The posh area is located in south mumbai which has some nice tourist attractions and famous eating joints around. Costlier to stay in hotels at this area but the area is lively all through the day and late in the night as well. This place also holds movie hall, petrol pumps, branded shops for almost all articles that one may wish to shop. Nice place to spend evenings... for watching movies, taking a stroll, window shopping, being at the iconic attraction Gateway of India, drinks, food etc.

Mahatma Gandhi once lived in this simple, two-story building, which is now a museum, library and research center depicting Gandhi's life and struggles for Indian freedom through peaceful means.

Mani Bhavan was where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1934, and it was the focal point of his political activities. It is now the most fascinating museum, containing many of his books and papers, and in which his very simple bedroom with spinning wheel, has been preserved just as he left it. One can stand on the very spot on his balcony where he addressed the crowds. Not to be mossed if you are visiting Mumbai

Bordering the Arabian Sea, this famous road is a popular spot for watching sunsets, and is gorgeous when lit up at night.
Reviewed By Inakshisobti - Mumbai, India
A drive on Marine Drive in the evening affords great night vistas of Mumbai's skyline dotted with lights.. the walkway that adjoins the Sea makes for a pleasant walk and faces the Arabian Sea on one end and a line of Art Deco heritage buildings ( some in need of repair) on the opposite side... although a busy road, Marine Drive or the Queens necklace as it is referred to on account of its natural curve and string of pearl overhead lights is an integral icon of Mumbai.

Let me tell you the history I grew up in this area it’s called south mumbai little elitist neighborhood :) this area where they made a park was a dump when I was growing up but they have made a amazing park out if this area ... I was very skeptical about maintenance of this park but kiddos they have done a great job .as in any concrete city there’s limited accessibility to green zones and open area for kids .Its basically your neighborhood park people come sit make group ,walk ,kids play without any traffic interference and working people come and chill and escape there everyday life troubles.we don’t have that great gyms around so this is the best place to join the gym walk on track or just chill and people watch .its a great place for senior citizens as they all come after there household chores sit and gossip and laugh :)) when I go I just sit there and watch people:) if you are in neighborhood then go check it out but it’s just a local park .My opinion :)If you are far from it then don’t bother in this traffic :)

We went in April 2019, and accidentally and coincidentally matched the timing with the last horse race and the dummy horse race..(don't remember exactly what was it called). My kids loved to see the horses with jockeys. We all had fun to see the live race on the lush green lawns. The excitement in this place was contiguous and we cheered for the winner. Had a great time. I gathered that the race starts in Oct-Nov and ended around mid April. There is a section open for general public for morning and evening walks too.
