Advantages: Classic Tourist Site
Disadvantages: A lot of beggars and hawkers

If you are staying in the area, drop by and have a look, take some photos and soak up the atmosphere. If you are feeling flush and can deal with the juxtaposition of filfth and finery, posh and poverty, then drop into the Taj Hotel and get an expensive afternoon tea and look at the Arch out of the windows or take a stroll up the road to the government craft emporium. But if you aren't staying nearby, would you sit in a taxi for an hour and a half ...
...by the airport) just to get there - probably not. The India Gate in Delhi - similar style, another one you can happily snap out the window of your coach. Call me a philistine but there's a touch of 'Arc de Triomph' about the lot of them. As India's great attractions go, this is one I can take or leave. There's such a lot that you really MUST see and the Gate of India is no Taj Mahal - in this case, I mean the eternal monument to love and not the ... Read review

Advantages: Great historic site to see
Disadvantages: To many people there at a time

The Gateway of India is a fabulous site to see. When I was there I was able to walk all the way around the gateway but on previous visits I have only looked though the car because there are crowds of people if go at the wrong times. When I went I was able to look around the long sea front with out any hassle or trouble.
