3 Days Itinerary in Mumbai, India - Travel Guide

Introduction

This itinerary unveils the magic of Mumbai; a bustling metropolis often regarded as the 'City of Dreams'. Immerse yourself in the dynamic mix of cultural heritage, historic landmarks, mouthwatering cuisine, and vibrant markets over the course of three exhilarating days.

Day 1 - A Historic Introduction to Mumbai

Start your journey with a visit to the Gateway of India, an iconic Mumbai landmark steeped in history. Closeby, you'll find The Taj Mahal Palace. Don’t let the name fool you – it’s not the world-renowned Mughal mausoleum but a 113-year-old, luxury hotel which is almost as legendary. Take a breather at the lush gardens of Hanging Gardens and Kamala Nehru Park offering breath-taking panoramic views of the city and shore. In the afternoon, acquaint yourself with Mumbai's rich cultural history at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Come evening, revel in a spectacular sunset at the ever-buzzing Juhu Beach, wrapping up your day with some mind-blowing Mumbai street food.

Day 2 - Mumbai’s Culture and Cuisine

Kickstart your day at Elephanta Caves - a cluster of cave temples on Elephanta Island that house magnificent ancient artworks. Take a ferry from the Gateway of India to reach. Post that, visit Haji Ali Dargah, a striking mosque and mausoleum situated on an islet off the coast. After a traditional Mumbaikar lunch at Cafe Mondegar, drop by the famous shopping hub 'Colaba Causeway' for trendy clothes, antique items, and custom jewelry. No Mumbai visit is complete without experiencing its vibrant nightlife. Head to one of the many lounges on Linking Road for an unforgettable night.

Day 3 - Modern Marvel and Extraordinary Experiences

Make your last day unforgettable with a visit to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, an architectural marvel combining aesthetic beauty with purpose. Next, explore the beach-front Bandstand Promenade, and don't forget to check out the celebrity homes along 'Bollywood Boulevard'. Pop into one of Bandra's quirky cafés for lunch. Head out to Dharavi, once known as Asia's largest slum, which has since transformed into a dynamic, self-sustaining community. End your Mumbai adventure with a delicious traditional dinner at Trishna, famed for their diverse seafood offerings.
