Chabad Nariman House, at the site of the 26/11 attacks, is home to the one-of-a-kind Jewish tour of tolerance and hope. Through visceral footage and displays, visitors witness the heart-wrenching story of the Murder of Rabbi and Mrs Holtzberg, the founders of the centre. The visitor faces the stark reality of modern-day terror and is challenged to assume personal responsibility for positive change. The centre is the vibrant heart of the Jewish community of Mumbai and provides support for tourists and backpackers. At the premises is a kosher restaurant, a coffee corner with Wi-Fi, a library and a synagogue.
The Nariman House, designated as a Chabad house, is a five-storey landmark in the Colaba area of South Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The building was home to a Chabad house, a Hasidic Jewish outreach centre run by Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, who had owned the building since around 2006. The centre had an educational center, a synagogue, offered drug prevention services, and a hostel. The building was one of the sites of the 2008 Mumbai attacks and six of its occupants, including Holtzberg and his wife, who was six months pregnant, were killed. Their two-year-old son Moshe Holtzberg survived the attack after being rescued by his Indian nanny, Sandra Samuel.

Cathedral of the Holy Name is the Catholic Cathedral of Mumbai. It is the headquarters of the Archdiocese of Mumbai. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Mumbai. The Mumbai (then Bombay) Catholic Christian life was centred around the Fort Chapel in Medows Street, which was constructed in 1767. At the beginning of the 20th century, the little Chapel was unable to accommodate the large congregation during the Sunday Masses. The foundation stone of the church was laid on 9 July 1902 by the then archbishop Dalhoff and it was opened to the public on 15 January 1905. The church was designed and constructed by W.A. Chambers, an established architect of the firm of Messrs. Gostling, Chambers and Fritchley. The complex consisted of three similar-styled buildings. At the centre was the church, the school on the north side and the residence for the clergy on the south side. On 3 March 1964, it was granted the status of a Cathedral. The cathedral follows the gothic style of architecture, with two towers containing the belfries surmounted by octagonal spires which, like the main roof are covered with Mangalore tiles. The interiors are well laid with ceilings and the walls are covered with frescoes and geometrical designs. The beautifully carved marble altar is surrounded by intricately designed stained glass windows. In 1998 the cathedral received the status of a heritage building.

The landmark gateway was built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India. Built in the Indo-Saracenic style, the foundation stone for the Gateway of India was laid on 31 March 1911. The final design of George Wittet was sanctioned in 1914 and the construction of the monument was completed in 1924. This arch is the most recognisable symbol of the city. The structure is a basalt arch, 26m high, and it lies at the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg at the water's edge in Mumbai Harbour. It was a crude jetty used by the fishing community which was later renovated and used as a landing place for British governors and other prominent people. In earlier times, it would have been the first structure that visitors arriving by boat in Mumbai would have seen. Ferries to Elephanta are available from the Gateway of India.
