Moembaai - Mumbai

Mumbai is 'n groot stad met verskeie distrik artikels wat inligting bevat oor spesifieke besienswaardighede, restaurante en akkommodasie.

Moembaai (Marathi: मुंबई, Hindi: मुम्बई) (staats toerismekantoor), 'n kosmopolitiese metropool, vroeër bekend as Bombaai, is die grootste stad in Indië en die hoofstad van die staat Maharashtra. Mumbai was oorspronklik 'n samevoeging van sewe eilande op die Konkan kuslyn wat mettertyd saamgevoeg is om die eilandstad Bombay te vorm. Die eiland het op sy beurt weer saam met die naburige eiland Salsette gevorm Groter Bombaai. Die stad het 'n geskatte metropolitaanse bevolking van 21 miljoen (2011), wat dit een van die wêreld se mees bevolkte stede maak.

Mumbai is ongetwyfeld die kommersiële hoofstad van Indië en is een van die oorheersende hawestede in die land. Die natuur van Mumbai as die mees eklektiese en kosmopolitiese Indiese stad word in die teenwoordigheid van Bollywood in die stad, die middelpunt van die wêreldwyd invloedryke Hindi-film- en TV-industrie. Dit is ook die tuiste van Indië se grootste krotbuurt en die ikoniese Gateway van Indië wat tydens die Britse Raj aan die waterkant van Mumbai-hawe gebou is.

Die naam Bombay kom van Bom Bahia ('die goeie baai' in Portugees), 'n naam wat die ontdekkingsreisiger Francis Almeida gegee het. Mumbai is vernoem na die godin Mumba devi van die Koli-gemeenskap.

Distrikte

Wes en Sentraal, Oos en Wes 'N Besoeker aan Mumbai se voorstede sal vinnig verneem dat die voorstede in "Westelik" en "Sentraal" verdeel is. U sal ook hoor van 'n "Westelike" en "Oostelike" kant. Hier is 'n vinnige verduideliking vir die verwardes. Die westelike en sentrale voorstede is vernoem na die plaaslike spoorlyne wat die onderskeie gebiede bedien. Die Westelike en Sentrale Spoorweë is spoorlyne wat die westelike en sentrale dele van Indië. Albei het hul hoofkwartier in Mumbai. Die Harbour Line is 'n voerlyn wat die hawegebiede verbind met die Sentrale en Westelike lyne. Dit bied ook verbinding met die noordoostelike voorstede van Mumbai en verder na Navi Mumbai. Die meeste van hierdie gebiede lê nêrens naby 'n hawe nie. Byna alle plekke in Mumbai het 'n 'West- en 'n' Ooste-kant. "Wes" beteken wes van die spoorlyn en "Oos" beteken oos van die spoorlyn. Mulund (Wes) beteken byvoorbeeld dat die gebied wes van die Mulund-treinstasie is. In adresse word Wes en Oos afgekort, dit wil sê Mulund (W) en Mulund (E).

Mumbai is 'n stad gebou in opeenvolgende golwe van migrasies. Die buurte het hul karakter verwerf van die gemeenskappe wat hulle eers daar gevestig het. Hierdie buurte is te veel om op te noem en daar is geen algemeen aanvaarde manier om hierdie buurte in groter distrikte te groepeer nie. Maar ongeveer, van die suide na die noorde, het dit die stad ontwikkel.

Verstaan

Mumbai is 'n bruisende, diverse metropool met sy eie flair. Die ondernemingsgees en polsende lewenstempo bied 'n skerp kontras met 'n groot deel van die res van Indië.

Naam

Daar was baie debatte oor die oorspronklike naam van die stad. Sommige sê dat die huidige naam van die stad Mumbai die oorspronklike naam is; en is 'n naam wat afgelei is van 'Mumba', die naam van die plaaslike Hindoe-godin Mumbadevi, en 'Aai', wat 'moeder' in Marathi beteken. Ander beweer dat Bombay 'n verengelsde weergawe van Bom Bahia was, 'n naam wat deur die Portugese gegee is as 'Beautiful Bay' en later deur die Britte gewild gemaak is as die naam van die Bombay-staat.

Die naam is in 1995 amptelik van Bombay na Mumbai verander. Alhoewel Bombay en Mumbai albei gebruik word, is mense wat eksplisiet 'Bombay' gebruik meestal nie Marathi-sprekers nie, terwyl voorstanders van 'Mumbai' hoofsaaklik Marathi praat. In die Weste word Mumbai meer algemeen aanvaar om kontroversie te voorkom. Die stad word ook met graagte आमची called ("ons Mumbai") genoem.

Geskiedenis

Alhoewel die sewe eilande waaruit die stad bestaan ​​nou 'n lang geskiedenis het soos enige ander plek in Indië, het hul reis na die stad Mumbai regtig begin in 1498, toe die Portugese hulle oorgeneem het by die Sultan van Gujarat. Hulle het 'n nedersetting, forte en kerke gebou (insluitend die vreemde Portugese kerk wat tot vandag toe staan.) Hulle kon egter nie veel van hul besit maak nie en die sewe eilande is in 1661 aan Engeland oorhandig as deel van die bruidskat van Catherine de Braganza toe sy met Karel II van Engeland trou. Hy was ook nie baie geïnteresseerd in die eilande nie en verhuur hulle in 1668 vir £ 10 per jaar aan die Britse Oos-Indiese Kompanjie. Die Oos-Indiese Kompanjie het die dokke, die handelsposte en die fort gebou wat die senuweesentrum sou vorm. van die stad. Hulle het ook begin met die lang proses om grond terug te eis en by die eilande aan te sluit, 'n aktiwiteit wat voortgeduur het tot in die 1960's.

Die hawe het bedrywe gelok en die ondernemingsgemeenskappe soos die Parsis, Gujaratis en Marwaris (van Rajasthan) het in die laat 19de eeu gemigreer en handelsondernemings opgerig. Bedrywe het trekarbeiders uit verskillende dele van die land gelok. Die opeenvolgende migrasiegolwe het die karakter van die stad en sy woonbuurte gevorm.

Die stad wat sy bestaan ​​te danke het aan die pogings van die Britte, was ook die geboorteplek van die Indiese Nasionale Kongres, wat 'n oorweldigende belangrike rol in die onafhanklikheidsbeweging gespeel het. Die stad waarvan die fabrieke deur nyweraars van regoor die land gebou is, is die hoofstad van die staat Maharashtra, wat op taalkundige lyne gekerf is vir Marathi sprekers.

In die 1980's het die hoë arbeidskoste en onrus die sluiting van baie tekstielfabrieke gedwing, en die stad het in 'n agteruitgang begin, waarna dit eers in die laat 1890's begin herstel het. Die hoë bevolking plaas die infrastruktuur onder druk. Die spoor- en padnetwerk het in die negentigerjare 'n aanhoudende verbetering ondergaan, maar vanweë die omvang van die taak lyk dit of die paaie permanent gebou word. Moembaai het homself nou herontdek as 'n middelpunt vir die diensbedryf.

In Januarie 1993, na die vernietiging van die Babri Moskee in Ayodhya, het 'n golf van onluste die stad oorval, met meer as 1 000 mense dood, waarvan die oorgrote meerderheid Moslems was. Die verhouding tussen die verskillende etniese groepe in die stad was sedertdien gespanne met verskeie terreuraanvalle (sien #Bly veilig) brandstof by die vuur gooi.

Kultuur en houdings

Moembaai is die mees kosmopolitiese stad in Indië. In vergelyking met die res van die land is die stad redelik liberaal. Met 'n gereelde toestroming van immigrante uit die res van Indië, het die burgers, alom bekend as 'Mumbaikers', opvallende verdraagsaamheid teenoor ander kulture getoon, wat dit 'n ware kulturele smeltkroes maak. Hierdie verdraagsaamheid het egter soms onder eksterne druk gebuig. Tussen die 60's en 80s was daar 'n wrok oor die nie-Marathiese sprekers wat werk wegneem. Die onluste tussen Hindoes en Moslems in 1991 en 1993 het wel hierdie gees beïnvloed; die stad het egter daarin geslaag om hiervan te herstel, en weer met trots die ware 'gees van Mumbai' beklemtoon.

