Welcome to Mumbai !
The thriving metropolis of Mumbai is a go-to destination for travelers curious to experience a modern Indian city. Located on the Arabian Sea, this urban seaside peninsula is a melting pot of old and new India. Towering office blocks and shiny apartment buildings shoulder crumbling grand dames of architecture. Men play cricket in the leafy central parks, taxis navigate the jam packed streets and families stroll along the seaside promenades of Mumbai. Examples of every time period and class of people exist side by side, symbolizing the inter--connectedness of all things in Indian thought and life. Some architectural glories of old Bombay include exciting examples of fusion British Raj architecture, one of the largest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world, and one of the most expensive private residences in the world--- all abutting Asia’s largest slum. It is also the movie making capital of India – Welcome to Bollywood!
