Discover Mumbai
As the beating heart of India’s entertainment and economic industries, Mumbai is India’s most cosmopolitan city, and it’s teeming with culture. Formerly known as Bombay, the city boasts a unique blend of architectural wonders, combining Hindu, Gothic, Art-Deco and Islamic styles, sometimes all within the one building, as with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
Often, old buildings will be torn down to make way for sparkling skyscrapers, creating a fascinating juxtaposition between past and present. Mumbai’s unique position along the Arabian Sea has created some iconic vistas. Visit the Gateway to India to understand the city’s significant role in welcoming international trade and waving off British troops following India’s independence.
In the same snapshot, admire the stunning facade of The Taj Mahal Palace, set behind the gate of India. Whether shopping at a bazaar or relaxing on the beach, few cities in India offer as much variety as Mumbai. Like many port-towns, multiculturalism is woven into every aspect of life here, and this can be tasted in any of the delicious food you eat in Mumbai.
