Mumbai tourism has always managed
to attract people from far and wide.
Tourism in Mumbai reveals many tourist
attractions - the most famous being
the gateway to India, which is also
considered as the major turning
point in Mumbai. It was built to
commemorate the royal visit of George
V and Queen Mary in 1911. The construction
was completed in 1924. The Gateway
of India is an analogous to Mumbai,
as the Statue of Liberty in New
York.
As your trip within Mumbai progresses,
the next step could be the Prince
of Wales Museum, whose building
was constructed on the basis of
Indo-Saracenic style of architecture.
This museum houses paintings and
art, archaeology and natural history.
Another feast for art lovers is
the Jehangir Art Gallery, which
includes an auditorium and an exhibition
hall. Many exhibitions and various
other art-related installations
are taking place here and indirectly
promoting tourism in Mumbai.
Another place to visit if you are
on a visit to Mumbai east is Victoria
Terminus, which follows the style
of Italian Gothic architecture.
It holds an important place in the
history of India because that is
where the first steam engine from
Mumbai to Thane was reported way
back in 1853.
Strengthening Mumbai tourism are
the Nehru Planetarium and the Nehru
Science Center located in Worli
which are the other attractions
that people love to visit. These
places demand your full attention
and are an attempt to solve many
mysteries in Science.
In addition, there are temples and
mosques for devotees who would not
want to miss. One of the oldest
temples in Mumbai, Mahalaxmi temple,
near the Malabar Hills and the tomb
of Haji Ali are two such places
of devotion to develop tourism in
Mumbai.
