Open to Sunset on Marine Drive
About A first evening in Mumbai
Meet like-minded people in Mumbai
On your own in Mumbai? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Mumbai is India's most energetic city, where solo travellers can enjoy Bollywood, colonial architecture, Marine Drive at sunset and some of the best street food in the country. The social vibe is fast, friendly and cosmopolitan, with a lively café and bar scene. Travellers gather around Colaba near the Gateway of India and in the trendy suburb of Bandra.
Meeting people in Mumbai: what works
- Stay in Colaba or Bandra, which are walkable and full of cafés, bars and hostels.
- Join a walking tour of the Fort area or a guided visit to Dharavi run by reputable community-based tour companies.
- Watch the sunset on Marine Drive, where locals gather every evening.
- Look for run clubs and weekend meetups, which are popular in Bandra and along Marine Drive.
Stay safe
Use app-based cabs like Uber or Ola, drink bottled or filtered water, and avoid travelling far during heavy monsoon rains from about June to September.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
