Things to Do  

GATEWAY OF INDIA

GATEWAY OF INDIA, Mumbai

 63 Reviews  The Gateway to India is worth a quick look but it'll only take a minute to see all there is there. There are crowds of people, mostly visiting the site and lots selling random 'rubbish'. Worth a walk to it if you are in the Colabab area but nothing mind blowing here.
