Kalbadevi
No
visit to Mumbai is complete without a round into the bazaars of
Kalbadevi, north of Crawford Market. The narrow lanes of this
area are flooded in by laundry-draped chawls, and a huge mass
of people bring Mumbai's traffic to a standstill. It's in complete
contrast to the relative space, orderliness and modernity of South
Mumbai. The main areas are Zaveri Bazaar (jewellery), Mangaldas
Market (cloth), Dhabu St (leather goods) Mumbai's
Gateway
Of India
The Gateway of India - a 26 mt. Triumphal Archway designed Century
to commemorate the visit of King Geoge and Queen Mary to India
in 1911 - is Mumbai's most famous landmark. Ironically, when the
Raj ended in 1947, this colonial symbol also became a sort of
epitaph: the last of the British ships that set sail for England
left from the Gateway.
Behind the arch, there are steps leading down to the water. Here,
you can get onto one of the bobbing little motor launches, for
a short cruise through Mumbai's splendid natural harbour.
Prince
Charles Museum
Built in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture to honour king
George V's visit to India. It has 3 main sections: Art , Archealogy
, & Natural History. It has a fine collection of Chinese Jade
pieces, oil paintings & miniature paintings.
Rajabai
Clock Tower ( Mumbai University )
Situated at the gardens of Mumbai university building, the Rajabai
Clock tower rises above the portion of the library section. Consisting
of 5 elaborately decorated storeys, the tower is 280 ft. In height
and commands a fine view of the city. From the ground are about
eight other statues depicting various Indian castes.
Haji
Ali's Mosque

Situated in between the Arabian Sea, is a whitewashed fairytale
mosque containing the tomb of the Muslim saint Haji Ali.
Essel World
This is Mumbai's only international-style amusement centre situated
close to Gorai Beach. Special ferries get you across to the park
and the entrance fee normally takes care of a fixed number of
rides. These include the standard roller coaster and adventure
themes, plus a water world section where kids can literally run
amok. Summer is usually crowded, but the place also offers low
budget monsoon packages and special deals on weekends. Check these
out before you go.
Film City
Mockingly called Bollywood by locals, Film City clings to the
outskirts of the National Park, and is practically overrun by
assorted stars and starlets -- the demi gods and goddesses of
modern India. Bollywood churns out over 900 films every year,
all packed with those mandatory elements of song, dance, melodrama,
violence and erotica that audiences love. Which is probably why
Film City sets are heavily booked around the year. They are closed
to visitors, but special permissions can always be obtained to
check out the action.
Juhu beach
Like Chowpatty, its downtown counterpart, uptown Juhu Beach is
also a bourgeois paradise, filled to the gills with screaming
children, courting couples and rowdy adolescents. If you want
a more fancy excursion, however, retreat behind Juhu's many five
star hotels, for a steaming cup of coffee and a splendid view
of the coast. The most popular of these beachfront hotels are
the Sun and Sand and Holiday Inn. The government run Juhu Centaur
also has a 24 hour coffee shop with a view of the sea.
