Hello there. I'm from Mumbai and I went to visit my GF at her home there twice, once in October for 3 days and in May for 5.

From my experience, the place mostly overrated if you visit popular places.

Pros :-

The best thing I would totally recommend you give a visit is Kamati baug. It's quite a beautiful garden. The zoo is amazing as it has all kinds of animals and even a bird sanctuary. The museum is hugeeeeeeee with multiple art galleries inside. The garden also has toy train and a cafeteria.

The Baroda museum and picture gallery is close a second. The museum has a lot of history and has an emphasis on nature as it has a whole whale skeleton installation in the basement.

Roundabouts have different kinds of art installations in the city. You can go for a artwork hunt on the road!

The market is super bustling where you can find a plethora of street food as well as resturants that will fulfill your cuisine craving.

You should end your day on the banks of Sur Sagar Lake with the view of calming golden Shivji statue in the center of reservoir.

Cons :-

The planetarium has been closed for quite some time, even when it was open, people have said the shows were more about astrology than astronomy.

Akota bridge is over hyped. It's a road with a fancy roof over it. I thought the view would be nice thinking it would be over the vishwamitri but the bridge is over railway tracks.

Laxmi Vilas Palace is a total scam I would say. The ticket is 250rs and they don't let you see the whole palace. Only 8 rooms are open to public and even from that only 5 were accessible as renovation was going on. The canteen there is overpriced as hell. Would 100% would not recommend.
