You can either grab a map and walk around the city, exploring bits and stopping for food, or you can be a part of a heritage walk that will show you everything you’d want to see.
Head to Mani Bhavan, a large brown and white mansion that pays homage to Mahatma Gandhi. The ground and first floors are massive libraries containing books that were owned and read by him as well as relevant tomes that the museum has collected over time. The first floor houses copies of correspondence between Gandhi and personalities such as President Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler, pages from his journals, and front-page newspaper clippings from the time of his assassination.

For The Soul In Need Of Pampering
If you've both had a rough week, and are in need of some serious rest and recreation, there's nothing better than a spa day to soothe the senses and unknot those muscles. Quan Spa at the JW Marriott offers a 180-minute couple's retreat called the Couple's Haven. This retreat promises to pamper you and your partner by soaking in a relaxing bath ritual, a bespoke skin polish, a calming aromatherapy massage, and a deep cleansing facial.

For The Nature Lovers
Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) or Borivali National Park is like New York City’s Central Park for Mumbai, except it’s not really in the centre (it’s a suburban gold mine), but it works the same way—it provides Mumbai the green space. We'd say enjoy nature at its best in the middle of the concrete jungle by planning a day trip to Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Go cycling, enjoy a lion safari, or go for a romantic boat ride. Well, to make your date special, there is a cute and cosy pine hut where you can set up a romantic candlelight dinner. Or make it royal and historic by taking a walk in the Kanheri caves.
Timings: 9 AM to 6 PM
Entry Fee: INR 58 for adults and INR 31 for children

Well, we've found an amazing date spot revolves around lots of books, cosy corners and lots of coffee. Head to the Leaping Windows in Versova to spend some quality time together. Love comics?
