South Bombay is a totally different time in its own. From colonial buildings to iconic eateries and of course the beautiful sea, its an experience one never forgets.

Just as you make your way out the crowded CSMT, this iconic BMC building forms your view

What you have just come out of , along with the people equal to the population of some country elsewhere in the world, is this Gothic style building. What makes this building alive today is not only its architecture, but the flocks of people and the red BEST buses alongside.

In the kalaghoda area of fort, which also hosts the very famous yearly Kalaghoda Art Fest, are some vintage buildings, museums and art galleries. On any day you are sure to witness some great art and exhibitions, but dont forget to checkout the local artists that occupy the streetside in this area. FYI - you can pick up some great postcards, bookmarks, pictures and a lot of other stuff from them.

Standing just outside the architecturally rich CSMT, look around to take some other beautiful buildings that form your panoramic view.

Traveling in the iconic kali peeli taxis - the vintage premium padminis, with the radio set in the background and the beautiful buildings is an experience one should never miss out while in south bomaby.
