A stunning promenade facing the pristine backwaters of Kochi, Marine Drive is one of the most popular tourist stopovers in the city. Stroll along the scenic trail and spot the Kochi Harbour in the distance and enjoy the picturesque views of the backwaters as the cool wind ruffles your hair. Tourists can also explore the area by boating or cruising in the tranquil waters. Many cruises organise dinner settings amidst city lights that are reflected in the lake. Tourists can also visit a Rainbow Bridge, an arch-shaped structure that is lit up during the night, giving a visual treat to visitors. This 3-km-long drive is lined with malls and eateries where tourists can buy unique handicrafts and sample authentic cuisine.
