Why visit Mumbai

• Mumbai (Bombay) is India’s financial and film capital — a harbour city of Victorian Gothic, Art Deco, and intense density.
• Gateway of India and Colaba form the classic tourist base; local trains are the city’s circulatory system (use carefully).
• Street food (vada pav, bhel) and seafood define flavours; Bollywood energy is more vibe than guaranteed studio access.
• Contrasts between wealth and informal settlements are visible — travel respectfully.
