Easily the city’s most iconic structure, the Gateway of India is symbolic of Mumbai. Gracing the waterfront of South Mumbai’s Apollo Bunder area, this compelling structure was built during the British Raj to welcome the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary when they visited India in 1911. Today it’s one of Mumbai’s most popular tourist spots, thronged by click-happy tourists and locals who want to take in unparalleled views of the Arabain Sea. So if you’d like to read with the sea breeze making light of Mumbai’s extreme tropical weather, then park yourself next to this iconic Mumbai monument and you’ll be promised a good time.