Klimaat

Mumbai het drie hoofseisoene - somer, moeson en winter (milder somer). Die beste tyd om te besoek is gedurende die winter tussen Oktober en Februarie. Vogtigheid is ook minder gedurende die winter, wanneer die klimaat aangenaam is; die minimum temperatuur is 17 ° C en die maksimum is 30-31 ° C. Die somer is van Maart tot Mei, met 'n hoogtepunt in die lae tot middel 30's (ongeveer 80-90 ° F). Dit is warm en vogtig gedurende hierdie tyd. Junie tot September is die moesonseisoen wanneer die stad deur swaar reën geteister word. Die stad word twee of drie keer oorstroom en die normale lewe word gedurende hierdie seisoen onderbreek. Klimaat is redelik regdeur die jaar vogtig, want die stad rus aan die kus.

Gaan in

Met die vliegtuig

Mumbai het uitstekende verbindings met die meeste van die groot stede regoor die wêreld, waaronder New York, Londen, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Singapoer, Hongkong, Kuala Lumpur, om maar net 'n paar te noem. As u vanuit Europa vlieg, is dit gewoonlik goedkoper om vanaf Londen te vlieg, en daar is baie gereelde vlugte beskikbaar. Alle binnelandse sektore is gekoppel aan Mumbai, wat dit die tweede besigste middelpunt in die land naas Delhi maak.

Moembaai's 19.09974872.874991 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Internasionale Lughawe (BOM ^IATA) is een van Indië se besigste lughawens en een van die belangrikste internasionale poortjies na die land.

Kry rond

Die meeste inwoners van Mumbai maak staat op openbare vervoer na en van hul werkplek weens die gebrek aan parkeerplekke, verkeersknelpunte en oor die algemeen swak padtoestande, veral in die moeson. Ry egter minstens een keer in die stad in 'n taxi en motor. As u nie gewoond is aan Indiese paaie nie, kan 'n motor-riksja-rit 'n hartverskeurende, doodsveragtende, fisiese wette wees. Voel 'n regte avontuur in 'n voertuig wat voel asof dit teen 'n snelheid van meer as 30 kilometer per uur (19 mph) uitmekaar kan val met 'n bestuurder wat dink hy is Schumacher.

Om met die openbare vervoer te reis, kan u die m-Indicator-app aflaai vir Android en iPhone. Dit bevat nuttige inligting oor bus- en treinroetes, wat u kan help om u pendel te beplan.

Met die taxi

Swart & geel top taxi

Huurmotors is goedkoop en volop (US $ 15–18 behoort genoeg te wees om u van die een kant van die stad na die ander kant te neem). Die meeste taxi's in Mumbai is klein-medium-grootte Fiat-motors (nie lugversorgd nie), swart-en-geel geverf (swart op onderlyf en geel op dak). Die wettige maksimum beperking op die aantal passasiers in 'n taxi is 4, uitgesluit die bestuurder. U kan 'n taxi van die strate af haal. Baie is egter nogal lastig, vuil en dra meganiese tariefmeters wat soms gepeuter kan word. Alle taxi's moet elektroniese meters hê wat ietwat peuter kan wees. As u die datum van 'n meganiese meter teëkom, kan u 'n klag indien by die naaste verkeerspolisie. Volgens die wet kan 'n swart-en-geel taxibestuurder ook nie 'n tarief weier nie. As 'n bestuurder weier, doen die dreigement om by die naaste polisie te kla, gewoonlik die truuk.

Berekening van taxigeld Om taxi-tariewe te bereken deur 'n meganiese meter te lees en dit met behulp van tariefkaart om te skakel, kan na 'n ingewikkelde stelsel lyk. Dit is egter redelik eenvoudig. Lees net die meter, bereken die tarief deur die meterlesing aan te pas met 'n tariefkaart om by die finale betaalbare tarief uit te kom. Die minimum tarief is ₹ 16. Voorafbetaalde planne het die tarief wat aan die begin gehaal is, en dus is die meterlesing nie van toepassing nie. Vir nagkoste (middernag tot 05:00) verhoog u die tarief met 25%. Voeg groot bagasie-items ongeveer ₹ 10 per stuk by. Dit is baie handig om u eie eksemplaar van die taximeterkaart wat deur die verkeerspolisie in Mumbai uitgereik word, te laat uitreik. Volgens die verkeerswette is die tariefkaart verpligtend en moet die taxibestuurder dit op versoek aan die passasiers beskikbaar stel. U kan dit aanlyn by die Mumbai verkeerspolisie webwerf. Klagtes kan ook aanlyn op dieselfde webwerf ingedien word. U kan taxi- en motortariewe vooraf skat met behulp van die Taxi-tarief of motor tarief webwerf. U moet die pleknaam "Van" en "Na" se pleknaam invoer en die diens bereken die afstand en tarief, en wys ook 'n Google-kaart met die roete.

As u ekstra stukke bagasie het, sal die bagasieruim (bagasieruim) van die taxi nie voldoende ruimte bied nie - een groot tas is al wat daar sal pas. Dit is beter om 'n taxi met 'n topvervoerder te huur. Top draers het slaapplek vir tot drie groot tasse. Voordat u met die reis begin, moet u seker maak dat die bagasie veilig aan die vervoerder vasgemaak is.

Oor die algemeen is die enigste manier om 'n standaardtaxi aan te vra om een ​​op straat te haal. Dit sal nie 'n probleem wees as u binne stadsgrense is nie (d.w.s. Noord-Sentraal Bombay en onder). As u in die voorstede is, sal dit moeilik wees om 'n taxi te vind, want die goedkoper motor-riksja's het nie met hulle meegeding nie.

Die maksimum aantal passasiers wat amptelik toegelaat word vir 'n reis, is vier - drie op die agtersitplek en een voor. Veiligheidsgordels is nie verpligtend vir taxi-passasiers nie, en die meeste standaard-swart en geel taxi's sal dit nie eers laat installeer nie, maar verwag dit in die handelsmerke.

Blou & wit top taxi

Die Blou en Wit (S / W) taxi's is premie-openbare taxi's wat die lugversorgde weergawe van die swart en geel (S / Y) taxi's is. Al die reëls van die B / Y-taxi's geld ook vir die S / W-taxi's, behalwe dat die S / W-taxi's lugversorg is. Boonop is die tarief vir die S / W-taxi's 20% hoër as die S / Y-taxi's. Dit is die premie wat verwag word vir lugversorging, wat baie nuttig is vir toeriste en reisigers wat nie gewoond is aan die hitte en besoedeling van Mumbai nie. Boonop pas al die S / W-taxi's elektroniese meters in teenstelling met die S / Y-taxi's.

Aangesien die tariewe van die S / W 'n premie is, verkies die gewone mense gewoonlik nie om met die S / W-taxi's te reis nie, en word dit hoofsaaklik deur toeriste of sakereisigers gebruik. Vanweë die gebrek aan vraag word die gebrek aan aanbod ook verwag. Die taxi's ry gereeld, maar is nie maklik beskikbaar op alle plekke nie. U kan altyd verwag dat dit beskikbaar sal wees by toeriste-hotspots, soos treinstasies, lughawens, premium hotelle, top toeriste-plekke, ens. nie na 'n taxi wil gaan soek nie, word voorgestel dat u na die volgende afdeling gaan.

Privaat taxi's

As u 'n gemaklike rit met lugversorging wil hê teen 'n klein toeslag van 25 persent bo normale taxi's dit is die beste om per taxi-handelsnaam te reis wat teen die regering goedgekeurde tariewe werk. Hierdie dienste bedryf moderne vlote met goed opgeleide bestuurders. U kan dit met 30–60 minute kennisgewing kry, hulle is skoon, met lugversorging, toegerus met digitale, peuterbestande meters, stiptelik, eerlik en GPS-toegerus-gemonitor, wat hulle te alle tye baie veilig maak. As u 'n selfoon gebruik, ontvang u 'n SMS met die bestuurder se naam, selfoonnommer en motor nommer 30 minute voor die vertrek. Kostes beloop ₹ 22 vir die eerste kilometer en ₹ 15 vir daaropvolgende kilometers, met 'n toeslag van 25% per nag (middernag tot 05:00). Sommige kan aanlyn bespreek word.

