Hill Palace Museum is the former Kochi royal palace, now a large archaeological and history museum in Thrippunithura. Its galleries hold paintings, inscriptions, royal objects, and palace collections from the Cochin and Travancore royal families.
The palace complex is spread across several buildings and gardens, with a deer park and mature trees adding to the visit. It takes more time than many Kochi sights, but the royal collections and grounds make it one of the city's strongest museum stops.
