Walking

If you are in Mattancherry, start at the Mattancherry Palace. Head east on Palace Road towards the junction. When you reach the junction, turn left onto Moulana Azad Road. Continue walking straight for about 500 meters. You will see signs pointing towards Jew Town. Keep an eye out for the historic architecture and vibrant street life along the way. As you approach, look for the large sign indicating the entrance to Jew Town at P.B.N 281.

Auto Rickshaw

For a quicker option, you can hire an auto rickshaw from various points in Mattancherry. Simply tell the driver you want to go to Jew Town, and they will take you directly to P.B.N 281, Moulana Azad Road. The fare should be around ₹30 to ₹50, depending on your starting point and traffic conditions. Make sure to negotiate or ask the driver for the estimated fare before you start your ride.

Bicycle Rental

Another eco-friendly option is to rent a bicycle from one of the nearby rental shops. After renting a bike, head towards Mattancherry Palace and follow the same route as walking: go east on Palace Road, turn left onto Moulana Azad Road, and ride straight for about 500 meters. Cycling allows you to enjoy the sights more leisurely. Rental prices typically range from ₹100 to ₹300 for a few hours.