Volg die toustelsel om in 'n taxi te klim. Heel gereeld word toeriste en nuwe besoekers gepeupel deur gewetenlose taxibestuurders. Die meeste bestuurders is eerlik, maar die oneerlikes is geneig om op treinstasies en lughawens saam te trek waar hulle makliker suiers kan vind. Tensy u 'n voorafbetaalde taxi neem, moet u altyd taxi's vra om volgens die meter te ry. Aan die begin van die reis, moet u seker maak dat die meter sigbaar is en die vlaggeld-tarief / meterlesing toon.

Vervoer netwerk taxi's

Mumbai word ook bedien deur verskillende vervoernetwerkorganisasies. Baie toeriste en plaaslike inwoners gebruik dienste soos Uber en Ola Cabs om in en om Mumbai te pendel. Lees die tariewe hierin voordat u betaal. Alhoewel die meeste van hierdie dienste wel kontant aanvaar, kan baie daarvan ook gekoppel word aan aanlyn-beursie-dienste soos Paytm; as sodanig is oorbelading selde 'n risiko.

Bly veilig

Om in Mumbai te reis is gewoonlik veilig op enige tyd van die dag of nag. Die risiko's loop hoofsaaklik as u nie weet wat die tariewe en tariefberekeninge is nie (slegs van toepassing op nie-elektroniese en nie-voorafbetaalde meters). As u alleen reis, veral in die nag, moet u altyd die meter self sien en dan die tarief betaal. As u alleen is, sit voor sodat u die meter kan sien.

Die nagkoste is slegs van toepassing as u gedurende die nag (middernag tot 05:00) op die voertuig klim. As u voor middernag in die voertuig geklim het en u reis na middernag eindig, is u nie die nagkoste betaalbaar nie. Net so, as u voor 05:00 op die voertuig klim en u eindig na 05:00, is u nagkoste betaalbaar.

In teenstelling met ander dele van die land, veral Delhi waar verkragting algemeen voorkom, is misdaad skaars, behalwe moontlike misdaad soos sakkerollery.

Toeriste lokvalle

Een van die algemeenste bedrogspul is om die tarief vir naggeld gedurende die dag te hef. U moet versigtig wees en die opskrif lees voordat u betaal. In sommige kaarte is die naggeld rooi van kleur en die daggeld swart van kleur.

Soms vra motor-riksja-bestuurders die taxi-tarief en wys hulle selfs 'n tariefkaart wat gebruik word vir die berekening van taxi-tariewe.

U kan die m-indicator-app aflaai wat beskikbaar is in Play Store en iTunes App Store. Hierdie inligting bevat die nuutste taxi-tariewe, motor tariewe, busdienste besonderhede en plaaslike treinrooster.

Deur outo-riksja

Auto-riksja's mag slegs buite Bandra in die westelike voorstede en verder as Sion in die sentrale voorstede werk. Hulle het nie lisensies in die middestad nie.

Voor u vertrek, moet u seker maak dat die meter sigbaar is en dat die afleeswaarde as 1.00 (op 'n meganiese meter) aangedui word. As die getal hoër is, dring daarop aan dat die bestuurder dit weer afmerk. Die minimum tarief is £ 18. Die meter bly 1,00 vir die eerste 1,6 km (0,99 mi) en elke 0,10 beweging dui op ongeveer 200 m (dit wil sê 1,50 vir elke 0,2 km (0,12 mi)). Die tarief is £ 7 vir elke km, behalwe vir die eerste 1,6 km (0,99 mi) waarvoor dit £ 15 is. Elke motorbestuurder is veronderstel om 'n geldige RTO-goedgekeurde metertariefkaart te hê. U kan hierdie tariefkaart nagaan voordat u betaal. Die meter hou ook aan om te tik as u wag en / of in die verkeer sit. Dit is baie handig om 'n afskrif van die meterkaart wat deur die verkeerspolisie in Mumbai uitgereik word, te laat uitreik. Dit alles geld vir meganiese meters, nie digitale meters nie. Nuwer digitale meters het vanaf 2012 algemeen begin word, en dit toon die presiese tarief, en dit is dus nie nodig om via die tariefkaart om te skakel nie.

Outo-riksja's is stadiger as motors en het verskriklike skorsings. Swanger dames is die meeste sterk aangeraai om nie met motor-riksja's te reis nie, aangesien die kombinasie van uitslag, swak skorsings en haglike padtoestande dikwels tot ernstige komplikasies gelei het. Die motor-riksja is 'n stadige en ongemaklike voertuig en word nie aanbeveel vir baie lang afstande nie.

Met die bus

• Moembaai Metropolitaanse Streek - Die Moembaai Metropolitaanse Streek rondom Mumbai is vinnig besig om te ontwikkel tot 'n groot woonbuurt. As u na die omliggende stede Thane moet gaan, Navi Mumbai of Kalyan, busdienste is beskikbaar.

Brihanmumbai elektriese toevoer en vervoer (bekend as BESTE) bied doeltreffende en omvattende dienste wat alle plekke van die stad en die voorstede verbind. Sommige dienste verbind die stad ook met die uitgebreide voorstede soos Navi Mumbai, Thane en Mira-Bhayandar. Sitplekke word amper altyd beset. Daar is bushaltes oor die hele stad. Daar is gewoonlik 'n skare en 'n tou. U moet deur die agterste ingang inklim en aan die voorkant afklim. Kaartjies word uitgereik deur 'n uniform 'dirigent' nadat u inklim. Spesiale sitplekke is gemerk vir 'Dames', 'Senior burgers', 'Gestremdes', 'Verwagtende vroue' en 'Vroue met babas'. Hulle kan van voor af inklim.

Busse ry van 05:00 tot middernag. Geselekteerde roetes strek verder as hierdie tye, maar baie minder gereeld. Gemiddelde frekwensie tussen busse wissel van vyf tot 30 minute, afhangende van die roete. Tariewe is redelik en busse kan gedurende spitstye gereis word, anders as treine wat te druk is. Sommige stamroetes raak egter baie druk. Spitstye het ook verkeerde snars wat kan afhang van die gebied wat deurkruis word en die toestand van die paaie.

Wat verbind Elektriese toevoer en vervoer? BEST het vervoer begin deur 'n tremonderneming te begin. Natuurlik bestuur dit busse wat op diesel en CNG ry, nie op elektrisiteit nie. Die maatskappy is steeds verantwoordelik vir die verspreiding van elektrisiteit in Suid- en Sentraal-Mumbai.

Busse is genommer en die eindbestemming word aan die voorkant in Marathi en aan die kant in Engels gemerk. Oor die algemeen sou busse rondom die stad en die koetsroetes in die 1-199-reeks wees. Busse in die westelike voorstede sal die 200-reeks wees, terwyl diegene wat in die sentrale en oostelike voorstede ry, in die 300- en 400-reeks sal wees. Dienste aan Navi, Mumbai is in die 500-reeks en busse na die Mira-Bhayander-gebied is in die 700-reeks.

BEST het die "Daily Pass" bekendgestel (koste ₹ 50, geldig op alle BESTE busse wat nie van AC afkomstig is nie; Koste ₹ 60, geldig op alle BESTE busse, insluitend busroetes met lugversorging)

BEST het sy app bekendgestel "BESTE Prawas"vir Android, wat funksies bevat soos regstreekse opsporing van busse en ETA van busse.

U kan ook BESTE buskaartjies en -passe koop met die ridlr app vir Android.

Met die trein

Voorstedelike spoornetwerk

Die meeste mense reis in Mumbai met behulp van die Voorstedelike spoornetwerk algemeen na verwys as "plaaslike inwoners". Mumbai het 'n uitgebreide netwerk met drie lyne - die Western Line, die Central Main Line en die Harbour Line.

