Our take
Marine Drive is the city's classic evening walk: a long sea wall lined with palms and art deco buildings, with sunset over the Arabian Sea. From higher ground the curve of lights reads as a string of pearls. It costs nothing and links easily to Chowpatty at one end and Nariman Point at the other.
Best for: A free evening walk by the sea
