Why go
Go for the direct meeting of architecture and harbour: the arch frames an arrival point that once faced visitors approaching Bombay by sea. From the waterfront, you can read its form against the open water and make it a natural starting point for nearby South Mumbai sights.
What to look for
- The basalt arch rises above the Apollo Bunder waterfront.
- Its central dome and patterned screens add detail beyond the broad silhouette.
Useful to know
- Allow time to view the arch from the waterfront as well as up close.
- Plan for sun or rain on the exposed seafront.
