About Bombay

Mumbai is de rusteloze, glamoureuze megastad van India aan de Arabische Zee, met koloniale monumenten, strandpromenades, filmstudio's en straatvoedsel.

De Gateway of India kijkt uit op de haven naast het statige Taj Mahal Palace-hotel, en de straten van Colaba lopen vol met cafés en markten. Het neogotische Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, een UNESCO-werelderfgoed, en de Victoriaanse en art-decogebouwen rond de Oval Maidan tonen de architectonische ambitie van de stad.
