• St. Andrew’s Church - St. Andrew’s Church is among the oldest churches in Mumbai, originally constructed by Portuguese Jesuits in 1575. Situated on the seashore of the Bandra suburb, it was the sole church in the area until the early 17th century.
• Ranwar - Ranwar is the original of the 24 pakhadis, or villages, that comprised Bandra. When the British acquired Bombay from the Portuguese in 1661, they did not immediately gain control.
• Chimbai Village - Unlike its prosperous counterpart Ranwar, this village lacks the development and artistic flair that Bandra is renowned for. Despite its proximity to Bandstand with its luxurious bungalows and high-rise buildings, this village remains neglected. The Koli community (Chimbaikars), some of the original inhabitants of Bandra or Mumbai, can still be found here.
• Mount Carmel Church - The Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount, commonly referred to as Mount Mary Church, is a Roman Catholic Basilica in Bandra, Mumbai. The feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated here on the first Sunday following 8 September, the birthday of the Virgin Mary.
• Bandstand Promenade - Nestled at the tip of Bandra West are the remnants of a 17th-century fort built by the Portuguese as a watchtower. It was strategically positioned to oversee Mahim Bay and now offers a superb viewpoint for observing the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link bridge.
• Bandra Fort - Castella de Aguada, also known as Bandra Fort, is located in Bandra, Mumbai. “Castella” is a misspelling of the Portuguese “Castelo,” though it appears its Portuguese builders actually named it Forte de Bandorá. It is situated at Land’s End in Bandra.
