    A good rule of thumb is to spend about two to three hours at the palace to walk through the gardens and see the Dutch colonial buildings up close. From there you can walk to Fort Kochi in roughly twenty minutes on foot, which gives you a quick stroll through the historic streets without a long detour. If you’re staying near the island, the Marine Inn Hotel is a convenient base for that walk.
