As it is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of India, so mostly large Office Space, Skyscraper residential tower, Bollywood stars\u2019 homes, and some famous World Heritage Sites are one of the most important things to visit in Mumbai. But that is from an outsiders view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was not staying in Mumbai and visited twice for some official purpose I visited those places. But now for the past 7 months, I stay at Mumbai, so in this post, I will tell what else you should try if you are visiting Mumbai for the first time from any other parts of India or even other Countries. Typically all those things you can complete in 3-4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know more places of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.travelthroughmyeye.com\/incredible-india\/\" target=\"_blank\">Incredible India<\/a> from Travelthroughmyeye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">This Blog Includes<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-661783cdd5e7e\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-661783cdd5e7e\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/things-to-do-in-mumbai\/#What_to_do_in_Mumbai_%E2%80%93_Travel_Guide\" title=\"What to do in Mumbai &#8211; Travel Guide\">What to do in Mumbai &#8211; Travel Guide<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/things-to-do-in-mumbai\/#1_Visit_Gateway_of_India_Taj_Hotel_and_Elephanta_Cave\" title=\"1.

Visit Gateway of India, Taj Hotel and Elephanta Cave: <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These 3 places are most visited tourist\nplaces in Mumbai as per my opinion. All three places can be visited in the same\nday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to reach:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you are travelling in Car\/ Uber, you can\ngive the exact location. If you are travelling by Bus\/Train then you have to\nreach Church Gate Station (Western Railway) which is the nearest station.\nHowever if you are the first time visitor then avoid train (at least in\nweekdays)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When to visit: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I have already mentioned that all 3\nplaces are nearby, but visit to Elephanta cave needs at least 5-6 Hours. So\nplan accordingly if you have plan to visit Elephanta, otherwise any time\n(preferably during Sunset) you can visit the rest of the two places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gateway of India was constructed in 1924, in the British Era and it is also said that the last British troops left through this architecture.

It has 560 rooms and 44 suits. The new tower called Taj Mahal tower is\njust besides the old heritage building. The hotel was damaged heavily in the\n2008 Mumbai attacks by LET. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1018\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Elephanta Cave is in Elephanta Island\nwhich is located almost 2km offshore from JNPT. For reaching the island you\nneed to book ticket from ticket counter at Gateway of India. The ticket cost is\nRs.200 per person for both way. It will take at least 30 minutes to reach by\nspeed boat. However after reaching the island you need to climb at least 1 km\nto reach the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Visit_to_Chhatrapati_Shivaji_Maharaj_Terminus\"><\/span><strong>2.

It is also the headquarter of Central railway. The station was named after the then reigning Queen Victoria. Later in 1996, it was renamed as ChhatrapatiShivajiTerminas and in 2017 it was again renamed as ChhatrapatiShivajiMaharajTerminas (CSMT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Visit_to_Crawford_Market\"><\/span><strong>3. Visit to Crawford Market<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are visiting ChhatrapatiShivaji\nTerminus then your next destination should be Crawford Market. It is the\nbiggest market in South Mumbai. It was named after fist Municipal Commissioner Mr\nArthur Crawford. In this market you will find everything from Cloths to Shoe,\nfrom Books to dry fruits, from Soft toys to cosmetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But beware before buying any random things. Most of the cosmetics are fake!! We bought and learned our lesson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Cross_the_Sea_link_Bridge_from_Bandra_to_Worli\"><\/span><strong>4.

Earlier by road Bandra to Worli, one has to travel for\natleast 30-60 min depending on traffic which can now be reduced to only 10\nminutes with the help of this bridge. It started in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1019\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Taste_the_yummy_Mumbai_Street_food\"><\/span><strong>5.

Mumbai and Kolkata are the two cities in India where you can get best roadside snacks.BadaPao, Daveli, MiselPao, SeoPuri, DahiPuri are name of some yummy food you must try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Travel_in_the_most_crowded_Local_Train_in_India\"><\/span><strong>6.

Spread over more than 2000 Km, it operates more than 2000 trains and more than 7.5 Million travellers commute daily. There are five line- Western, Central, Harbour, Trans- Harbour and Nerul-Uran line. In every 2-3 minutes, there will be train which are fully loaded. Without having a ride in Mumbai local your visit to Mumbai is incomplete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/routeprints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/5-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1021\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Please\ntravel in Off peak hours (Morning 5-6 am\/ 11am-4pm) as in office time trains\nare really crowded and for any new person it is quite impossible to take a\nride, at the same time the real Mumbai local can be witnessed only in office\nhours. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is one of the most populous cities in India.
