The Gateway of India is an iconic landmark located on the waterfront in South Mumbai. Built in 1924, the monument was originally intended to welcome King George V and Queen Mary to India. The basalt arch, standing 26 metres tall, remains a popular tourist attraction and a starting point for boat rides to the nearby Elephanta Caves.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the busiest railway stations in India. The Victorian Gothic architecture, stained glass windows and dome-shaped roofs make it an unmissable spot for architecture buffs. A short walk from the station is the Crawford Market, a popular shopping destination for fresh produce, souvenirs, and handicrafts.
Colaba Causeway is a bustling street market, popular for street shopping and food stalls. It’s a great place to pick up some souvenirs before heading to your final stop of the trip - a Bollywood Tour. Mumbai is the home of Bollywood, the Indian film industry, which produces more than 1,000 movies a year. You can take a tour of the major studios, gain a behind-the-scenes look at film production and catch a live shooting of a Bollywood movie.
If you have more time, visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, a museum that houses several exhibits on Indian history and culture. For food lovers, add a culinary tour of the city to your itinerary.
If you have less time, skip the Crawford Market and visit Marine Drive, a popular promenade on the Arabian Sea.
