Gateway of India

Gateway of India is Mumbai's most iconic landmark — a magnificent 26-metre Indo-Saracenic arch on the Apollo Bunder waterfront, built to commemorate King George V's 1911 visit. It was also the departure point for the last British troops leaving independent India in 1948. The most visited Mumbai sightseeing attraction; ferries to Elephanta Caves depart from the adjacent jetty. Spectacular at sunset. Free entry; the waterfront promenade is lively day and night.
