The Gateway of India
A yellow basalt arch of triumph officially 'opened' in 1924. It was redundant just 24 years later and now stands on the wonderfully named Apollo Bunder. It's a photo op few miss – but mostly the area is populated with a motley crowd of touts, balloon sellers, postcard vendors and snake charmers who turn it into a wondrous bazaar.

Marine Drive
