Mumbai, formerly Bombay, is India's largest city and financial capital, the home of Bollywood and a city of energy and contrasts. Victorian buildings, Art Deco apartments and skyscrapers stand side by side on a peninsula on the Arabian Sea.

South Mumbai

The Gateway of India, an arch on the waterfront, faces the historic Taj Mahal Palace hotel. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, a gothic railway station, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marine Drive, a curving seafront boulevard, is called the 'Queen's Necklace' for its lights at night.

Neighborhoods

Colaba has markets and cafés, and Kala Ghoda is the arts district. Chowpatty Beach is famous for street food in the evening. Boats leave from the Gateway for the Elephanta Caves, with ancient rock-cut temples.
