The Gateway of India was a rather "touristy" place but nice to see. There was not a lot to do here so no more than an hour is needed at the actual Gateway of India. You can take a ferry to the Elephanta Caves (must get there early afternoon to get last ferry. The ferry ride was beautiful and the caves were nice. There is some shopping ...
The Gateway of India captures many parts of the multifaceted life that is Mumbai. It's a clash of traditional Konkani fishermen, tourists, the wealthy elite of the city (the Taj Mahal hotel is nearby) the sharp tang of salt air. A MUST SEE while you are in Mumbai.

The Gateway of Indian should be respoected for its architectural design and for its historci representation of Bombay's colourful history. You can visit this place anytime during the year, while shopping in down town mumbai.

Gateway: Pro or Con
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/05
When I went in 1999, the Gateway of India, seemed like a monument that existed. i was so bored and felt like sleeping. Thanks to a special march that went on that day, it was a memorable experience. there is a taj hotel and many good restaurants to eat it. enjoy.
