Mumbai, India
Mumbai's walking rewards are as dramatic as the city itself. The Colaba district at the southern tip concentrates iconic sights — the Gateway of India, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, and the bustling Colaba Causeway market — within a walkable area. The Fort area preserves the finest collection of Victorian Gothic and Art Deco architecture in Asia, including the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marine Drive, the Queen's Necklace, curves along the Arabian Sea for three kilometers of breezy waterfront walking. Crawford Market is a sensory explosion of fruit, spices, and dried goods under Norman Gothic arches. The Dharavi area, one of Asia's largest informal settlements, runs entrepreneurial workshops and guided walks that reveal a community of astonishing industry and creativity. Bandra, across the Mahim Bay, offers trendy cafes, street art, and the Bandstand promenade.

Mumbai's sidewalks are crowded and uneven — wear sturdy shoes, keep valuables close, and embrace the pace. Local trains are essential for covering longer distances between walking areas.
November through February offers cooler, drier weather. Avoid the monsoon season from June through September, when flooding can make walking difficult.