• Mumbai is 'n lineêre stad en die Western Line reis vanaf Churchgate na Dahanu Road via Mumbai se Western Suburbs. Die westelike lyn bied Noord-Suid-verbinding.
• Die sentrale hooflyn reis vanaf Mumbai CST (Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus), oftewel VT Victoria Terminus na Kalyan via Mumbai se sentrale voorstede en Thane, met sommige dienste wat verder loop as Karjat, Khopoli en Kasara. Die wisselpunt tussen die Western Line en die Central Line is Dadar.
• Die Harbour Line het 'n gemeenskaplike stuk tussen Mumbai CST (ook bekend as VT Victoria Terminus) en Vadala. Die hawelyn word in twee spore verdeel, die hoofweg loop na Mumbai se Oostelike Voorstede en Navi Mumbai, tot by Panvel. Die wisselpunt van hierdie lyn met die sentrale hooflyn is by Kurla. The other spur of the Harbour Line runs up to Mahim on the Western Line and runs parallel up to Andheri. The interchange stations with the Western line are Bandra and Andheri.

Trains on all lines start operations after 4AM and close operations between midnight and 1AM.Second class travel is very cheap. However, it is advisable to buy first class tickets as the economy class is extremely crowded. First Class can be quite expensive and if four people are travelling together, a taxi might be better.There would always be queues and it would be advisable to buy coupon booklets. Coupon booklets punching machines are available at all stations and the best thing is you will not have to stand in a huge line to buy a booklet. Another option is to buy a Smart card for Railways. It helps you maintain balance like any a gift card with an option to refill it once it goes below the limit. Smart card outlets to buy tickets are available on all stations. They are touch screen based and you can simply follow the instructions to buy a ticket for the right path.

If you are a tourist, you can buy a 'Tourist Ticket'. It costs ₹275 and you can travel in first class compartments of all the three lines during the entire day. Ensure the location of the first class compartment before the train arrives. You may ask fellow passengers or the vendors at the various food stalls. An easier way to spot the location of the First class compartment is to check the station walls painted with red and yellow slant stripes.

Avoid using local trains during rush hour (first class or otherwise). Rush hour is 8:30–10:30AM towards CST and Churchgate and 5:30PM–8:30PM in the opposite direction. If you are traveling during rush hour, don't stand near railway track as you will get swamped by frantic. Take no offense if you are pushed and shoved about, as passengers jostle for a spot. As you near your exit station, ensure that you are as close as possible to the train door, as experienced commuters, will be begin the mad run to be first on, or off, the car before the car comes to a full stop. If you stand any chance of getting on/off before the train depart, you must be equally aggressive in your focus to exit/enter, remember no one will take offense if you make contact with others, as you wriggle by. Last, but not least, exiting/entering a train before it comes to a full stop is not something to be taken lightly, one misstep can send a person onto the rails with an amazing ease! Leave the stunts to the experienced locals.

There are special coaches for women on both classes. These are designated by green and yellow slant stripes, spot these stripes on the station walls and you'll know where the ladies compartment is. These are generally less crowded and safer. But very late at night, it might actually be safer to travel by the general coach than the first-class women's coach, as the latter may be absolutely empty except for you. From 11:15PM-6:30PM the ladies compartment towards the northern end is open to general public. Sometimes they have a cop guarding the coaches, but sometimes they won't. Use your judgment.

Mumbai Metro

The Mumbai Metro connects the western suburbs to the eastern suburbs. Line 1 runs from Versova to Ghatkopar with interchange options available at Andheri (Western Line) And Ghatkopar (Central Line) Railway Station. The travel time is 20 minutes.

You can purchase Mumbai Metro tickets from your smartphone using the ridlr app.

Mumbai Monorail

Mumbai has India's first monorail, it has one line and eighteen stations throughout the city. The fare is between ₹5 and ₹11 depends on your destination station.

By ferry

These are a few intra-city ferry services:

• Gateway of India to Elephanta Caves Fast boats and Catamarans operated by private operators. These are moderately priced. This is only way to get to Elephanta Caves.
• Gorai (Borivali) to Gorai Beach Low cost ferry connecting Gorai Beach/Esselworld.
• Marve Jetty (Malad) to Manori Jetty Cheap ferry (by BEST) connecting Manori and Gorai. Also services for Esselworld (Amusement Park).
• Versova (Andheri) to Madh Jetty Cheap ferry connecting Madh/Erangal/Aksa/Marve.

By car

Travel agents and hotels can arrange private chauffeur driven cars to provide services. Expensive by comparison with taxis, they are the most trusted, secure, and comfortable way to travel around the city. Driving in Mumbai can be difficult, because of poor driver discipline, but chauffeur driven services are very reasonable. These can be arranged by travel companies or online from the countries of origin. Car rental agencies also have services in Mumbai.

Praat

Mumbai is India's melting pot — a confluence of people from various parts of India, but dominant are people from the west, then north, and followed by the south. Marathi is the state and city official language used by State Government agencies, municipal authorities, and the local police, and also the first language of most locals.

However, being India's largest city and main commercial centre, Mumbai is now also home to migrants from other parts of India who do not speak Marathi. A local variant of Hindi, with strong Bollywood influence, called Bambaiya Hindi serves as the "lingua franca" and although almost everyone can understand standard Hindi, you may get an interesting reply from some. Most educated locals will be well versed in Marathi, Hindi and English.

English is widely used in the corporate world and in banking and trading. At most places, you will be able to get by with Hindi and English, as most people you will encounter can communicate in broken English at the very least. However expect to hear more regional languages including Gujarati.

Sien

The game of names The names of Mumbai's monuments tell us the story of which way political winds were blowing when they were built. In the late 19th century the British named everything after their Queen, so we had Victoria terminus, Victoria Gardens, and the Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute (built in 1887 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty's coronation). In the early 20th century, they named everything after the Prince of Wales. After independence the colonial names could not be retained of course, so they were renamed. Depending on whether the city was suffering from bouts of nationalistic pride or Marathi pride at that time, they were named after either Jawaharlal Nehru (the first Prime Minister of India) or Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj (King Shivaji, who founded the Maratha empire in the 18th century). Often, they were named after Shivaji's mother, Jijabai. The advantage of this was that using Veermata Jijabai ("Courageous mother Jijabai") for a place that was earlier named for Victoria maintains the same abbreviation, so "Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute" (formerly Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute) is still VJTI. For a traveller, the practical problem would be that many places have multiple names. Multiple places are named after Nehru, Shivaji, or Jijabai, so you need to be careful about specifying which place you need to get to. Few important names changes to remember are: 'Victoria Terminus' is now 'Chhtrapati Shivaji Terminus' 'Jacob Circle' is now 'Saat Rasta' or 'Sant Gaadge Maharaj Chowk' 'King's Circle' is now 'Maheshwari Udyyan' 'Kurla Terminus' is now 'Lokmanya Tilak Terminus'

There is a lot to see in Mumbai, but the typical "tourist" sights are concentrated in South Mumbai.

By Indian standards, Mumbai is a young city and much of the land comprising the city did not exist until it was claimed from the sea over three centuries ago. It is therefore, a pleasant surprise to find rock cut caves such as the Elephanta, Kanheri, and Mahakali within city limits.

Colonial buildings

The British built a magnificent city within the walls of Fort St. George, which lies at the southern extremity of the city. Some fine examples of the Gothic revival, Neo-classical style and Indo-Saracenic style are seen within this area. To get the best [South Mumbai] experience, stroll around the wide streets of the area right from Churchgate to Colaba. These areas are all beautifully planned and have wide and clean pavements unlike the rest of the city. Famous monuments to be seen in this area are the Gateway of India, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus) building, the Municipal Corporation and Police Headquarters and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastu Sanghralaya (formerly, the Prince Of Wales museum). The famous Taj Mahal hotel is opposite the Gateway of India. The Mumbai University buildings and the High Court are also excellent examples of colonial architecture in the city.

There are a lot of other modern structures to look at in this area. The area known as Marine Drive (right from Chowpatty beach to NCPA) is home to a large number of buildings built in the Art Deco style. Mumbai is second only to Miami in the number of Art Deco buildings. some famous buildings in this style are the Eros and Regal cinemas. The Art Deco and Gothic buildings were added to the UNESCO Wêrelderfenislys in 2018.

