Santacruz Shopping Guide by WeddingBazaar

How To Reach Santacruz

Santacruz or Santa Cruz is a prominent neighbourhood located in the Mumbai Suburban district. It is bordered by Juhu and Vile Parle to the north and Khar and Bandra to the south. The Santacruz railway station on the Mumbai Suburban Railway, the domestic terminal (T1) of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, and one campus of the University of Mumbai, are all located in Santacruz (East).

It is broadly divided into two areas: Santa Cruz (East) and Santa Cruz (West) by the Mumbai Suburban Railway line. To reach Santacruz via local train, you can get down at the Santacruz Railway Station on the Western Line.

If you live near the area, then travelling via bus or cab is also a great option! The Milan Subway and Khar Subway connect the two areas, passing under the rail line. Recently Milan flyover has been built which has improved connectivity between Santacruz East and West. The Western express highway passes through Santacruz East. Because of its unique geography and connectivity, Santacruz is one of the prime locations in Mumbai.
