It is long street with lots of shops of clothes. Perfumes, antique etc. I visited in march in kochi having too hot weather at 11 am so couldn’t visit shops properly so I recommend you to visit in evening only. Prices of items are higher compared to market.

A beautiful Jewish town. Originally only 2 jewish ✡️️people currently live in this town that we have heard from our tour guide.
The town is very beautiful, very clean, and very lively place. There are many shops selling sculptures, clothes, show pieces, souvenirs etc.
Each has unique different types of items, quality and uniqueness. We have also visited Jewish worship place Paradesi synagogue in this town. That was also a good place.

The narrow, cobblestone streets, lined with antique shops and vibrant boutiques, were a treasure trove of unique finds. The iconic Paradesi Synagogue, with its stunning architecture and rich history, left us in awe. We spent hours browsing through rare artifacts, handcrafted jewelry, and vintage textiles, each piece telling its own story.

A walk down the lane of art, history, antiques and Jewish culture. The street is sprinkled with gorgeous art gallery turned cafes. It is a collector’s dream come true. The pebble stone pathway, the vintage art and the heritage buildings invite you, stimulate you and let you explore, unwind and relax.
The standout places are the synagogue, the Mocha Art Cafe, the classic art cafe, a majestic boat at the Ginger Museum Hotel and the tiny shops selling trinkets, souvenirs and all things art and culture.

It is an area that retains a colonial feel. It feels like a jew town, with souvenir shops on both sides of the narrow road. Many souvenir shops sell the same thing, so it is recommended to go around and buy it at a store you like.

Jew Street in Kochi, nestled in the historic Mattancherry area, is a captivating blend of history and culture. Renowned for its antique shops, vibrant spice markets, and the iconic Paradesi Synagogue, it offers a unique glimpse into Kochi's Jewish heritage. The narrow lane exudes charm, with colonial-era buildings, aromatic spices, and fascinating artifacts. Friendly vendors and quaint cafes add to its allure, making it an engaging experience for travelers. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply exploring, Jew Street enchants with its timeless character and rich stories. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone delving into Kochi’s cultural treasures.

Quaint place. If you want to browse the shops keep a couple of hours handy. Worth a visit.The highlight ,of course, is the synagogue tucked at the end of the street.What a way to celebrate diversity

A short walk in the Jewish town in kochi is sure to take one down the memory lane and transport one into into a different era. Lined throughout with shops cum museums selling all sorts of unique antiques and trinkets which may be a collector's paradise, the place is very popular with tourists visiting the city. Cafes cum museums cum art shops dotting the place every now and then make this place all the more interesting and the overall feel of the place is definitely something not to be missed. A must visit.

I loved visiting these quaint streets of the Jewish Town and the Jewish Synagogue. Jewish Synagogue tells the history of Jewish people in Kochi, Kerala and it was quite fascinating to learn about that. No photography or videography is allowed inside the Synagogue.

We spent a few hours on the area firstly visiting the Synagogue and the interesting story of its history in the room adjacent to the ticket table (nice, this time there was no Locals versus Foreigners ticket cost discrepancy, and it was 10 IRP). Then we browsed the many shops selling art, spices, textiles etc. Had a couple of cold drinks at nice cafes. Lovely old buildings. Very pleasant.
