Gateway of India

One of India’s most recognised monuments; the Gateway of India was erected to
commemorate the historical visit of King George V to Mumbai. Completed way back in 1924, this monument is a symbol of the British Raj in the country. The last British troops had left India in 1947 through this very Gate. The looming Gateway was designed to be the first concrete structure that visitors can view while coming by sea. It is an inspiring place to begin your exploration of the other parts of this pulsating city. Located in South Mumbai on the waterfronts in Colaba, the Gateway of India is in close proximity to the Taj Palace and Tower Hotel.

The Heritage Buildings of Mumbai

While travelling across the length and breadth of Mumbai, you will come across many heritage buildings that make you marvel over their intricate colonial architecture and aesthetical opulence, in more ways than one. Ranking among the best are the Gothic Prince of Wales Museum located within the Kala Ghoda art precinct, the Bombay High Court (that allows you to wander within its sprawling corridors and be entertained by a trial in progress), the Victoria Terminus Railway Station and the buildings of Horniman Circle situated in the Fort area.
