About
Old Harbour House is a building in the center of Fort Kochi, part of the city of Kochi in the district of Ernakulam in the state of Kerala (India). It was built during the Portuguese colonial period, almost completely rebuilt by the Dutch in the 17th century, and later modified by the British. In 2006, it was carefully restored by German architect Karl Damschen with many references to its colonial origins. Today the building contains the boutique hotel Old Harbour Hotel.

Travelling here safely
Generally safeIs Fort Kochi safe?
Fort Kochi is one of Kerala’s safest and most walkable tourist quarters, comfortable by day and on the main lanes after dark. Violent crime against visitors is rare — the realistic risks are auto/guide scams, petty theft in crowds, and the sea, not personal danger.
- Overall — One of Kerala’s safest tourist areas; tourist police nearby.
- Solo & women — Widely reported as comfortable; conservative, used to visitors.
- Scams to watch — Auto/taxi overcharging, “closed today” guide tricks, commission shops.
- Petty theft — Low, but mind bags at the nets, ferries and busy markets.
- The sea — Fort Kochi beach is for strolling — currents make swimming unsafe.
