Colaba Causeway, Mumbai Overview
One of the most exciting and eclectic places to visit in Mumbai is the Colaba Causeway, famous for being a shopper's paradise. Iconic at best, ask any Mumbaikar and they will tell you that the Causeway is pretty much the heart of Mumbai. Resurgent, even after the terror attack, this shopping street stood up on its feet in no time. Apart from gorgeous clothes and accessories, especially earrings, you can also find great bargains on home decor stuff such as lampshades, curios and antiques. If designer stuff is your calling, there are a number of options for that as well. If you do feel like catching a bite and a beer, there are a number of restaurants that offer great food and booze at very affordable prices and Cafe Leopold and Cafe Mondegar are pretty much the best!
Colaba Causeway acts as the land link between Colaba and the Old Woman's Island. It lies close to the Fort area which is a business sector and the heart of the city since the British era. From roadside vendors to glamorous boutiques, the street sells everything you can think of buying – in different quality and prices. Catch the old world movies charm at Regal Cinema. Behind Regal Cinema, the Causeway leads you to the Gateway of India overlooking the Arabian Sea. Here, the majestic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel dominates the city's skyline. Colaba Causeway is the heart of Mumbai and it's the liveliest you will ever see the city!

History of Colaba Causeway
The Colaba Causeway was built by the British East India Company connecting the last two remaining islands of the seven which were yet to be connected with the mainland. The construction of the Colaba Causeway was completed in 1838 under the command of Sir Robert Grant, yet another governor of the city. It was later modified and widened in 1861 and then again in 1863. In 1873, Stearns and Kitteredge introduced horse-drawn tram-cars were introduced to ferry people across.
Tips For Visiting Colaba Causeway
- Do not give in to first-time prices with the hawkers. Dig in deeper because the roadside stalls have a brilliant and diverse stock, but do not forget to bargain. Half of the originally quoted price will typically be the selling price.
- Also, carry cash because the temporary shops will not accept any plastic money.
