Attractions

Gateway of India is foremost tourist attraction in colaba. Then Hotel Taj opposite to Gate way of India and Prince of Walse Museum and navy nagar - a military cantonement area. Down the colaba road there is Afghan church made up of white stone.
shopping

For shopping there are so many options from street market to branded names. But I want to specially mention colaba causeway for shopping on street. It is one of famous street market of Mumbai. Starting from back of Hotel Taj it is stretch to almost 1-1.5 km of road. Street vendors sell variety of goods ranging from cloths, antique items, leather items and many more. It is of cheaper rate market with huge variety and sometimes vendor talking in English to attract foreign tourist.
food

Restaurants are adjacent to this street market. They serve almost all variety dishes of each corner of world from Thai to mexican to chinese and many more.
