The City of Dreams – All You Must Explore is Right Here

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, the City of Dreams is so much more than just a bustling, commercial capital, it is a phenomenon everyone should experience. From electrifying nightlife to breathtaking nature, this city has it all.

From posh clubs with themed nights to underground venues with the best of artists to watch out for, Mumbai has a something to offer everyone.

If you are a nature-lover, look for budget hotels near the Mumbai airport, rent a car and drive off to explore the beauty of Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar or Nasik. If you do not have so much time on hand, book one of the hotels in Andheri east and head on over to one of the best trekking destinations of the country- Harishchandragad to Kalsubai peak.

This city has something to offer for your every craving. Indulge in the best of street food from Chole bhature to vada pav, paani puri and sandwiches at Eleko market, or embark on a culinary journey with mouth-watering delicacies at Parsi cafes. End your meal on a sweet note with local desserts like chikki, srikhand, puran poli and shira at Chowpatti. If you are in South Bombay after a fun night at the club, satiate your midnight cravings with delicious Mughlai and mutton delicacies at Bade Miya, a cafe open till the wee hours, busy as a bee even at night.

Shopping is an absolute delight in Mumbai- from luxury brands at High Street Pheonix to street side shopping, get ready to be spoilt for choice. Visit at Colaba, linking road Bandra and Lokhandwala for all things trendy, at the fraction of the price.

Your first time to the City of Dreams? The rich culture and history, architecture and sprawling beaches are not to miss. Book a tour of the city covering all the sightseeing experiences or rent a car and cross each off your list – one by one! Begin with Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus – once a symbol of the Victorian empire, now a UNESCO World Heritage site and the centre of Mumbai's transport network followed by the Gateway of India, Haji Ali Dargah amid the sea, the Hanging Gardens and finally, your trip is definitely incomplete without a late-night walk and horse ride on Marine Drive.

The list of things to do does not end here. A once upon a time amalgamation of seven islands, and surrounded by the calming waters of the Arabian sea, Mumbai is a city for sea lovers and beach junkies. From secluded, virgin beaches to festive, crowded ones – here are the seven best beaches of the city you must have on your list- Juhu Beach, Versova beach, Uran beach, Dadar beach, Erangal beach, Aksa beach and Gorai beach.
