Visit Mumbai
Rich with history, literally dating back to the stone-age, Mumbai is a landmark, both for its high population –the 4th largest urban concentration of people, and a bustling street life, market and nightlife.
Mumbai is home to the Bombay stock exchange, the oldest stock exchange in Asia. As one could guess, the economic and commercial districts in this city are vast, with a whole network of business towers, business plazas, hotels and commercial complexes. Many Mumbai hotels are near shopping malls and street markets as well as a fast underground and aboveground transportation system, getting professionals, locals and tourists around the area in no time at all.
One of the most popular attractions in Mumbai is the renowned Bollywood industry –Asia’s own Hollywood. Gaining respect around the world as a competitive film market, Bollywood attracts a great number of tourists from around India and beyond. Also popular in Mumbai are the brightly lit boulevards and bustling street life action, attracting visitors on the prowl for colorful drinks, good music and a bit of fun.
Hindu temples, colonial temples, ancient artifacts (dating back to 250 B.C.), zoos and tropical parks can all be found easily. Many visitors make the trip to the area for the museums and temples alone, popular for their spacious marble halls, period artwork, relevance in modern archeology, Hinduism, Christianity and Muslim architecture.
Mumbai is an exciting visit, from fast-paced streets, like Fashion Street or Colaba district, to historically and culturally rich adventures such as old Bombay or Flora Fountain. The area is green and gorgeous, home to great beaches and a sparkling natural waterfront.