Museums and galleries

Some of the most famous museums and art galleries in India are found here. The Kala Ghoda area in South Mumbai teems with them, particularly the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (Prince of Wales Museum), and the National Gallery of Modern Art. Once again, most of them are concentrated in South Mumbai. Also worth planning a visit is Jehangir Art Gallery, also at Kala Ghoda, displays changing exhibits by notable artists. The plaza next to the gallery also regularly displays exhibits of various artists.

In Nehru Complex in Worli is Nehru Centre Art Gallery at Worli is a gallery dedicated to young and promising talent along with established artists. Also within the complex is a permanent exposition, Discovery of India, which attempts to cover every aspect of artistic, intellectual and philosophical attainment of India through ages. The exposition spreads across 14 galleries and reflects true identity of the country. On the other end of the complex, Nehru Science Centre - which has a separate entrance from Mahalaxmi race course road, has a permanent exhibition on 'interactive and exciting' science related exhibits highlighting science principles in fun yet educational way.

Beaches

Mumbai isn't known for beaches because they have immensely filthy water!Mumbai has a few beaches, including one in the downtown area. But they aren't that great and the water off Mumbai's coast is extraordinarily dirty. The relatively better ones are in the Northwest Mumbai area. However, they are a great place to see how the locals spend their Sunday evenings, with various food and game stalls.

There are other beaches to be found such as the Girgaon Chowpaty(the cleanest one) in South Mumbai, Juhu beach in the western suburbs and Aksa Beach in Malad.The currents don't seem strong, but particularly in the rains, lots of people die from drowning, so avoid getting in the water (especially at Aksa Beach). A word of advice to women: Bombay beaches are not the kind you can wear swimsuits to, particularly two-pieces.

Zoos, parks and gardens

Mumbai has a justified reputation as a concrete jungle, but there are some nice pockets of greenery within the city. It is also one of the rare metropolises to have an entire national park within its borders. (Borivali national park also known as Sanjay Gandhi National Park). You will not visit Mumbai for them, but if you are already here, they make a nice escape from the din and bustle. It also houses the ancient Kanheri Caves crafted out of rocky cliffs, which dates back 2,400 years. Entrance fee: Indians/Foreigns 30/30

The city zoo (Veermata Jijabai Udyan) is in Byculla and is a colonial relic which is surprisingly well-preserved. The animals may look rather emaciated, but the sheer diversity of trees on this lush zoo is worth a trip.

Some city parks are very well-maintained and combine history as well. The "Hanging Gardens" on Malabar Hill offers stunning vistas of the Marine Drive. Opposite the Hanging Gardens, there is another park which is known as Kamla Nehru Park, famous for the striking shoe-shaped structure which has been filmed in various Bollywood movies

Further in South Mumbai, the Mumbai Port Trust Garden, is another hidden gem. This is set off a small side street off the Colaba Causeway 2–3 km (1.2–1.9 mi) south of the main section. Attractive views of the port, the naval yards and sunset.

In central Mumbai, there are the Five Gardens. Mainly used by walkers in the morning, it is a mess in the evenings. But the gardens encircle some historic, art deco residences.

Markets and crowds

Mumbai is probably worth visiting just for its street markets, the hustle of vendors, and the madness of the crowds.Good places are Bandra, Khar and Andheri. If you came to Mumbai and didn't give visit to the highly dense and crowded markets, it means you didn't meet the real Mumbai.

Hawkers and street shoppers don't ask for any legal permission and then set their stalls at the places where they see maximum footfall. From electronics items to fresh food, you can get everything at railway platforms, subway and mains streets.

Modern buildings and malls

Once the British left, the zeal to wipe away the traces of colonial rule was, unfortunately, not matched by the enthusiasm to build a new city that matched the grandeur of the British-era buildings. Now, while the shabbiness of the socialist era is thankfully being replaced by architecture with an eye on aesthetics, the new malls, multiplexes, and office buildings that are coming up are indistinguishable from those anywhere else in the world. Still, they are worth a look, especially if you want to have a look at India's success story. Skyscrapers exceeding 60 stories now dominate the skyline.

For long, Inorbit Mall was the only mall offering a lot of variety for shoppers. Palladium, built within the High Street Phoenix, broke the monopoly of Inorbit Mall. From state of the art interiors to international brands, the Palladium has everything. The new Infiniti Mall (Infinity 2) in Malad also has lots of foreign brands and is one of the biggest malls in the suburbs.Nirmal Lifestyles Mall in Mulund and Metro Junction Mall in Kalyan are two of the largest malls in Mumbai. In the central suburbs, they are quite popular in the city.

Powai is a modern central Mumbai suburb with European looks. Powai houses the Indian Institute of Technology and is built around fabulous lake. Most of the construction is in a township format and is privately built. It houses twenty top of the line restaurants, two large convenience stores, a handful of coffee shops and entertainment areas. Initially built as an upmarket self-contained township, Powai has now grown into a business process outsourcing hub in Mumbai. The township reflects both characteristics; you will often find families shopping and twenty somethings hanging out in tables next to each other.

Religious places

Mumbai has temples, mosques, churches, Parsi agiaries, and even a few synagogues reflecting the diversity of its citizens. While these are naturally of interest if you are a believer, some, like the Portuguese church at Dadar are worth visiting just for their unique architecture.

Siddhivinayak temple of Mumbai is very famous. It is in Dadar and you can easily get a taxi to go to the temple from the Dadar railway station.

The city also boasts of Jewish places of worship predominantly in the area called Byculla, but also in South Mumbai. In this area the three prominent Jewish groups of Mumbai lived. They were Bagdadi Jews, Bene Israelis and the locals who had conveted over a period of time and lived in the hinterland.

There are two very beautiful Hare Krishna (ISKCON) temples that are significant tourist attractions. One is in Hare Krishna land, Juhu, Andheri and the other in South Mumbai, near Gandhi's house. Both have Govinda's pure vegetarian restaurants at the premises. Most tourists appreciate the peaceful experience in the temple.

The Islamic Research Foundation of Zakir Naik is in South Central Mumbai near Dongri. Is popular with people of all faiths. It hosts a vast library of books from all world religions and is a great place to hangout and know about Islamic culture.

Haji Ali Dargah is one of the most visited places in Mumbai. The Dargah Sharief is built on a tiny islet 500 metres from the coast, in the middle of Worli Bay, in the vicinity of Worli. People from different religion and places visit this places. More than 80,000 people visit dargah every week.

One notable monument in the northwest suburbs of Mumbai is the Global Vipassana Pagoda, Gorai, Mumbai. It is a meditation centre that can seat 8,000 people. Vipassana literally means mediation, and the centre runs 10-day meditation courses and 1 day mega courses on Sundays. The courses are free of cost but you would have to register for them in advance on their website.

Doen

There is a lot to do in Mumbai, but lack of space means that for outdoorsy activities, you need to head north, often outside city limits. In the Northwestern suburbs and Thane, you will find opportunities for water sports like H20 at Girgaum Chowpatty. There are two golf courses in the city, the more famous one in Chembur in the Harbour suburbs.

Mumbai has a vibrant theater scene with plays in many languages including English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Marathi. While South Mumbai has frequent performances, the best organized theater effort is at Prithvi theater, Juhu in the Western Suburbs. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy Indian classical music and dance. While not a patch on the Sabhas of Chennai, you will find frequent performances of Carnatic music in Shanmukhananda Hall, Matunga in the South Central suburbs.

Mumbai is also usually the first stop for Western pop and rock stars visiting India, which they usually do when they are over 50. The Rock scene is very good in Mumbai. These are very safe to go to and are recommended for rock fans. Most bands cover heavy metal acts like Pantera, Six feet under, and Slipknot. To try to find places with specific music tastes try asking students outside Mumbai's colleges.Western classical music performances are rarer. However most classical music performances along with other art forms are regularly performed at NCPA en Tata Theatre, both next to the narrow strip at Nariman Point.

Nariman Point and Fort are the commercial hubs of the city and the most sought after destinations. There is a significant expatriate population working in the banks and financial services industries. Bandra-Kurla region is up-coming, but remains less desirable.

Advertising industry is a prominent industry in Mumbai. Many of the top advertisings companies such as Lintas, O&M, Saatchi & Saatchi, Contract, Trikaya Grey have their offices in the city.

