Mumbai - the Financial Capital of India, is a Dream City, not only for those who wish to earn a fortune but also for those who wish to see the Architectural Marvels of the Victorian Era.
The Britishers who ruled India upto 1947 are still praised for a few things that they did for the city, like they built robust bridges, an effective drainage system, a systematic rail network and the ever strong and marvelous buildings made of stone.
Most of these buildings are in the Fort, Ballad Pier, Colaba, VT and Churchgate area. Many of the buildings in the Fort, Flora Fountain, VT and Churchgate areas are now owned by LIfe Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and the two most famous landmarks of Mumbai - The Victoria Terminus building and BMC Headquarters are owned by Indian Railways and Municipal Corporation Of Greater Mumbai.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formely Victoria Terminus and now named after Mahrashtra's greatest warrior king Shivaji) and Churchgate Railway Station are the last of the Railway Stations on the Soutern end of Mumbai. All these heritage buildings are within radius of 5 kms and foreign tourists prefer walking the entire way.
