About

The best way to describe Mumbai’s architecture is a mish mash of multiple styles. There is no single unique style that can define the architecture of Mumbai. Different parts of the city were designed in different generations thus resulting in a lot of trial and error in finding Mumbai’s true style. In this mistake the British also gave to us one of our most unique features. A single area that boasts of a variety of styles all within a square mile.

Mumbai is an architectural enthusiast’s favourite playground. With as many as 7 different styles this tour showcases some of the most magnificent monuments of this city. Start the tour in the Town Hall region and explore the beautiful neo classical structure from a different angle. Also visit hallmark monuments like the Victoria Terminus and Flora Fountain to name a few. Mumbai is home also to the very unique Indo-Saracenic style of architecture and was also a part of the Art Deco boom of the 1930’s. This tour is a must do for people who want a better understanding of how a city’s design is linked to its history and for those who just love architectural masterpieces.
