Bandra is more than just an upscale suburb of Mumbai. It’s a living, breathing mix of old Portuguese charm, modern street culture, and stunning sea views. But to truly experience it, you need to slow down and explore on foot.
That’s where a Bandra walking tour comes in — the perfect way to connect with the heart of the neighborhood.
In this post, we explain why walking through Bandra with a local guide like IanWalksMumbai offers a deeper, more personal travel experience.
🏛️ A Neighborhood Steeped in History
Bandra was once a sleepy fishing village ruled by the Portuguese. Today, traces of that past are still visible in places like St. Andrew’s Church, Ranwar Village, and the timeless homes in the old gaothans.
As you walk, you’ll learn stories that aren’t in guidebooks — from colonial-era secrets to local traditions passed down through generations.
🎨 Art, Culture & Community
Bandra is Mumbai’s unofficial street art capital. Murals, graffiti, and colorful installations transform its alleyways into outdoor galleries.
Your guide will show you hidden lanes filled with vibrant art and explain the stories behind the brushstrokes. It’s a completely different way to understand the city.
🌊 Stunning Coastal Views
The tour includes quiet moments by the sea — from the Bandra Fort lookout to the Bandstand Promenade, where you can feel the sea breeze and hear the city’s pulse.
Want a Bollywood moment? You’ll even pass Mannat, the home of superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
🧭 Why Choose a Walking Tour?
Unlike buses or cabs, walking lets you notice the details — the smell of street snacks, the texture of old stone walls, the smile of a local shopkeeper.
And with a local like Ian, you don’t just see Bandra. You feel it.
