning and evening. You can enjoy the beauty of the place in no moment. The beach is next to the street so nice wind flow.. And it will be awesome if you visit this place at the evening because at 5:00 pm all other visiting points will be closed so it will be the only point opened in that time and the sunset from here is awesome.

Attractive and crowdy always.. Can enjoy the adorable beauty of setting sun and reddish horizon... Good for evenings

After the renovations done by CSML this has become a very beautiful place indeed . If more affordable food shops are opened it will be more beneficial.

Very very interested in this place. Fishing net and who they work having fun to look them. Totally very good place. Must visit.

Here we saw Chinese nets where instructor told us we dont charge anything and we dont take tips.But, at the last when we were handing over nominal amount to that guy for what we enjoyed, then he asked for the extra money.Rest, this place has no as such really good ambiance.

Great place to catch a glimpse of both the sunset and the sunrise. You will find a couple of stores for street food that you can indulge in. Youll also find amazing street-art here.

The Vasco da Game square is home to the infamous Chinese net fishing methods. You can see numerous nets set up by different people. These methods are close to 350 years old and have been in office since then. You might even have the chance to fish your catch and they will fry it for you.

The Vasco da Gama Square is the best place to watch the sea and fishermen fishing using the Chinese fishing nets. We can sit by the side of the walkway if its not crowded and enjoy the beauty of the canal, occasional ships passing by, boats, Chinese fishing nets etc and just relax. Weekends and holidays when its not raining the place will be crowded with locals and foreign tourists and the number of food vendors will also be more. Food outlets giving fried fish and other items, ice cream & smoothies carts, snacks, tea & coffee etc are available there. There is space for kids activities too. Nice place to walk around enjoying the beauty of the sea and spend an evening with family.

In my view this is very nice spot for tourist as well as local people who are staying in Kochin for service. I spend weekend evening with my family. Sea fish available here but little costly.

Good place to have a stroll,can have wada pau,samosa,mirchi baji n tea...like.bombay..Fresh catch fish also u can see n buy

Nice place but right now its close coz of covid ....

Wow that is sooo super i love that what a place looking soo beautiful ❤ 😊 💕 ❤ 😍. You see thats. Plece market all so near that place

Must visit if in Kochi. You can experience the Chinese fish nets in action. Roadside vendors are helpful in finding new places. But beware of you want to purchase anything. Bargain as much as you can and they would be happy to offer you a good price.

Best time to visit is by evening. Fortunately the climate was good when we went by afternoon. Happened to buy fishes and prawns from here at affordable price and just within a km there is a food street where they would cook as per your instructions.

Fort Kochi is exactly as we have seen in movies. Full of foreigners and overrated eateries. Especially since its biennale season. Its not too shabby nor too impressive. Its well lit enough to walk around and the old buildings with its roots of architecture in Europe is worth a re visit.

A good place to sit for couple of hours nobody disturbs you. Can eat good fish in the evening in beach restaurants. More or less clean. At night you can see local fishermen caching fish with traditional fishing nets. Plenty of local foods. Nice slice of green mango and pineapple😀 .Be careful of the fisherman who calls you to help them pulling the ropes of fishing net and take photos. Specially foreigners maybe its a trap for earning money

One of the best place to visit in kochi.. But its crowded at times.. There are many entertainment.. Like live music.

This is the place you come to in order to see the tomb of Vasco Da Gama. The Portuguese captain and conquerer died on his third voyage and was initially entombed in the St Francis church located nearby. The atmosphere of peace is a little scary.

Very nice place for evening walk with familySome time cultural activities also held

Its one of the oldest Churches in INDIA with more of its history linked to great sailor Vasco da gama. Well wheather he actually discovered INDIA its a big debate I would be on another side, but he one of the great sailor of his times. Also its located just opposite to the port Koch. Walking in this road reminds more of historic places and events. Why 4 starts : because its not maintained up the mark. If your a Christian or like history its a must place to visit.I have posted some good pictures, taken with permission from the authority there. No harm in liking this post for the extra boost!!

Cochin port can be viewed from here.

Cultural and Heritage place in Fortkochi. The place should be visited once in lifetime by all.

