About Mumbai
India's financial capital, on the Arabian Sea, and the city where accommodation is usually the largest line of any trip because space is scarce. Local trains and the growing metro keep distances manageable. South Mumbai holds the colonial era buildings, the Gateway of India and Elephanta ferries, while the suburbs cost less to stay in. Monsoon from June to September floods streets and delays transport.
