End your evening by walking to the edge of Willingdon Island. This large man-made island houses the Kochi Port and the Indian Southern Naval Command Headquarters. It is a striking sight as the lights begin to turn on.
Local tip
The museum is open in the evening, but check the route for the museum if you need specific entry details. Kayees Biryani is open late, so timing your meal before sunset is easy.
