Thiruvananthapuram, also called Trivandrum, is an ancient city whose name means 'the city of the sacred serpent'. The capital of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram is a beautiful seaside city built over seven hills.
Thiruvananthapuram and its beaches are a top tourist attraction and the well- connected transportation system is very helpful in getting
travelers to their destinations by air, rail and road.
The city of Trivandrum is a mix of modern and traditional architecture, which is visible in the Legislative Assembly, the Museum Complex, the temples and Palace. The narrow winding lanes allow visitors to take in the ambience of old Kerala through the pagoda-style buildings and red-tiled roofs.
