About Mumbai

Mumbai ist Indiens rastlose, glamouröse Megastadt am Arabischen Meer, mit Kolonialbauten, Uferpromenaden, Filmstudios und Streetfood.

Das Gateway of India blickt auf den Hafen neben dem prächtigen Hotel Taj Mahal Palace, und die Straßen von Colaba füllen sich mit Cafés und Märkten. Der neugotische Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, UNESCO-Welterbe, und die viktorianischen und Art-déco-Bauten rund um den Oval Maidan zeigen den architektonischen Ehrgeiz der Stadt.
