  2. Standing tall on the waterfront of South Mumbai, the Gateway of India is an architectural masterpiece built in 1924 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary. Crafted in Indo-Saracenic style with intricate basalt stonework, it once served as the ceremonial entrance to India for British dignitaries. Today, it remains Mumbai’s most iconic landmark -a symbol of the city’s colonial past and cosmopolitan spirit. From here, your speedboat departs for Elephanta Island, offering breathtaking views of the archway against the Arabian Sea and the majestic Taj Mahal Palace nearby.

About Mumbai

Mumbai is India's restless, glamorous megacity on the Arabian Sea, a city of colonial landmarks, seaside promenades, film studios and street food.

The Gateway of India faces the harbour beside the grand Taj Mahal Palace hotel, and Colaba's streets fill with cafés and markets. The Gothic-revival Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Victorian and Art Deco buildings around the Oval Maidan show the city's architectural ambition.

Top-ranked sights in Mumbai: Gateway of India, Dhobi Ghat, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT).
