The Gateway of India is an impressive arch that sits roughly 2.5 kilometers away from Churchgate and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal. Built in 1924, the Gateway of India overlooks the Mumbai Harbor. It serves as a reminder of the power of the British Raj.

It was originally built to commemorate a historic trip that King George V and Queen Mary took to Mumbai. Highly popular among tourists, the 83-foot-tall monument is surrounded by food vendors and souvenir stalls. The Gateway of India is open to visitors at most times of the day all throughout the year.
