The best viewpoint for seeing the magnificent facade of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) is from the road and square directly opposite the station, specifically near the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Building in Mumbai.

This perspective allows you to fully appreciate the Victorian Gothic architecture of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Best Viewpoint

The BMC Building (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Headquarters) is located diagonally opposite CSMT and is considered the ideal spot for a panoramic view of the station.

• View Highlights: The view is particularly spectacular after sunset when the CSMT building is illuminated with thousands of lights, making it a favorite spot for photographers and tourists.

• Near the Traffic Island: A specific area often cited for the view is the central traffic island or pedestrian area between the two buildings, sometimes informally referred to as the CST Selphie Point or a similar name.
