Market Places

Bargainer's Paradise

The Colaba Causeway: The entire market is spread over the footpath. It specially caters to the needs of foreign visitors. Here one can get just about anything from oriental ethnic art-pieces to Indian and western clothes with a fine fusion of western and oriental styles. It is advisable to negotiate the price quoted by the shopkeeper before purchasing a product.



The Bandra Linking Road: It is another destination where the market sprawls on the footpath. A visit to this place will make you conscious of the latest, newest trends in outfits, shoes and sandals, ladies purses to big sophisticated bags at amazingly cheap prices. The college goers are the main customers of this market. There are plenty of provisions to haggle the quoted prices down to a good deal. If all the shopping’s made you hungry, then there are quite a few eating outlets and joints that cater mainly to fast food nearby. Linking Road is also laced with the swankiest stores selling expensive branded stuff, but you have to keep walking along to be able to reach them.

The Fashion Street: This extremely popular shopping retreat is situated near the Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus (VT) railway station. As the name suggests, this market is teeming with retail outlets that give away the hippest, latest deals at throwaway prices. The main customers are college students and teenagers. The price of the product varies in peak hours. A customer could pay a high price in the day session for a product, while the same product one can get at half the price in the evening between eight and ten. Here, bargaining is the sole option of setting a deal.
