A 26m basalt triumphal arch overlooking Mumbai Harbour, built in 1924 to commemorate the 1911 royal visit of King George V and Queen Mary. It's the city's most photographed landmark and the departure point for ferries to Elephanta Island.

6th–7th century rock-cut cave temples dedicated to Shiva, carved into an island roughly 10km across the harbour from the Gateway of India. The main cave's giant Trimurti (three-faced Shiva) sculpture is the centerpiece. Reached only by ferry.

Closed: Closed Mondays

Ferry round-trip from the Gateway of India jetty costs separately, roughly ₹200–250 (not included above — confidence: medium, prices vary by operator). Additional on-site charges: ~₹10 village/toy-train entry, ~₹25 for video camera use. Closed Mondays.

Formerly the Prince of Wales Museum, this 1922 Indo-Saracenic building holds Mumbai's finest art, archaeology and natural-history collections — Indus Valley artifacts, Mughal miniatures and more. Foreign visitors get a free audio guide.

Rate effective 1 May 2025; includes a free audio guide for foreign visitors. Sources disagree on whether the museum has a weekly closure day (one says none, another says Monday) — could not confirm definitively, so no closedDay is set here; verify before publishing.

One of Mumbai's most-visited Ganesh temples, built in 1801 and expanded over the centuries, drawing everyone from daily commuters to Bollywood stars. Modest dress (knees and shoulders covered) is expected.

Free general entry. An optional ₹50 'Sheegra Darshan' ticket buys a fast-track queue (cuts wait from hours to ~20–45 min). Foreign nationals/NRIs can pre-book a darshan slot and should carry passport/residency proof.

A 19th-century Sufi shrine and mosque built on an islet, reached via a narrow causeway that floods completely at high tide. Open to visitors of all faiths.

Free entry, open 5:30am–10pm, but the causeway is impassable at high tide. Best visited roughly 8–11am or 3:30–7pm; exact safe windows shift daily with the tide, so check a local tide table before going.

A 3.6km C-shaped boulevard curving along the Arabian Sea from Nariman Point to Chowpatty Beach, nicknamed the 'Queen's Necklace' for the arc of streetlights that lights up at dusk. Free, and one of the best sunset spots in the city.

Formerly Victoria Terminus, this 1887 Victorian Gothic Revival building fused with Indian architectural motifs is still Mumbai's busiest railway station and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (2004). Photography of the exterior and concourse is generally allowed.

Free to view — it's a working station, so the exterior and public concourse are open to all. Some sources describe the interior heritage gallery/museum section as accessible only via a guided tour in the afternoon; exact hours and booking process are unconfirmed, so verify locally.

A complex of 109 Buddhist rock-cut caves carved between the 1st century BCE and 10th century CE, set inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park roughly 6km from the Borivali gate (walk, cycle-rickshaw, or park shuttle bus).

Closed: Closed Mondays

This covers the Sanjay Gandhi National Park gate fee only (foreign adult, ~₹287, rounded). Kanheri Caves itself requires a separate ASI ticket once inside the park — published figures for this range from ₹200 to ₹300 for foreigners depending on the source, so treat it as unverified. A vehicle entry fee and a photography surcharge (~₹235, one source) may also apply. Closed Mondays.
