    If you want to squeeze in the zoo, aim to finish the Napier Museum by around 11 a.m. The zoo closes at noon, so you’ll get a quick walk through before heading to the temple. A short 15 minute walk from the zoo takes you straight to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, so you’ll avoid the midday rush. If you’re staying nearby, the Vivanta Thiruvananthapuram keeps all three sites within a half kilometre walk.
