Mumbai, dubbed the "jewel in India's crown," pulses and thumps with more than 18 million people. It is the most populous city in the country and is rapidly expanding. With so many people and things to do in Mumbai, it's easy to become distracted during your vacation.
Today, this city is a smorgasbord of religions, customs, cuisine, and bustling commerce. Acocording to local legend, Mumbai has more millionaires per square kilometer than Manhattan. Bollywod is one of the city's biggest moneymakers, so don't be surprised if you come across a film shoot with hundreds of beautiful dancers in flowing saris.
While it may be impossible to do everything at your disposal when you stay in Mumbai, here are Top 5 things to do.
1. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya Museum The museum, formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, is divided into three sections that celebrate art, architecture, and natural history. The art collection includes outstanding representations of India's major painting schools, including works in the Mughal, Rajasthani, Pahari, and Deccani styles. Numerous terra cotta figures and religious sculptures, as well as ornaments from the Indus Valley Civilisation dating back to 3000 B.C.E., can be found in the architecture exhibition. The museum's natural history wing features dioramas of some of India's most amazing wildlife, including flamingos, Indian bison, and tigers.
4. Gateway of India The Gateway of India, also known as the "Taj Mahal of Mumbai," was built as a monument to commemorate King George V and Queen Mary's visit to Mumbai in 1911. The basalt arch is approximately 26 meters high and is located at the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg along the water in Mumbai harbor. Tourists, vendors, and street hawkers combine to create a fair-like atmosphere around the majestic building. You can also go on a mumbai cruise from the port towards alibaug and Elephanta caves.

5. Elephanta Island Elephanta Island is located 10 kilometers (6 miles) east of Mumbai and can be reached by ferry or cruises from mumbai, in about an hour from the Gateway of India. This destination, which was once the capital of an ancient local kingdom, is famous for the Elephanta Caves, or cave temples filled with sculptures and figurines. The name Elephanta Island was given by Portuguese explorers who saw a basalt sculpture of an elephant and attempted to take it with them. The explorers were overcome by the weight of the carved rock and threw it into the sea. The massive elephant was later dragged from the water and transported to Mumbai's Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum. Elephanta Island still has a plethora of other amazing figures carved out of the rock to be seen.

8. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Station) Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, India's busiest train station, was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee. Architect Frederick William Stevens was inspired by Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival and Mughal structures. Visitors can find palatial details such as brass railings, wood carvings, grand staircases, and more throughout the structure. You can take both local commuter and long-distance trains from here if you want to extend your trip beyond Mumbai.
10. Marine Drive The six-lane Marine Drive curves in a C-shape along the coast and is also known as "The Queen's Necklace" because its street lights at night resemble a string of hanging pearls. A promenade lined with palm trees and dotted with street food vendors and restaurants runs parallel to the drive. Residents and tourists alike flock here for an early morning stroll or to watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. The view makes Marine Drive a desirable piece of real estate, and it is home to several hotels (including the InterContinental) and office towers (including Air India). The road connects Nariman Point to Babulnath and Malabar Hill for those who want to drive. Every year in February, as part of the Bombay Marathon, runners make their way down Marine Drive.