A good idea to make quick money is to work part-time in a BPO or a call centre most of which are concentrated at Mindspace, Malad(W) and Hiranandani Gardens (Powai). A part-time job csn pay around ₹15,000 a month for just six hours a day for five days in a week. Only suitable for English speakers.

The shopping experience in the city is a study in contrasts. At the lower end of the spectrum are street vendors. Existing at the borderline of legality, entire streets have been given over to these hawkers and in many places it is impossible to walk on the footpaths, because they have blocked the way. On the other hand, these vendors often give you a great bargain though you will have to haggle a lot and be careful about what to buy. There's nothing like taking a local along to shop for you. Some famous shopping streets are:

• Bhuleshwar Market, Kika St, Bhuleshwar (Van : Charni Road Railway Station take first road to south "Babasaheb Jaykar Marg" approximately 1.3 km (0.81 mi) East). for fruits and vegetables 
• 18.96031972.8270791 Chor bazaar (Thief Market), Bhandarwada Ln (Get down at the : Grant Road station on the Western Line. The market is on the east side of the station -). Chor Bazar which literally translates to "Thief Market" is a colloquial term used to refer a place selling stolen items. It consists of number of interconnecting by-lanes with street vendors hawking a wide variety of items from antiques to shoes to car accessories etc. The place can be quite a surprise for the number and type of items on sale. A great place to spot bargains, and bargaining is a must. Shop with a keen eye: look out for fakes or second hand items that are shoddily repaired and can be passed out for a quick buck. Don’t carry too many items like money / jewellery / watches on you when visit the market. Keep it to bare essentials and keep an eye on your belongings. There is a very good chance that you may get robbed since locals are apt at spotting first time shoppers. 
• 18.9176672.828292 Colaba Causeway, Lala Nigam Rd (It is very close to the Gateway of India about 1 km (0.62 mi) south). is filled with tourists and locals. It is a place where you will be able to find many authentic Indian souvenirs, antiques, carpets and chandeliers. But foreigners will have to be very careful, as all these stores are road-side stalls. What may seem a good price that the person has quoted to you, it will actually be a rip off. Do not settle for anything more than one-fourth the quoted price. If they refuse a price just walk away and they will call you back quoting a lower price. Normally, the more you buy, the less you will have to pay for each individual item.

Bookshops

Individual listings can be found in Mumbai's district articles

Mumbai has large number of organized bookshops. However it also has number of streetside second hand book shops or displays that give opportunity to come across rare collections. Many of these roadside book shops can be prominently found, among many, near Flora Fountain, Maheshwari Udyyan (former King's Circle) and Dadar west market.

If you are somewhere in the western suburbs (santacruz,juhu etc.) Granth on juhu road could be a good bet to find the book you are looking for.

The Crossword chain of book shops has an outlet in most malls around the city, as well as the main store in Kemp's Corner.

Tourist traps

In a place without clearly displayed price tags (and sometimes even in places with), you will get charged about 3-4 times as much as a local if you seem like a tourist. Take a local with you if you're going to local markets to haggle. Haggling is much louder and ruder in India than elsewhere. Don't be afraid to haggle things down to 1/4 of the asking price. And most importantly remember that almost all stores that sell carpets, jewelry, handicrafts, etc. pay huge amounts of commission (25% up to even 50%!) to the cab drivers, hence avoid tourist taxis, cabs, etc. Another thing to remember is not to haggle just for the fun of it. The shopkeepers may take offence if you don't buy an item after they have agreed to your price. One of the places that you can trust is The World Trade Centre (in Cuffe Parade, near Hotel Taj President). Behalwe dat dit die enigste Wêreldhandelsentrum in Mumbai is, het hierdie plek 'n wonderlike verskeidenheid voortreflike tapyte, handwerk, sjaals, ens. Met bekende regeringsgoedgekeurde winkels en staatsemporiums. Vra ontvangs oral, insluitend kroeë, en kyk wat u was Neem nooit 'n gidsaanbieding of begeleiding van iemand van die straat aan nie: u sal beslis verward raak. As 'n plek (insluitend taxi's, restaurante, winkels, ens.) beweer dat dit geen verandering het nie (dit is baie onwaarskynlik), dring daarop aan dat hulle kleingeld by 'n naburige winkel kry.

Kruideniersware

Benewens die plaaslike kruidenierswinkels wat in die meeste strate te vinde is, is daar nuwe toevoegings tot die stad in die vorm van nuwe groot en klein supermarkte en hipermarkte waar u al die benodigdhede kan kry. Sommige van hulle is Groot basaar, Hipertoestand, DMart, Spinach Local, Apna Bazaar.

As u op soek is na eksotiese vrugte en groente, probeer dit Natuurmandjie.

Eet

Hierdie is 'n groot stadsartikel , so gedetailleerde volledige lys verskyn in die distriksartikels. Hierdie gedeelte moet slegs 'n kort oorsig wees.

Die eetervaring by 'n luukse restaurant in Mumbai is min of meer dieselfde as elders ter wêreld. U kan kombuis uit die Midde-Ooste, Wes-Europa, Noord-Amerika en China maklik vind. Maar om 'n ware smaak te kry van wat uniek is aan Mumbai, moet u 'n bietjie laer af gaan en die straatkos en Irani-kafees ervaar. Sedert Maart 2015 word beesvleis in Maharashtra, en dus in Mumbai, verbied. Daarom is dit ongewoon om beesvleis in restaurante te vind. Vir individuele restaurante en ander eetplekke, gaan na die distriksbladsye.

Moenie Mumbai verlaat sonder om te probeer nie:

• Alphonso Mangoes gedurende die somerseisoen
• Soveel verskillende soorte chaat (Bhelpuri, Pav Bhaji, ens.) As wat u maag kan hanteer
• Broodmaska ​​(brood en botter) van 'n Irani-kafee
• Goan seekos
• Maharashtrian, Gujrati, Managlorean special en Kerala Thali
• Indiese Chinese
• Indiese lekkers - melkagtige, heerlike konkoksies (probeer die kulfi falooda by Badshah's in Crawford-mark)
• Kebab-rolletjies, Pattis, Keema
  • Veral laataand by Bade Miyaan agter die Taj naby Colaba Causeway (ook as die ligte uit is om die polisie nie om te koop nie, moet u dit steeds probeer nader, aangesien dit waarskynlik nog sal dien)
• Kingfisher Blue beer (nie algemeen in eetplekke nie, maar slegs die meeste "wynwinkels" (drankwinkels)
• Suid-Indiese kos uit 'n Udupi-restaurant
• Vada pav (die Indiese groenteburger): bekend as die gereg van Mumbai

Spesiale restaurante

Gewilde soekenjins waarmee u maklik restaurante kan vind, is onder meer Justdial, AskLaila en DizyLocal. Die soekenjins moet die adres, kontakbesonderhede en gebruikersgraderings (indien beskikbaar) van die spesifieke eetplek (as die naam verstrek word) verskaf, of 'n lys van die spyseniering vir die spesialiteit (bv. Seekos, kroeë, Chinese kos, ens.) op die plek wat voorgestel word (bv. Worli, Bandra, Suid-Mumbai, ens.).

• Seekos, Apurva (Fort regs van Horniman Circle). As u outentieke Indiese seekos wil eet, moet u die Bharat Excellensea besoek. Dit is langs die Horniman Circle en die Reserwebank van Indië. Dit word redelik duur. In die effens hoër prysklas is Trishna (by Kala Ghoda in Fort) en Mahesh Lunch Home (ook in Fort) baie gewild onder plaaslike inwoners en toeriste.

Noordwes

• Peshawari, Andheri, (by Maratha Sheraton). Sy susterrestaurant Bukhara in Delhi word erken as die beste Indiese restaurant ter wêreld. Probeer tandoori jhinga, die kebab-skottel, sikandari raan (skaapboud) en mango's en roomys (slegs gedurende die somer), Kebab Corner (Hotel Intercontinental), Copper Chimney (Worli) Khyber (Kala Ghoda) en Kareem's Malad Link Road in Malad W.

