Mumbai, India was formerly known as Bombay and most known for its bustling streets. Today, it is still one of the most enjoyable experiences when you visit the open-air markets but you will also want to make time to enjoy the many waterfront locations. Whether it is to catch the morning sun at Juhu Beach or the sun setting down into the Arabian Sea, Mumbai can provide these delightful times on your getaway. Start your search for cheap flights to Mumbai early. As most travellers require entrance visas for India, last-minute trips aren't exactly recommended. Since Mumbai is the main international hub, you will find flights to Mumbai with major airlines such as British Airways, Delta, Lufthansa and Emirates.
The former home of leader Ghandi is now the Ghandi Museum and a must see attraction for most. The city is the most cosmopolitan in all of India, but while it may be rich and shining on the outside, Mumbai also has the largest slums in India. The city centre feels almost magical and that's because of the huge influence that Bollywood has on this area of India. It's the centre of the hugely popular Hindi film industry and you can find film sets all over the city. Travel tip: Go to the movies while you're in Mumbai, you are after all in the capital of "Bollywood land" so you might as well enjoy it with the locals! Any lakes, parks and religious sites provide a feeling of peaceful tranquillity in Mumbai that is incomparable. If there is any city in India that embraces foreign cultures, it's this one which is no doubt why so many travellers make it a must-see.
Mumbai itself is a young city, in terms of land not politics. Three centuries ago most of the city was underwater which is why you can find incredibly caves cut from rock right within the city limits. Many of these are sacred places, often filled with incredible carvings. Elephanta, Kanheri and Mahakali for example and among the most popular. Travellers spending their holidays in Mumbai should without a doubt visit at least one of these. Another favourite past time of the locals is playing cricket. You can catch a free match at Shivaji Park, opposite Ruia College in Matunga just about every day of the year.
Cheap flights to Chhatrapti Shivaji International Airport (BOM) let you land in this paradise just 28km north of Mumbai. It is the main international hub for flights to India. Public transportation from the airport includes a metro system, city bus service, prepaid coach service and prepaid taxis. It's best to stick with official city taxis as ones without metres have a reputation for ripping off foreigners. Ask at the airport information desk if you are unsure. There are three seasons in Mumbai: summer, monsoon and winter. The best time to visit is winter (between November and February) when temperatures remain warm but aren't scorching. Visitors often have a hard time adjusting to the humidity, so bring along a small paper fan to cool yourself.
