Reviews
A connoiseur, Kapil Vijan : - "1 thing I am sure of CST station image is the one which has been shown the maximum number of the times in Bollywood movies. Whenever someone is shown to have arrived in Mumbai, CST is the one which is shown. For a 1st timer it doesn't look like a railway station rather more of a historical monument."
An explorer,Yoginder Gulaiya: " Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a best railway station in Mumbai. Best in beauty as well as neat and clean building of the terminus is a pride of Mumbai. Many movies display this railway station.
Extra
After admiring the station a few things that can be done are: -
1) Fashion Street: - A street known for shopoholics with 385 stall lined on the road.
2) Crawford Market: - A shopping landmark since 1869, known for international chocolates, homemade cheese, fruits and clothes.
3) Canon Pav Bhaji: - The restuarant make only Pav ( Bread ) and bhaji ( smashed vegetables ), the most famous cuisine of Mumbai. It is the best place you can ever eat. Not eating this is like... going to Begium but not trying waffles.