Japengo Cafe by CR2 Mall in Nariman Point bedien ook soesji. Tetsuma, aangrensend aan Prive (waarskynlik die beste nagklub in die stad), bedien 'n gemiddelde sushi, maar ander geregte is die moeite werd om te probeer.

Straatkosstalletjies

Daar is liedjies geskryf oor Mumbai se straatkos, en u sal vind dat die hype geregverdig is. U sal dit in elke straathoek vind, maar hulle is op strande en in treinstasies gekonsentreer.

• Bhelpuri-stalletjies, Verkoop wat in die res van Indië genoem sal word chaat. In Mumbai self word die term chaat selde gebruik.
• Bhurji, Eierbhurji of Paneer bhurji, 'n pampoentjie eiers en gekapte tamatie, ui, chili en baie olie. Aan die kant geëet met 'n bietjie pav. Probeer die Maker Chamber-area (naby Crossroads 2, Nariman Point).
• Chinese kosstalletjies, U vind hulle op baie plekke, maar hulle is veral gekonsentreer naby die Dadar-treinstasie. Hulle het almal 'n tipiese Indiese draai, en daarom word dit gereeld 'Indiese Chinese' genoem. Alhoewel dit lekker is, laat die higiëne van hierdie plekke veel te wense oor.
• Rol, In wese verskillende vleis en kaas wat gebraai word en bedien word met 'n bietjie Roti en speserye, dit is goedkoop en vrolik vir almal met 'n maag wat dit kan hanteer. Dit is bekend dat hulle pittig is, dus vra hulle altyd om dit sag te maak. Probeer Ayubs (Kala Ghoda), Bade Miyan (agter Taj en naby Colaba Causeway), Khao Gulli (Food Lane, naby Mahim Hindu Gymkhana) of Kareems (Bandra). Almal is veral besig na 'n nag se swaar drinkery.
• Toebroodjie staan, Uniek ontwikkel in Mumbai, sal u niks anders in Indië of in die wêreld kry nie.
• Vada pav staan, Gebraaide aartappel gevul in gisbrood. Ontwikkel om voeding te lewer aan meulwerkers in Mumbai se ontluikende meule. Nou kom hulle oral voor, veral in die treinstasies. Dit is 'n spesialiteit in Mumbai. Probeer in Vile Parle (Wes) die een van S.V Road naby Irla oorkant die Goklibai-skool. Een van die gewildste is oorkant Mithibai College, wat ongeveer 15 minute loop van die Vile Parle-stasie af is. Probeer ook die een buite Grant Road Station en Churchgate Station.

Wenk: goedkoop en smaaklike kosstalletjies is rondom die stad se kolleges gekonsentreer.

Straatkoskos in Indië is fantasties en vuil goedkoop (jy kan jouself vir £ 20 vul). Oorweeg egter goed wat u in u mond steek. Die gebruikte water is byna seker nie drinkbaar nie, dit lyk asof straatverkopers nie veel van higiëne of handewas verstaan ​​nie, en die standaarde vir voedselveiligheid is laag, en vlieë gons oor alles. Selfs inwoners bewaar straatkos tydens die moesons, wanneer siektes hoogty vier. As die stalletjie baie skoon lyk en as dit duidelik blyk dat dit Aquaguard of mineraalwater gebruik, moet u dit doen.

Outentieke Marathiese kookkuns

Individuele aanbiedings kan in Mumbai gevind word distrik artikels

Mumbai, wat die tuiste is van 'n groot etniese Marathi-gemeenskap, het sy aandeel aan noemenswaardige restaurante wat outentieke Marathiese kookkuns bied. Die meeste bied versnaperinge en gereelde etes aan. Van die versnaperinge om na te gaan, is Sabudana Wada, Batata Wada, Missal, Kanda Poha, Uppit (of Upma), Shira, Alu Wadi, Thalipith, Zunka Bhakari, ghavane (neer dosa) en vele meer. Twee noemenswaardige voorgeregte is Kokam Sarbat en Solkadhi, wat die beste tydens warm somers geniet word. Mense sê dat baie van hierdie outentieke Marathi-restaurante dit moeilik vind om kompetisies met ander moderne of kitskosrestaurante te oorleef, maar Gajali, Malvan Kinara, Sindhudurg en baie meer het hul eie bekoring en kliënte behou.

Udupi restaurante

Individuele aanbiedings kan in Mumbai gevind word distrik artikels

Mangalorianers (en udupi) vorm die hoë toeristepopulasies in Mumbai, en albei die stede het byna dieselfde kultuur en argitektuur. "Udupi" -restaurante (of "hotelle") is oral. Hulle dra die naam van die stad Udupi in Karnataka, maar moenie mislei word om te dink dat hulle spesialiseer in die kookkuns van Udupi nie. Hulle bedien omtrent alles, en dit is hul spesialiteit.

Hierdie restaurante is gewoonlik streng vegetaries en is deur migrante uit die distrik Dakshina Kannada in Karnataka (waarvan Udupi deel is) om die verhemelte van ander migrante uit die distrik tevrede te stel. Met verloop van tyd het hulle gewild geword as plekke om te hê Suid-Indiër kos. Namate die smaak van hul kliënte ontwikkel het, het die menu's ook soveel gedoen dat u nou ook Mughlai, Indiese Chinese, Bhelpuri en ander chaats kan vind, behalwe Suid-Indiese dinge. Verbasend genoeg bied sommige plekke ook nabootsings van pizzas, hamburgers en toebroodjies aan!

Dit is gesamentlike kitskos-gesamentlike restaurante en afsitrestaurante. Die rede om by hulle te gaan kuier, is nie om fyn fynproewers te eet nie, maar om goedkoop, lekker smaaklike en redelik higiëniese kos te hê. Daar is geen maklike manier om 'n Udupi-restaurant te identifiseer nie; hulle is nie 'n ketting van restaurante nie en hulle het miskien nie 'Udupi' op hul naam nie, daarom sal u moet vra.

Matunga (Sentraallyn) het die beste Suid-Indiese tarief in Mumbai. Daar is min restaurante wat wel erfenisterreine kan wees, want hulle is meer as 50 jaar oud en behou steeds hul ouwêreldse sjarme (en meubels).

Irani kafees

Individuele aanbiedings kan in Mumbai gevind word distrik artikels

Irani-kafees is persiese kafees wat deur 19de-eeuse Persiese migrante uit Iran geopen is. Hierdie kafees het 'n unieke lui atmosfeer, vertoon daaglikse bykomstighede, insluitend tandepasta agter die kassier, seep en wat nie (spesiaal gerig op vrywilligers) en meubels. Die meeste van hierdie kafees was op die hoek van die straat of gebou en is deur pendelaars gekies om tyd te spandeer. Dit was 'n gewone gesig om mense op hierdie plekke ure te sien spandeer wat koerant lees oor 'n koppie tee. Ongelukkig het die nuwe restaurante en kitskoskultuur hierdie kafees byna van die kaarte verwyder, alhoewel min bekendes daarvan hou Kyani & Co. en Olympia bly. Die gewrigte is veral bekend vir hul "Irani Chai", "Bun-Maska / Maska Pav" (brood en botter) en eieromelet. Dit is ook gewild onder verskillende snacks, soos Kheema-na-Patice, samosas, mava-na-cakes, ens. Een van die beste geregte wat byna altyd op die spyskaart is, is Kheema (berei van gemaalde vleis) en pav (brood). Moenie die Mawa-koek by Merwan & Co, 'n bedrywige Irani-kafee langs die Grant Road-stasie, mis nie en wees daar voor 09:00 wanneer die heerlike koeke opraak.

Thalis

As u 'n thali (vertaal as "bord") bestel, kry u 'n volledige maaltyd op u bord, met 'n roti of chappati, rys en baie verskillende soorte kerrie en wrongel. Om 'n thali te bestel, is 'n gewilde opsie as jy honger is en haastig is, want dit word gewoonlik vinnig bedien. Die meeste restaurante op middelvlak het 'n thali op die spyskaart, ten minste gedurende die middagete. Soms is dit "onbeperk", wat beteken dat sommige van die items alles is wat u kan eet. Die kelners bedien hulle aan u tafel.

