Colaba is a part of Mumbai where will find not just a lot of historic landmarks but the buildings around the landmarks will take you into a trip to the British Empire, now clashing with the post colonial era buildings and the more modern and contemporary life of Mumbai
Every time I enter Colaba, I always go to causeway and I come out of there purchasing some or the other thing always. Love the place and the variety of shopping
Colaba is Oldest Area of Mumbai when city was called Bombay. The famous Gate Way of India, Hotel Taj (Both) and many well known places are here. There are also so many hotels on Sea facing in Colaba. Late night food are always available. Glad to visit
My favorite place in Bombay to be along with your friends. Best time being the evenings. Any Traveller who wishes to feel the culture of Bombay and not Mumbai should get up here, grab a beer and make some friends as the night wears on. This place definetely paints the true picture, be it the Gateway of India, or the Taj Palace and Oberoi, Or the Cafe Mondegars and the Leopolds, or the street shopping. This place will keep to captivated.
very nice place to hang out in mumbai, has most of the famous restaurant like delhi darbar etc. nice night life
The island was previously known as Candil. The Portuguese had acquired these lands from the Sultanate of Cambay by the Treaty of Bassein
the gateway of india and taj mahal hotel the tourist attraction plus loads and loads of shopping places around colaba.
You should know bargaining in order to be able to do some good shopping here.. the shopkeepers quote high prices knowing you are a tourist. otherwise really up-to-date modern clothes, accessories and vintage antique stuff.. scout for mementoes to take home.
This place is one of my favourite places in Mumbai. It has a wonderful sea view, Gateway of India, Royal Taj Palace Hotel, nice pubs (Leopold, Cafe Mondegar, etc). The streets are buzzing all through the night. It also has late night eats like Bade Miyan. Wonderful place and a must visit for any1 visiting Mumbai
Colaba has got a very interesting array of shops on the Causeway, enjoy bargaining at he streetside shops for clothes,intricate jewellery, trinkets etc.There are historical buildings, restaurants, and a feel of the old and new blended in.
