Exploring Mumbai in One Day - Best Sights in Bombay

We had an awesome day in Mumbai taking in the sights of the city that was previously named Bombay! Mumbai was quite different than other cities we have visited in India so far, mostly because the city is right on the coast. During our one day of exploring Mumbai, we visited the Gateway of India (and almost got robbed), had a coffee inside the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, visited Chowpatty Beach at sunset, tried vada pav for the first time, and got to see the CST train station (chhatrapati shivaji terminus) lit up at night! Oh yeah, and when we arrived in Mumbai we took the local Mumbai train. That was WILD!

If you are visiting Mumbai and are wondering what to do with one day in Bombay, feel free to follow our itinerary! If you are a foreigner visiting India for the first time like we are, be sure to schedule in lots of breaks during your day exploring Mumbai because not only is it very hot, but it's very busy! People at the Gateway to India can be very excited to take pictures with foreigners visiting India, and if you're like us, this can result in a weary traveler! Going for a coffee inside the Taj Mahal Palace hotel (just across the street from the Gateway of India) is a great way to take a peaceful, air conditioned break after your visit to the harbor.

I'm convinced you guys are by far the most gutsy travellers I see on youtube, first you took the bus and now the local train, as an Indian it's daily life for us, but I can totally understand how overwhelming it can be for a foreigner, mad props to both of you, loving the India series 🇮🇳❤️🇨🇦

From historical landmarks to modern marvels, Mumbai truly has it all. I'm already planning my own adventure and counting down the days until I can immerse myself in the beauty and culture of Bombay.

[shayanraj]

Fun Fact : The hotel nearby India Gate, the Taj Palace is older than The India Gate itself 😂😂

The frenzy of Mumbai, a beautiful city on the shores of the Arabian Sea, was amazing. Also, the real look of the city at night is best felt around your brightly lit stations and municipal buildings.

[amangill]

love your india vlogs i just came back from india i was in delhi and the north part

[shivamshrivastava]

u guys are so cool i know.. When asked about thousand times to buy somthing, guides, photographers, selfies, etc any natural person at some point of time will get offended.. But most of them are poor or villagers / small towns specially ones asking for selfies... They mostly don't have any bad intentions... Just try to ignore them or say 'no'

[santoshpatnaik]

Cleanest beaches in India are in Andaman and Nicobar Islands alongwith Lakshwadweep which are amongst the most beautiful beaches and islands in the world..mainland India beaches would be best in Konkan region and East coast in Visakhapatnam

[nixonraj]

You guys are and belongings in the FRONT. Not just India but globally, in general. Enjoy India to the fullest. Welcome to Mumbai !!

[romeldias]
