About Mumbai

Mumbai er Indias rastløse, glamorøse storby ved Arabiahavet, en by med koloniale landemerker, promenader ved sjøen, filmstudioer og gatemat.

Gateway of India vender mot havnen ved siden av det staselige hotellet Taj Mahal Palace, og gatene i Colaba fylles av kaféer og markeder. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, i nygotisk stil og oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste, og de viktorianske og art deco-bygningene rundt Oval Maidan viser byens arkitektoniske ambisjoner.
