Things to do in Mumbai
- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Also known as the Prince of Whales Museum, it is Mumbai's biggest and best museum. The display is comprised of a mix of exhibits and trinkets from all over India. The architectural inspiration was drawn from the Islamic and Hindu faith, while also incorporating British influence. Opened in 1923, the museum still attracts hordes of visitors every year.
- Taj Mahal Palace. Ideal for those who are looking for unrivalled luxury when searching for accommodation but also a great spot for high tea! The hotel reflects a blend of Islamic and Renaissance architecture and design; it is a landmark worth seeing. Spoil yourself and enjoy an exceptional meal in one of the opulent dining rooms or pop in for a cup of Java.
- Marine Drive & Girgaum Chowpatty. Home to Mumbai's most popular promenade, Marine Drive is lined with decaying art deco apartments and an array of popular nightlife spots. Girgaum Chowpatty attracts those who wish to view sunsets, explore the trinkets sold along the beach and enjoy the fresh air. It is important to note that the water is extremely toxic, which means that a swim is out of the question!
