From Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) to Taj Mahal Palace, Colaba

Mumbai’s international and domestic flights primarily operate through Terminal 2, which is well connected to South Mumbai

1. 🚕 Taxi / App-Based Cab (Recommended)

Taxis and app-based cabs are the most direct and convenient option

  • Available 24 hours from airport arrival areas
  • Travel time: approximately 45–75 minutes, depending on traffic
  • Estimated fare: ₹800 – ₹1,200

Prepaid taxis are available at the airport. Ride-hailing services such as Uber and Ola are also widely used

2. 🚇 Metro + Taxi

Mumbai’s Metro system provides fast connectivity within the city but does not directly reach Colaba

  • Take the Metro from airport-connected stations toward central Mumbai
  • Use a taxi for the final leg to Colaba

This option is economical but less convenient for visitors carrying luggage

3. 🚌 Bus

Mumbai has an extensive public bus network

  • Cost-effective option
  • Routes can be complex for visitors
  • Not recommended for first-time international delegates

4. 🏨 Hotel Transfers

The Taj Mahal Palace offers chauffeur-driven airport transfers upon prior arrangement, ensuring a smooth and comfortable arrival
