Activities

Rajabai Clock Tower - Modeled on Giotto's campanile in Florence, the sculpted figures decorating the exterior walls were designed to represent the castes of India. Originally, the chimes even played Rule Britannia. The clock tower stands in front of the Victoria Museum. The Victoria Gardens and Museum - This two-story Palladian building is an unusual sight in a city dominated by Victorian-Gothic architecture. The museum, completed in 1872, houses an interesting display about the history of Mumbai. Next door are the Victoria Gardens.

Shopping

Mumbai is India's great marketplace and often considered as the best shopping in the country. As India's fashion center, textiles are especially good buys. Shopping opportunities are found next to the Taj Mahal Hotel, in the arcade at the Oberoi Hotel and along the Colaba Causeway. General store hours are 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Most shops are closed on Sundays.

Currency

The Indian Rupee is the local currency used here.
