Visitors if you are in Mumbai, please don't miss the opportunities to visit following great places within the Mumbai region:

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (Prince of Wales Museum): Mumbai's biggest and best museum is a fascinating mishmash of Islamic, Hindu and British architecture displaying a mixed bag of dusty exhibits from all over India. This museum has opened in 1923. Its aureate Indo-Saracenic style was designed by George Wittet - who also did the Gateway of India.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus): Distinguished, high-spirited and flooded with people, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus) is the city's most spendthrift black letter building, the beating heart of its railway network, and an apothegm for compound India.
Chowpatty Beach: Chowpatty is still a best-loved point for anyone out to enjoy what passes for fresh air. Get the full experience by sauntering through the many beach side stalls for some bhelpuri or a head massage. The water is not the cleanest but the beach is litter-free, maintained the security with carrying out a control by lifeguards and fired up at night. Visiting Chowpatty in the evening is an all-important part of any trip to Mumbai. The spotlight of every year at Chowpatty is Ganesh Chaturthi (August/September), when immense crews assemble to watch images of the elephant-headed god of good fortune, Ganesh, trooped through the city streets and swallowed in the sea.
Colaba: It is an informal central office of Mumbai's tourist panorama., It's a hustling district packed with street stalls, markets, bars and budget to midrange lodgings. Colaba road with cobblestones analyzes the foreland and is the traffic-filled artery connecting Colaba's jumble of side streets and gently breaking down residences.
