[{"address":"Gateway Of India Mumbai","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":18.922711306328228,"longitude":72.83426779999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Gateway Of India Mumbai"},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fsynthesized_audio.mp3?alt=media&token=8767c06b-3a18-42e0-9c96-2a1fb7f70097"},{"type":"text","content":"We will start this tour with Gateway Of India Mumbai. Believe it or not, this iconic landmark is one of the most tourist spots in the city, attracts millions of visitors each year. Standing here at the foot of this magnificent structure, have you ever wondered what it's like to stand in the footstep of history? The Gateway of India was built in 1924 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai, and it served as the entrance point for British viceroys and governors. But did you know that the structure was not originally intended to be a permanent one? In fact, it was initially built as a temporary structure made of wood and plaster for the royal visit and was later reconstructed in basalt stone. As you look around, you will see the Arabian Sea stretching out before you. The Gateway of India is the perfect spot to take in the stunning views and snap some memorable photos. You can also take a ferry ride from here to the nearby Elephanta Caves. One tip for sightseeing at the Gateway of India would be to visit early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the crowds. There is no admission fee to see the structure, but if you want to take a ferry ride, there is a small fee. Before we move on to our next stop, feel free to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this iconic landmark and soak in the historical significance of the Gateway of India."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fing_19075_06114.webp?alt=media&token=7c3cd67e-35a7-4f61-b46c-3b63d222621f"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2FGateway-to-India_0.jpg?alt=media&token=33ae0fda-a5ae-4dce-a240-8c4c46bb38ea"},{"type":"link","content":"https://mumbaicity.gov.in/tourist-place/gateway-of-india/"}]},{"address":"Colaba Causeway Market","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":18.917186505442388,"longitude":72.82860209999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"#Colaba Causeway Market"},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(4).mp3?alt=media&token=a9adea7d-452c-45e5-8553-c3e09068ab26"},{"type":"text","content":"Next, we will explore Colaba Causeway Market. If you're looking for a vibrant and relevant marketplace that offers a diverse array of goods and a unique shopping experience, you've come to the right place. But did you know that Colaba Causeway Market is not just any other market? It has an interesting history behind it.\n\nThis market was built in the early 1900s, during British rule in India, to cater to the needs of the British stationed in Mumbai. Over time, the market evolved and started offering a variety of goods to everyone. Today, it's a go-to destination for locals and tourists alike.\n\nAs we explore the market, keep an eye out for the special stalls that sell unique products that you won't find anywhere else in Mumbai. One of the stalls that I recommend visiting is the antique shop. Here, you'll find an eclectic collection of vintage and antique items, from trinkets to furniture. The owner is a knowledgeable collector and can share some interesting stories about the origins of the items on display.\n\nRemember to haggle with the vendors, as bargaining is a part of the experience here. But be respectful and fair, and remember that the vendors rely on these sales for their livelihoods.\n\nSo let's start exploring Colaba Causeway Market and discover its hidden gems together!"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fcolaba-causeway.jpg?alt=media&token=b9e56fa0-d4df-46ae-b54c-c3fc730d6cf1"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2FMarkets-in-Mumbai1.jpeg?alt=media&token=55d41dc9-6d42-4a0e-8386-d00b90a87ea6"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fimage.jpg?alt=media&token=30e6f085-754e-4e1c-8717-6f47297c84c9"}]},{"address":"Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Area","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":18.9436575144792,"longitude":72.83491701027397},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Area"},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(1).mp3?alt=media&token=0db3ec88-1136-4cf6-902c-088a9e108611"},{"type":"text","content":"Next, we will visit Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Did you know that this magnificent building was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004? It is one of the busiest railway stations in India and an iconic landmark of Mumbai. As you look around, you will see a magnificent Victorian-Gothic style building. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus, was built in 1887 to formerly commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. This building has seen Mumbai's growth and transformation over the past century, and it still stands tall as a testament to the city's rich history. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a hub for local and long-distance trains, connecting Mumbai to various parts of India. But what makes this structure unique is its beautiful architecture. The building is adorned with beautiful carvings, sculptures, and stained glass windows, showcasing the blend of Victorian, Indian, and Gothic architecture. There is no admission fee to enter the station, but if you wish to take a tour, there is a small fee.

The promenade is named the Queen's Necklace because it looks like a string of pearls at night when the street lights are lit. The view of the sunset over the sea from Marine Drive is a breathtaking sight that you won't want to miss.\n\nAs we walk along the promenade, you'll notice the beautiful Art Deco buildings on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be at a place that is visited by millions of pilgrims every year?

Did you know that the haji ali dargah is located on a small island off the coast of Mumbai, and is accessible only during low tide through a narrow causeway? The shrine is dedicated to the memory of the Muslim saint Haji Ali who is believed to have miraculously disappeared in the Arabian sea while on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The dargah is a magnificent example of Indo-Islamic architecture and is adorned with exquisite marble and intricate floral patterns. You can hear the devotional music and prayers that echo through the complex and feel the positive energy that surrounds it. As you take in the beauty of this place, remember to be respectful of the customs and traditions of the locals."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fimages_1542975374036_1495826963_1495826959435.jpg?alt=media&token=f2b2dd89-528f-4d94-90fa-5348c8094d3d"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Fb-haji-ali-dargah.jpg?alt=media&token=8fa12cb5-6158-4a5c-b5b9-16df7b7d4eff"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2Ft%E1%BA%A3i%20xu%E1%BB%91ng.jpg?alt=media&token=1bb21fca-214e-47a5-bf07-10c95d4b7101"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnWWdFYZMTnAOvxUkQfe7%2FBurgundy%20Red%20Gold%20Modern%20Valentine's%20Day%20Sale%20Poster%20(6).png?alt=media&token=aa33795c-d3c1-47e5-aab1-f3a64ee9c179"}]}]
