we have visited to Gate way of India few days back, View was wonderful we took boat to see Gateway of India from the boat. so how we get here. firstly we reached at Dadar Railway station take cab through Indiacab.taxi the experience was the best with them we will always recommends to take cab from them they provide service all over India. the driver Suresh was very helpful and kind. he shows all the places in mumbai

It is iconic and you must see it but in all honesty, it didn't WOW me. There seems to be permanent renovations going on around the structure which obstructs a lot of it. The area is very busy and crowded so keep bags safe. Walk around it, take it in, take your photographs and then go. When you enter, if you have large bags or a camera, you need to go through security or otherwise you can just go straight in. We went around noon on a Saturday afternoon when it was very busy and hot. The roads around it are chaotic and noisy! What you can see from there, is lovely views of the heritage hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace. This to me, was more stunning and I loved the architecture!

Majority of Mumbai visits are one day visits & exclusively for office work or to catch international flights But whenever we get time, I do not miss Gateway of India. It’s always wonderful to see this monument. Will come again!

This imposing triumphal arch was built to commemorate the visit of King George V when India was still part of the British Empire. The monument looks like a European style triumphal arch to an Indo-Islamic design, especially the North Indian style of stone lattice windows and Pre-Mughal brackets, fort gates and towers. Also looks amazing like up at night.

Stayed in Churchgate area at Sea Green hotel for two nights. Good location for Gateway of India and getting to Elephanta Island. 25 minswalk to the CSMT train station from hotel. There is always a taxi available. Please note the constant noise of car horns beeping. Mumbai is a very noisy city. As a mature female solo traveller I felt safe.

Its a nice place to visit in evening. Light show is running on monument at around 7:30 PM daily. Its quite good and share the history. With lights both Taj hotel and Gateway of India looks great.

One of the places we wanted to see on our recent trip, well worth the effort. Although my wife became one of the attractions as people wanted to take a picture with her ( this does happen a lot in some parts of India!!) 😊 it was quite busy with the ubiquitous soundtrack of vehicle horns blaring incessantly.

It gets very hot during the daytime in summers as the Indian summer of Mumbai is unbearable. Evening is very pleasant with the cold winds coming off the sea. It's an old monument and has a barricaded entry for the area around the monument itself. The entry to the monument is restricted though.

The Gateway of India, a majestic landmark in Mumbai, attracts visitors with its historical charm, but the experience is tempered by the weekend crowds. The bustling atmosphere, coupled with ongoing construction, can diminish the tranquility of the visit. Despite this, the option to embark on boat rides to the Elephanta Caves adds an adventurous touch, offering a blend of history and exploration for those willing to navigate through the lively surroundings.

Spent a couple of hours here , the Monument is quite spectacular and at times quite overpowering and emotional. We watched the boats coming in and out of the harbour as well as people watching . It is free to enter, but you are constantly pestered by hawkers wanting to take your photo and the surrounding area is very unpleasant and the only time we felt uncomfortable during our stay in Mumbai. However well worth a visit.
