From Crawford Market to the Gateway

Why go

This walk suits a first visit focused on streets and landmarks rather than long indoor stops. Crawford Market gives the route a lively starting point and a close look at its historic hall. Hutatma Chowk marks the shift into Fort, where Rajabai Tower brings the Gothic skyline into view. The Gateway of India then makes a clear waterfront finish. Allow time to browse the market without letting it consume the day. The tower is an exterior stop, so there is no need to plan around an unverified interior visit. The four stops are close enough to keep the progression on foot.
