About Mumbai

Mumbai er Indiens rastløse, glamourøse megaby ved Det Arabiske Hav, en by af koloniale vartegn, strandpromenader, filmstudier og gademad.

Gateway of India vender mod havnen ved siden af det statelige Taj Mahal Palace-hotel, og gaderne i Colaba fyldes med caféer og markeder. Den nygotiske Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, et UNESCO-verdensarvssted, og de victorianske og art deco-bygninger omkring Oval Maidan viser byens arkitektoniske ambition.
