Things to do in Colaba

Colaba is the southern tip of the island city, built around the Gateway of India, completed in 1924, and the Taj Mahal Palace hotel beside it. Colaba Causeway's street stalls, old cafés and bars make it one of Mumbai's most walked stretches; the lanes behind hold contemporary art galleries with free exhibitions. Ferries to the Elephanta Caves leave from the Gateway jetty, and Sassoon Dock, an old fish dock, is busiest at dawn. Colaba has no suburban station. Churchgate and CSMT are a short taxi or bus ride away, and the Aqua Line's Cuffe Parade terminus serves the Cuffe Parade and World Trade Centre side.
