Colaba Causeway
Best time to visit
Early mornings on weekdays avoid the biggest crowds and the midday heat. Late afternoons and evenings are lively with more stalls and street food, good for photos at sunset.
Budget tips
No entry fee; most stalls prefer cash, so carry small notes and coins. Start bargaining at about 30 to 40 percent off and skip branded stores for local handicrafts to save money.

About
Kiired faktid: Markets spill onto the pavement with stalls selling everything from antique maps and Bollywood posters to handcrafted jewelry, and bargaining is part of the fun. Colors, scents and a steady hum of conversation blend with street music and tiny bookshops tucked between clothing racks.
Tipphetked: Neon-lit stalls sometimes reveal true oddities, like a vendor’s handwritten ledger documenting sales and customers since 1964 and a single stall offering more than 300 varieties of scarves. Sip strong chai brewed in waist-high samovars at an old Irani cafe, the steam thick with cardamom and condensed milk so dense you can see spice flecks floating.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and breathable clothing; lanes are crowded and uneven underfoot.
- Bring a small crossbody bag and keep valuables secure, pickpocketing can occur in dense crowds.
- Head toward the eastern seafront near the Gateway of India for better photo angles and a quieter walk.
- Avoid weekends and public holidays if you want fewer crowds, visit early on weekday mornings instead.
