You'll often see people going for an evening walk in Mumbai, no doubt to burn off all the snacks they've eaten!

One of the best places to spend the evening is Marine Drive Chowpatty, located at the northern end of the famous stretch that's affectionately referred to as the Queen's Necklace for its sparkling semi circle of lights.

The Chowpatty comes alive with a dazzling assortment of vendors peddling everything from snacks (of course) to strange children's toys. It's a fun place for children, with no shortage of amusement rides to entertain them, but also attracts plenty of lovestruck couples in the mood for a romantic stroll. A quintessential Mumbai experience that's not to be missed!
