Things to do in Mumbai, Maharashtra: The Best Historic Sites

July 3, 2021 Flossie Demartino

Though Mumbai can feel chaotic and crowded, there are peaceful moments to be found here. Nibble a paper cone of bhelpuri while you stroll the sands of Chowpatty Beach. Then, take a short walk to Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, strategized, and was ultimately arrested. The markets are spirited places to bargain for spices or souvenirs. Take a guided tour of Dharavi – made famous by "Slumdog Millionaire" – for an eye-opening glimpse into what Mumbai life is like for nearly a million people.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation building

Reviewed By mahesh822 - Mumbai, India

Touted to have a bigger budget which is more than that of few countries is the mammoth structure of Mumbai Municipal Corporations Head Quarter, just opposite to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Station. Caring eqch and everyday for cleanliness and hygiene standarfs side of Mumbai, this office also is important for Local Corporators works and allotments. Many or rather all the important decisions related to health, cleaning Mumbai and well being of the Mumbai's population, it acts very vibrantly during rains also by providing Disaster Management services to the needy and poor for shelters on temporary basis. Hawkers management, happens to be the major contributor to BMCs work everyday. Silence Zone management, Government Hospitals, also is major co Trinitron from BMC for Mumbaikars.

Bandra Fort

Reviewed By sijick - Mumbai, India

At the land's end is the Band stand, where in British raj, the band used to play music, hence the name. It has a small fort like structure, still in its ancient form. The sea dashing against its walls makes it a lovely sight. Whenever we visit Mount Mary, we do make it a point to go here. Only issue is when we go with family, we feel embarrassed as love couples are shamelessly doing their stuff. Police should do something about this menace.
