Here is your short guide to Mumbai and its many faces.
Explore South Bombay
Mumbai has many faces, and one of its most visited is South Bombay – an artistic, more impressionable side of Mumbai. As soon as you step into South Bombay, its art-deco heritage oozes from every corner. The distinct architecture of the British-era colonial buildings, the intricate details and the rich history are all gram-worthy. Fort and Colaba boast towering buildings, the intricacy of which will leave you in awe. Step into Iranian bakeries, admire art at the Jehangir Art Gallery and wander through the streets of South Bombay as you soak in this city’s charm.
Enjoy a beautiful Sunset at Marine Drive
Imagine the waves crashing by, the soundscape of the waters hitting the rocks, as the sun sets and the sky is painted in the vibrant hues of oranges, blues, pinks and reds – the Queen’s Necklace promises that and much more. Marine Drive is a long promenade by the sea, that offers absolutely stunning views of the waters and the city beyond. People jogging, couples sitting, families clicking pictures, chana-walas and chai-walas are a norm here – providing an apt glimpse of this chaotic yet charming city. At night, this entire semi-circular stretch lights up, making it almost a magical sight, especially from atop.
Indulge in Street Shopping at Hill Road and Linking Road, Bandra
Bandra is the hub for all things shopping. This locality has 2 major attractions for street shoppers – Hill road and Linking Road. With a variety of shoes, clothes, jewellery, home decor items and much more – Bandra street shopping is a must when you visit Mumbai. These long streets have shops hidden that are absolutely amazing finds. When you are done, stop by at the famed street food corner – Elco and relish some delectable chaat, a perfect end to the evening.
Savour pleasant evenings at Juhu Beach
Juhu beach is one of the most famous beaches of Mumbai – and is a must-visit for all the people visiting Mumbai for the first time! Juhu Chowpatty is brimming with a host of experiences – you can embark on a boat ride, relish roadside pav-bhaji, golas, vada-pavs and more or simply sit by the waters and soak in the sunsets. We should warn you, if you are looking for a quiet beach evening – this is not it. Juhu beach is anything but quiet – its crowded, noisy and everything else in between, but is a true mirror of Mumbai and its chaos, making it an experience in itself.
Moreover, Mumbai’s proximity to the hill stations also means you can take short road trips from Mumbai and explore the scenic scenery around this city.
