Planning a short holiday and considering Thiruvananthapuram. I’ve been looking into the things to do in Thiruvananthapuram, and it seems like a mix of culture, temples, beaches, and peaceful city spots.

How many days are actually enough to explore it properly? I’m curious about must-visit places like Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Kovalam Beach, and local markets.

Also wondering how easy it is to travel around the city and whether food options are good for first-time visitors.

Would really like some honest travel tips from people who’ve already been there.
