The Queen's Necklace

← Mumbai

A three-kilometre arc of seafront: sunset on the parapet, bhel puri on Chowpatty beach, UNESCO-listed Art Deco facades at your back.

A three-kilometre arc of seafront: tetrapod breakwaters, art-deco facades (the world's second-largest ensemble after Miami) and the whole city out for sunset. At the north end, Chowpatty beach serves bhel puri and pani puri. You come not to see a sight but to spend an evening the way Mumbai does.
