As we walk along this picturesque stretch, take a moment to admire the Art Deco buildings that line the boulevard. These elegant structures, built in the 1930s and 1940s, give Mumbai the second-largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world, after Miami.
Duration: 15 mins
11. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
Part 6:
Next, hop on a local bus, just like the city’s daily commuters, and ride through the busy streets to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This architectural masterpiece, formerly known as Victoria Terminus, is a stunning mix of Gothic and Indian styles.
After marveling at CST, it’s time for a taste of Mumbai’s flavours. You’ll indulge in a plate of Pav Bhaji, one of the city’s most famous street foods. The buttery, spicy vegetable mash served with soft, toasted bread is a must-try, and no visit to Mumbai is complete without it.
Duration: 15 mins
12. Chor Bazaar
Scene 2: BOMBAY BLACK
Part 1:
Leaving behind the grandeur of South Mumbai, we hop into a black-and-yellow cab, weaving through the city’s maze-like streets as we enter the heart of what was once known as Black Town, a term famously described in Shantaram. This part of Mumbai stands in stark contrast to the colonial facades of Fort and Colaba—here, life moves at a frenetic pace, unfiltered and raw, with every street corner telling a different story.
Our first stop is the legendary Chor Bazaar, one of Mumbai’s most fascinating and chaotic markets. Its name translates to "Thieves' Market," and true to its reputation, it is a treasure trove of antiques, vintage Bollywood posters, old gramophones, rare books, and quirky bric-a-brac.
Duration: 20 mins
13. Kamathipura
Part 2:
Our journey takes us deeper into the city’s economic underbelly, where Mumbai’s relentless hustle unfolds in full force. As we pass through Kamathipura, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, you get a glimpse into a world shaped by migrants, trade, and industry. Originally established as a colonial-era red-light district, Kamathipura today is an area undergoing transformation, home to a resilient community of small businesses, bustling eateries, and age-old traditions.
If you have a sweet tooth, this is the perfect time for a quick culinary detour. Hidden in the narrow lanes is a century-old sweet shop, where you can sample some of Mumbai’s classic desserts. (optional)
Finally, we make our way to a nearby local train station, ready to continue your adventure. The local trains—often called the "lifeline of Mumbai"—offer an unfiltered, exhilarating glimpse into the daily rhythm of the city.
Duration: 30 mins
14. Bandra Fort
Scene 3: BOM BAHIA
Part 1:
Leaving behind the chaotic charm of South Mumbai, we head toward Bandra, a neighbourhood that perfectly embodies Mumbai’s cosmopolitan spirit. Known as the Queen of the Suburbs, Bandra is a melting pot where heritage and modernity coexist effortlessly. Once a sleepy fishing village and a Portuguese colony, it has now evolved into one of Mumbai’s trendiest districts, where Bollywood celebrities, artists, and entrepreneurs mingle in its stylish cafés and boutiques.
Our first stop is a quick auto-rickshaw ride away to Bandra Fort, a hidden gem overlooking the Arabian Sea. Originally built by the Portuguese in 1640 to guard against invasions, the fort now serves as a picturesque escape from the city’s chaos.
Duration: 20 mins
15. St. Andrew's Church
Part 2:
Our next stop is Hill Road, a vibrant stretch known for its eclectic mix of high-street fashion, bustling local markets, and quirky street stalls.
Wandering away from the commercial streets, we step into the old Portuguese quarters of Bandra, a stark contrast to the urban sprawl just minutes away. Here, charming East Indian cottages with red-tiled roofs and colorful facades sit tucked between trendy cafes and art studios. The narrow lanes, adorned with graffiti murals and street art, tell the stories of Mumbai’s past while celebrating its artistic present.
One of the highlights of this area is a historic church that predates even the Taj Mahal. Built in 1575, this magnificent structure stands as a testament to Mumbai’s Portuguese heritage.
Duration: 40 mins
16. Bandra East
Part 3:
Now, it's time to step into a completely different side of Mumbai—the slums, where resilience and resourcefulness shape daily life. In Bandra, the contrast is striking: on one side, upscale neighborhoods with luxurious homes and trendy cafés, and on the other, a vibrant working-class community where life thrives in the face of challenges.
Duration: 15 mins
17. Dadar West
Scene 4: AAMCHI (OUR) MUMBAI
Our final journey takes us on a local train to Dadar, Mumbai’s Marathi cultural hub. As we step into the city’s busiest station, the energy is electric. A shared cab whisks you past a bustling kabutarkhana, where pigeons gather in a mesmerizing dance, before arriving at Mumbai’s most famous Vada Pav stall. This beloved street snack—spicy, crispy, and bursting with flavor—is the perfect way to savour the city’s essence.
A short walk leads us to the serene Dadar Beach, where the waves tell stories of Mumbai’s past and present. As the sun sets over the Arabian Sea, our journey through the Symphony of Seven Islands comes full circle, leaving you with an unforgettable connection to this ever-evolving city.
