Mumbai’s magical atmosphere is in a large part thanks to its breathtaking architecture that includes neoclassical religious buildings, old colonial landmarks and Indo-Saracenic hotels (a mix of Mughal and Gothic architecture).

Seaside Promenades

In the heart of the city you can stroll along seaside promenades, watching the sun go down over the Arabian Sea. The promenade along Marine Drive is a popular local hang out.

Bombay Art Society

Visit the Bombay Art Society, in the suburb of Bandra, and enjoy a contemporary arts venue that’s well over a hundred years old, showcasing a range of local artists.

Chowpatty Beach

When you need a break from the centre of the city, Mumbai offers a central beach, the Chowpatty Beach, where cotton candy vendors and local families congregate on hot Mumbai afternoons.

Hanging Gardens of Mumbai

Located at the top of a hill in the upscale area of Malabar Hills, the Hanging Gardens of Mumbai are beautiful terraced gardens, and one of the most peaceful spots in the city.
