One such tourist spot happens to be Mumbai, which is a bustling metropolis and India’s financial capital. Observe the streets and it is constantly crowded with people whether it is day or night. However, Mumbai has a glorious history as we can find on its various historic structures. It is also surprising to discover that once upon a time, Mumbai was a group of seven islands which were underdeveloped. The credit of developing this metropolis solely goes to the British.

Here are some of the important landmarks of Mumbai:

Gateway of India

Any visit Mumbai is not complete without a visit to the Gateway of India. A soul of the city, it is an important landmark which is dated to 1924. A colossal arch, the structure was built using the Indo-Saracenic style. Initially built to welcome King George V in 1911, the structure reached completion only in 1924. Near the Gateway of India, we also come across the Taj Mahal Hotel, which was opened 1903. An important landmark and heritage structure in its own right, this five-star hotel is regarded by many as a luxurious and prestigious hotel in India.

Elephanta Caves

Located close to Mumbai, these caves can be accessed by a boat ride from the Gateway of India. The caves here consist of two groups. The first group consists of five Hindu caves and the other one consists of two Buddhist Caves. Built using Basalt, the caves sustained damages under the Portuguese rule. In 1987, the caves were declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with an aim to conserve the artwork.

Aarey Milk Colony

Located in Goregaon, the Aarey Milk Colony is a flourishing milk production centre. However there are various gardens and lakes which make it a major tourist attraction.
