Top 10 things to do in Mumbai
If you've never been to India, a trip to Mumbai is a leap straight into the deep end! The country's richest and poorest live side by side in cultural, historical, and spiritual contradiction. Here are a few sightseeing essentials to get you started.
Gateway of India
Mumbai Harbor's vast monument was built to commemorate 1911's royal visit. The vibrant streetlife that has formed around it makes it a great starting point if you're new in town!
Shree Siddhivinayak Mandir
As one of India's most extravagant Hindu temples, the astonishing Shree Siddhivinayak provides tourists with fascinating insight into Mumbai's spiritual life.
Elephanta Island
Also known as Gharapuri, the island was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the labyrinth of Hindu temples carved into its stone caves between 450 and 750AD.
Mount Mary Church
The Catholic Basilica annually attracts thousands of pilgrims to its shrine of the Virgin Mary. If you can, go during September's Bandra Fair, which celebrates the Virgin's birth!
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
Built in 1888, the vast train station blends Neo-Gothic, Hindu, and Islamic design into one of the city's architectural highlights. Just don't expect it to be as pretty inside!
Haji Ali Dargah
This imposing mosque is also the tomb of Sufi saint Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari. It can only be reached via a narrow walkway at low tide so plan your visit accordingly!
Dhobi Ghat
Open-air laundries are a common sight across India, but Mumbai boasts the world's largest! You can go inside, but the best views of washermen at work come from the bridge above it.
Global Vipassana Pagoda
Learn to meditate from 10:00AM to 6:00PM at the breathtaking Buddhist Stupa modelled on Myanmar’s Shwedagon Pagoda. Entrance is free, but foreign visitors must provide ID.
Bollywood
Mumbai is the center of India's film industry, so why not catch a flick at the famous Eros Cinema? Alternatively, enjoy a tour of its largest studio complex – Film City!
Sanjay-Gandhi-Nationalpark
Surprisingly, the sprawling, densely populated metropolis has a national park within its city limits! Arrive early though – many of its attractions are closed by lunchtime.
Planning Your Mumbai Visit
How many days?
Mumbai is perfect for a quick weekend visit, but if you're planning on more than simply sightseeing, book 3 or 4 full days.
How safe is it?
Mumbai is a busy, unpredictable city, and while it might not be especially dangerous, it pays to keep your wits about you. Avoid flaunting your cash in public and giving out personal details (including your travel plans). Also, visit with a companion. Violence against tourists is uncommon, but when it does happen, it tends towards those travelling alone.

What people are saying about Mumbai
Fantastic but ridiculously expensive on this site
I had a great experience. Later on when the tour operator who organised this tour, linked me to their site...I found out that a day like this actually only costs €35 for 2 persons instead of €250 for two persons. This is a ridiculous difference! My advise, if you find the local guide I would say, go for that! Because what you pay here is too much.
Very interesting and exciting sightseeing tour
This tour is the best possibility to see all important sightseeing spots of Mumbai. Special thanks to my guide Vishal and my driver Vikram, who made this tour with their enthusiasm most enjoyable and unforgettable.
fantastic tour must try. you will never regret.
we had a lot of fun it was beyond our expectation. the guide speaking English fluently and he had a lot of information about Bollywood film industry. the complimentary food was very delicious. fantastic tour must try. you will never regret.
Perfect 3-hour tour to cover the best of Mumbai
Our guide was very professional and kind. She had the talent to make everything she said interesting. We got to see a lot and learn a lot about India and Mumbai. A very good day!
Amazing experience - must do, if you are in Mumbai
We got picked up from the hotel - exactly at the mentioned time (8:30 am), even though it was around 2 h away from the gate of India. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. He explained us everything about the tour itself and all other things we were interested in. After reaching the Gate of India we approached the boat right away, the seats can be chosen freely. The boat ride to Elephanta Island takes around 1 h. There we met the „cave guide“. He is a local and know very well about the caves. This was one of the most interesting experiences I had in India. Additionally, he made amazing pictures of us. Both guides were talking a very good English, so we could communicate easily. Overall the tour took around 8 h (without additional costs, of course) for us, because of the long bus ride between our hotel and the gate of India. I highly recommend to do that tour, because of the great organization, no hidden costs and the amazing cave guide.
