What to Experience in Mumbai
See Mumbai’s Most Famous Landmark
You can’t travel to Mumbai without visiting the stunning Taj Mahal Palace. The second-most photographed monument in India is a hotel that perfectly blends Islamic and Renaissance architecture making it look like it’s from the pages of a fairytale.
Taj Mahal Palace was built by JN Tata in 1903 after he was reportedly refused entry to nearby hotels for being a native. In 2008, dozens were killed in the hotel during a terrorist attack, but it was fully restored and reopened in Independence Day 2010.
Experience the Grandeur of Mumbai’s Historic Train Station
It’s not every day that you see a train station as grand and extravagant as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. The throngs of people going in and out of this building is only part of its charm and its combination of Hindu, Islamic and Victorian styles take you back in time to colonial-era India.
Shop Until You Drop at Mumbai’s Bazaars
Whether you’re looking for beautiful silk or unique souvenirs, you’ll find them at one of the many bazaars in Mumbai. Shopping is a great way to explore the city and immerse in its local culture while getting some real good bargains.
Head to Colaba Causeway for cheap finds, Cho Bazaar for some antiques and Crawford Market and Bombay Electric for beautiful Indian designs.
Eat at Peshawri
There is good reason locals and tourists flock to Peshawri, and you should never miss a stop here whenever you’re in Mumbai.
This Northwest Forntier restaurant features signature dishes like the Murgh Malai, a tandoor-grilled chicken marinated in malt vinegar, cream cheese, coriander and green chilli, and the diving Dhal Bukhara, which is a black dahl simmered for 24 hours.
The restaurant has the same menu and décor with Bukhara, the famous restaurant in Delhi and is one of the best places to enjoy authentic Indian food done right.