Beautiful view at sunset. Saw Chinese fishing nets in action. Watch out for garbage on the beach.

Its a really lovely place. Do visit after 5.30 or 6 pm in the evening. The cool breeze from the Arabian sea will drift away all your weariness. Though its not a very big and extravagant place, it has chinese fishing nets along the boundaries and the vendors sell fresh fishes on the streets.

Very nice place. House boats and cruises are very much appreciated , nothing to say except wow......

Situated on the heart of kochi,can find traditional Chinese net fishing near by a good place for a walk and hangout

Not well maintainedCleanliness needs to improve

A walk by the fishing beach and seeing the Chinese nets(time Ur visit well) function was real exciting for us & kids.The glimpse is really sundry but has an element of excitement. Do spend some time and even choose a fish of Ur choice for quick realtime taste.

Incredible Place To Visit In KochiSmall Park with Peaceful Atmosphere

Good place to spend time with friends and loved ones. Food stall , childrens park , Chinese nets etc. Its amazing to see the ships going through the channel.

Very crowded, not maintained. The walking path is good... Beach is very dirty and littered.. nice to sit here and watch the ships enter and exit the port.

Fortkochi....The queen of arabian sea.

Calm place.

Fort Kochi (Portuguese: Cochim de Baixo Lower Kochi) is a region in the city of Kochi in the state of Kerala, India.[1] This is part of a handful of water-bound regions toward the south-west of the mainland Kochi, and collectively known as Old Kochi or West Kochi. Adjacent to this is Mattancherry. In 1967, these three municipalities, along with a few adjoining areas, were amalgamated to form the Corporation of Cochin.

Quiet good. Chinese fishing net and live fish sales

Its a whole different place,loved it

An attraction nevertheless. The beach is right there, but you can see its not really kept clean, but the fishing nets are really a wondeful sight. Theres a lot of vendors selling all kinds of stuff, and the beach is almost always crowded, except during the midday when the heat is at its peak. A good place to sit and spend the evening though, since theres benches all over the place.

A beachfront with red sunset, lighted ships and Chinese fish nets. Best place to spend with family.

Nice place for a walk beside the Arabian sea. Need cleanliness though.

Visited at night. Beautiful sea nad ship light view.

Super place for photography.... also peaceful place full of shades... there is a park we can rest there and also many shops are there .... we can also buy fishes there the market is just closed to the walk way...

Location good, but absolutely dirty. There was a live band and Chinese fishing nets were good watch. If ppl can just ensure that the beach is clean, That will be great

Nice

Popular place for tourists. Nice location and sea view.

Worth visiting the Bay area and Chinese fishing net around in Kochi. Place is surrounded by Portuguese architectural dwelling and scenic place to be at Sunrise & Sunset. Small joints to enjoy local cuisine as well international cousins by roadside. Place can be beautified and kept clean by the local civic authorities and visitors

Quite place in fort kochi. The vasco da Gama church was a new find for me and to know that ther Portuguese explorer was first buti d in this church.His mortal remains were later moved to Lisbon.The church is an old Portuguese church and now run by csi church. Lots of visitors each day

The most beautiful place with the best vibes. We never get enough of kochi. Every single time we go there, we find something new and amazing

Nice area for a walk in Cochin, unfortunately relatively dirty. Lots of people and vendors give it a lively atmosphere.

Nice place to sit and enjoy but if u need the beach bath visit cheari beach.

Beautiful place... Had a good leisure....

Nice place to visit. There are fish markets. We can find a variety of shops. We cab enjoy the sea by sitting in the shades of trees. Hotels are plenty in this place. It is a main tourist centre. Everyone will get attracted here.

Nice place to experience the mingling of backwater with sea..I m loving it

Really good good places for enjoy with frnds, nice photo points

An amazing place in the heart of Cochin City. Clean and neat, quite beautiful with a colonial touch.

In that place we spend some moments its my golden moment in my life

One of the Best and Famous place in kochi

The best place for an evening walk.

Good place to walk, bust its mostly crowded with tourists. The parking fees is a bit more than usual. But a good place to hang out
