Cochin's Broadway Bazaar - A Walking Tour with Breakfast

Ernakulum’s Broadway area is the traditional center of business in Cochin. The area became prominent after the British took control of Cochin. Today, Broadway continues to be a busy wholesale and retail bazaar for various products and services. The Broadway area is also close to one of Cochin’s most popular promenades,  Marine Drive, a pedestrian zone with the backwaters on one and shops and cafes on the other side. This walking tour familiarizes you with these popular Cochin neighborhoods and also includes a short ferry ride across the harbor.
