Start your day with a delightful and flavour staple breakfast of Mumbai, Poha. With raised spirits, you are ready for the trip to the Gateway of India, one of the most renowned monuments in India. This presents a description of a colonial symphony and is a testament to the creative fusion of numerous Western elements. The intricacy in design and architecture makes it one of the most sought-after treasures in the list of treasure coves of India.
Next, you can proceed towards another symbol of historical tales and heritage highlights, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. This architectural marvel recounts the tales of the past where iconic moments came to fruition. This is a site that became a crucial safe house in the Freedom Movement and has remnants of that time that will take you back to the era. The rich sophisticated structure makes it a marvel to wonder at.
You can step into the hall of preserved heritage through the treasure trove of the cultural past. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vaastu Sangrahalaya (Prince of Wales Museum) houses carefully preserved artefacts, sculpture, and remnants of inscriptions that recounts cultural and heritage tales. This is where art defines the timeline and teleports you through an era long gone.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus also known as Victoria Terminus Status in Mumbai is an impressive example of the perfect blend of Victorian western and Indian architectural patterns. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where some of its parts such as domes, tower arches and pillars resemble the Indian palaces of the traditional era.
End your day with a relaxing stroll along the Marine Drive and enjoy a mesmerising sunset.
