Attraction
Gateway of India
Colaba, Mumbai, India
A 26-metre basalt arch on the Colaba waterfront, unveiled in 1924 to mark the visit of King George V and Queen Mary.
National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA)
Our take
NCPA's calendar covers Western classical, Indian music, theatre, dance and film, so most nights offer something. October 2026 includes the SOI Chamber Orchestra (13 October), several plays, Met Opera screenings and the Mumbai LitFest from 23 October. It sits at the southern tip of Marine Drive, so a show combines well with a seafront walk.
