Places to visit in Mumbai

 

1. Gateway of india

The whole of India is packed with breathtaking monuments, and Mumbai’s Gateway of India is one of the most spectacular. Overlooking the Arabian Sea, the 85-foot structure offers a particularly stunning sight when lit up in the evenings.It had taken nearly a decade to build this beautiful structure, that we have been seeing since 1924, but it’s truly one of Mumbai’s greatest attractions. Furthermore, it being on the waterfront provides the visitors with plenty more to enjoy too.

The Gateway of India cost Rs 24 lakh back in 1924. The gateway is a brilliant example of the Indo-Saracenic style i.e. amalgamation of Indian and Islamic architecture.

2. Bandra-Worli Sea Link

The cable-stayed bridge was only completed in 2010, but it is already considered a must-see part of the beautiful city. Essentially, it’s just a construction used to link Bandra to Worli. However, it symbolizes the juxtaposition between natural beauty and man-made beauty. In truth, the Worli side probably edges things in terms of scenery. But if you’re looking to enjoy both areas of the city, crossing the bridge will cut travel time by half. Therefore, it’s a practical attraction as well as a sight that will stay with you forever.

The 5.6 km long Bandra-Worli bridge cost Rs 16.5 billion, and took 10 years to be constructed (starting in 2000). The bridge brought down the commute time between Worli and Bandra from 90 minutes to less than 10 minutes!

3. ISKCON Temple

Just a short distance from the enjoyable Juhu Beach, the ISKCON temple is a Hindu temple built on four acres of land. It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s a landmark that every visitor should want to visit during their trip to Mumbai. The temple opened in 1978. It does get busy, especially during holy festivals. The architecture and cultural significance ensure that you’ll be left in awe throughout your visit and making it on the list of thing to do in Mumbai.

The complex houses the beautiful marble temple, alongside a restaurant, auditorium, and seven-story guest house for the visitors.

4. Imagica Water Park

In addition to its cultural significance, Mumbai boasts an average temperature of 27.2 degrees. And if you’re visiting outside of the rainy season, then you’ll want to get out and enjoy the sun too. There’s no better place to do that than at Imagica water park dubbed as one of the best resorts near Mumbai.

Rides include

• Boomeranggo
• Floatsa
• Loopy Woopy and
• Raftaastic.

Those slides and attractions ensure that the water park is an ideal venue for a day of family fun. Even, the on-site food is pretty decent. As a day excursion to break up the sightseeing, it is undoubtedly one of the best. Not only in Mumbai, but in India as a whole.

5. Ferozeshah Mehta

Ferozeshah Mehta, also known as the Hanging Gardens, is located opposite Kamala National Park. Fountains, flowers, and other beautiful elements offer the ideal scenery, and it’s a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Kids will love the animal carved hedges on display throughout the grounds. The Hanging Gardens is something that has caught people’s attention for nearly 150 years. Even the idea of seeing something hanging, let alone it being an entire garden is fascinating to many. And this, Ulhas Ghapokar creation has been doing this since 1881. So if you are planning a trip to the Maharashtra capital, make sure you are spending some time at this beautiful creation. Want to know, when is the best time to visit this beauty? When the sun is about to set, the view is just spectacular. Yes, when in Mumbai, points of interest are many but then again this one shouldn’t be missed.
