 Mumbai's iconic symbol by Tijavi
And rightly so. Historically, the Gateway of India played a vital role in welcoming India's colonial masters (in 1927 to commemorate the visit of George V and Queen Mary) and bidding them farewll (in 1947, when some of the last English troops staged their return to England at the port of Bombay after India's independence). Architecturally, although India Gate is more massive (read: taller), Gateway of India's intricate and exquisite architectural detail (patterend after Paris' Arc de Triomphe) more than make up for what it lacks in size.
A must see for first timers in Mumbai. Leave a Comment Address: At the end of P.J.S. Ramchandani MargDirections: In south Mumbai's tourist area (Colaba and Fort area) in front of equally historic Taj Mahal Hotel.

 Gateway of India by radz
This is one of the imperial monument build by the the British goverment in Mumbai&most photograped too.It sits on top of Apollo Bunder(the place name),and front side beautiful garden not big small one ,center of the Garden, can see Shivaji statue.And seaside there are launches&cruisers anchored ,its starting point for Elephenta caves.I think its always crowded,people were rushing to get launch,
and few street venders to sell icecreams to many Souvenires .

 Gateway of India by PierreZA
It seems that this is a major tourist attraction for locals as well. Try to dodge the balloon sellers and postcard sellers. There is quite a festive atmosphere at night with many visitors to the area.
It is also here from where boat rides departs
Interesting architecture and it is nicely lit at night. Directions: Colaba

 Gateway of India by Canadienne
It's a fantastic place for people-watching ~ there are always lots of tourists (Indian and foreign alike), streetstalls and souvenir salesmen. It's located right across the street from the Taj Mahal Hotel so, if you aren't going to be coughing up the big bucks to stay here, this is also be your chance to stop inside for a drink or snack. The hotel is beautiful inside, as well as out, and has a killer Sunday brunch ($10 US). Leave a Comment

The IMS (Indian Museum Ship) Vikrant is anchored off the Gateway of India and daily trips to see it are arranged from the Gateway of India by motor launches and the prices are Rs100 for the launch ride as well as the visit!!! But if you want to take pictures then there is an extra charge of Rs35 for still cameras and Rs100 for video cameras!!! Timings are from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. The latest addition is a new gallery depicting the role of the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant during the 1971 war. Museum is not open to public during the monsoon season due to the choppy seas!!!
