Top of the itinerary should be the Sree Anantha Padmanabha Temple, around which the city was built. The temple is stunning and expansive, with a 500-pillared corridor and a labyrinth of rooms, courtyards and gardens. It is famous for its sculptures and large collection of temple mural paintings. In the grounds is a beautifully tranquil pond called Padmatheertham, and the garden is lined with palm trees.

The Napier Museum is the museum of choice to find out more about the history and culture of the region, while directly opposite is the Keralan Museum – an interactive experience that presents a history of Kerala through the ages. And for something a little more unusual seek out the Indian Coffee House at Thampanoor, a distinctive spiral-shaped brick structure designed by famous architect Laurie Baker and adjacent to the central bus station and the Central Railway Station.
