About Bombay

Mumbai, irrequieta e glamour megalopoli indiana sul Mar Arabico: monumenti coloniali, lungomari, studi cinematografici e cibo di strada.

Il Gateway of India si affaccia sul porto accanto al grandioso hotel Taj Mahal Palace, e le strade di Colaba si riempiono di caffè e mercati. Il Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, in stile neogotico e Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO, e gli edifici vittoriani e Art Déco attorno all'Oval Maidan mostrano l'ambizione architettonica della città.
