The Gateway of India is located on the waterfront at Apollo Bunder area at the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Marg in South Mumbai and overlooks the Arabian Sea. The monument has also been referred to as the Taj Mahal of Mumbai, and is the city's top tourist attraction.
Nariman Point is Mumbai’s business district, with high-rise offices and upscale hotels, popular for sunset drinks at sea-facing bars. It’s home to the National Centre for the Performing Arts, hosting experimental theater and international music acts, and the Piramal Art Gallery, displaying modern visual arts. The area lies at the end of Marine Drive, a promenade lined with art deco buildings.
As the place became more popular among tourists, government decided to top up the beauty of the place. Marine Drive was later constructed to be the Miami of India. Similar to Miami, the place is covered with offices, apartment blocks, cinemas and others built in Art Deco style. The place was designed to represent the architectural beauty of the land and many travelers have compared it with the Miami’s architecture.

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.
