Bandra

One of the city's most prominent suburbs, Bandra is known for its famous residents, the shopping variety, the culinary melange and the cultural vibrancy. Historically, the suburb was a rice plantation, until the 1800s when the construction of a causeway that connected it to Mahim brought in merchants and the elite population. For a tourist, Bandra is one of the best places to be to discover the true spirit of the city. Besides being a popular venue for cultural festivals, Bandra also boasts the architectural marvel Bandra-Worli Sea Link, the Mount Mary Church, the promenades along Carter Road and Hill Road, Bandra-Kurla Commercial Complex and many more sights.