Natuurlik vind u baie variëteite daarvan, sowel vegetaries as nie-vegetariërs. Daar is die Suid-Indiese thali. Die "Noord-Indiese" thali vertaal na Mughlai of Punjabi. Probeer Gujarati of Rajasthani thalis as u dit kan kry. Hulle is sondig vullend en smaaklik. Rajdhani (by Crawford Market) bedien thali's in die Rajasthani-styl, terwyl Aram (naby Mahim Church, Mahim), Ramanayak Udipi (by Matunga Station, oos) thalis in Suid-Indiese styl bedien en Shree Thakker Bhojanalaya (van Kalbadevi Road) af en fantastiese Gujarati thalis.

Kitskos kettings

Verbasend genoeg is daar geen kitskosketting in Mumbai wat Indiese kookkuns aanbied nie. Maar Westerse kettings soos McDonalds, Subway, Pizza hut, Dominos, Kentucky Fried Chicken, ens. Het baie winkels regoor die stad. Maar as u 'n moeë westerling is wat op soek is na die smaak van die bekende, moet u daarop let dat almal hul spyskaarte nogal sterk geïndianiseer het, sodat u die dinge daar net so eksoties sal vind as wat u Bambaiyya-kos gevind het. Maar, Barista, Koffie Koffiedag, en Smokin 'Joe's is almal Indiese kettings, hoewel hulle nie Indiese kos bedien nie. Terwyl Barista en Cafe Coffee Day, soos hul name aandui, koffie en gebak bedien, bedien Smokin 'Joe ordentlike pizzas en het sy hoofkantoor in Carmichael Rd, Mumbai. Internasionale koffiekettings soos The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Aromas, het winkels in Mumbai.

Naturals is 'n ketting met roomyswinkels wat smaaklike en onkonvensionele geure van roomyse bedien. Probeer hul sagte klapper of die roomys van koffie-okkerneut. Die hoofkantoor is in Juhu in die Westelike voorstede (vandaar die tagline - 'Ice Cream of Juhu Scheme'), maar dit het franchises op baie plekke, insluitend Marine Drive, Bandra, Nepean Sea Road, ens. Naturals is ook bekend vir sy seisoenale "Sitaphal" of Custard Apple-roomys. Baskins-Robbins is 'n internasionale roomysketting wat oral in die stad is. Daar is ook 'n aantal winkels in ander winkels wat Italiaanse Gelato-ys bedien.

Probeer die weelderige romerige pannekoeke en omelette by Crepe Station, Bandra. Dit word besit deur 'n bekende Bollywood-akteur, Dino Morea.

Wat om te eet

Om 'n plaaslike inwoner vir voorstelle te vra, is 'n prettige manier om nuwe dinge te probeer. Hier is 'n paar voorstelle:

• Bhel Puri & sev puri, 'N Klassieke mengelmoes van Mumbai, bhel-puri (of kortweg bhel), bestaan ​​meestal uit gepofte rys en verskillende speserye met 'n paar blatjangjies. U kan spesifiseer of u dit pittig of sag wil hê, en die ondernemer sal dit vir u maak. Dit is baie lekker en moet weer van die straat af gekry word om die regte smaak te kry. Die meeste mense stroom graag na die Juhu-strand om dit uit te probeer.
• Hapus (Alphonso) mango's'N Moet probeer as u in die somer in Mumbai is.
• Indies-Chinees, Niks soos gewone Chinese nie. Probeer die vir 'n tipiese Bambaiyya-geur Chinese Bhelpuri!.
• Mewad-ys, As u toevallig in Mumbai is, word dit aanbeveel dat u ys van die beroemde en duur woonstelle vermy en die goedkoop Mewad-ysstalletjies gaan uitprobeer. Hulle is 'n heerlike bederf teen hul prys en bied baie opsies. Die verkopers word oral in die strate aangetref, maar vermy diegene wat onhigiënies voorkom.
• Pani Puri, Die verkoper gee vir u 'n bord. Vervolgens neem hy 'n puri (dit lyk soos 'n gholfbal, maar bruin van kleur), maak 'n klein gaatjie daarin en doop die puri in twee potte. Hierdie flesse bevat water, die een pikant op 'n tamarinde-basis en die ander pittig op 'n kruisementbasis. Hy vul dit met 'n paar speserye en plaas die puri op jou bord. Jy kies dit met jou hand en druk die hele ding in jou mond. Om maagprobleme te voorkom, moet u slegs by verkopers wat water gebruik, koop.
• Pav Bhaji, Dit is deel van die straatkos-kultuur, dit is puree wat in speserye gekook word, met botter bedek is en peperwarm met paw bedien word. Wyd beskikbaar.
• Vada Pav, die vada is 'n kapokaartappel. Pav is 'n soort brood wat sy oorsprong in Mumbai het. (Die woord kom van die Portugese woord "pão", vir brood). Die aartappelpattie is in die brood ingebou. Liberale hulp van drie soorte blatjang word by die toebroodjie gevoeg om 'n smaaklike versnapering te maak. Dit is algemeen beskikbaar op straat en kos gewoonlik ongeveer £ 6 per stuk. Vermy dit as u ongemaklik voel met die higiëne van 'n spesifieke stalletjie. In daardie geval eet u by, Jumbo King Vada Pav afsetpunte, wat byna by alle treinstasies in die stad gevind word, is 'n higiëniese en veiliger opsie.
• Variasies van die wêreld kookkuns soos Tandoori Chicken Pizzas, die Bombay Masala Pizza of McAloo Tikki hamburgers.

Kantel

Wip word nie verwag nie, maar sal waardeer word. As 'n plek egter dienskoste op die rekening insluit, hoef u nie 'n ekstra fooi agter te laat nie. Let op die verskil tussen diensbelasting en dienskoste. Diensbelasting gaan aan die regering en nie aan die personeel nie.

Drink

Kroeë en kroeë

Drink & bestuur Bestuur onder die invloed van alkohol word in Indië as 'n ernstige oortreding beskou. In die geval van 'n ongeluk handel die oortreders van drankritte met erns. Die straf is 'n boete en / of gevangenisstraf tot 6 maande. Die bestuurslisensie is vir minstens ses maande opgeskort.

'N Polisie-onderdrukking (Junie 2012) van baie gewilde kroeë en klubs is aan die gang, dus wees versigtig as u kroeë van laer tot middel reeks besoek. Daar is kroeë op feitlik elke straathoek en baie van hulle adverteer hulself as 'familie' kroeë en restaurante, wat daarop dui dat dit hoofsaaklik restaurante is waar 'n mens ook kan drink. Ander plekke is hoofsaaklik kroeë, waarvan sommige dalk slordig is. In Suid-Mumbai en in die Westelike voorstede sal u waarskynlik baie plekke vind waar buitelanders uithang.

Moembaai aanvaar vroue meer as die res van Indië. Dit is onwaarskynlik dat 'n vrou wat 'n drankie bestel, selfs in die middel van die kroeg wenkbroue laat lig, maar as u alleen is, moet u miskien u veiligheid oplet.

Die naglewe in Mumbai strek oor die spektrum van optredes by vyfsterhotelle tot diskoteke. Dansstawe waarby jong, volledig geklede vroue betrokke is om meestal op Hindi-film en popmusiek te dans, is deur die regering gesluit omdat hulle die sedes "verdorwe" het. Die hooggeregshof het beslis dat die onderdrukking onwettig was, maar dit sal nog 'n rukkie duur voordat dit weer oopgestel word, aangesien daar tegniese aspekte is wat uitgesorteer moet word.

In Mumbai is alkohol baie makliker beskikbaar as baie stede in Indië.

LGBT-opsies

Daar is al 'n lewendige toneel vir gays, maar ook sosiale en politieke netwerke, selfs as dit ondergronds is. U moet egter u huiswerk doen voordat u daar aankom, aangesien LGBT-byeenkomsterreine en -organisasies nie gepubliseer word of beskikbaar is by plaaslike afsetpunte nie. Bombay Dost (Bombay Friends), die enigste tydskrif vir die gemeenskap, is egter in 2009 gesluit en herbegin. In 2009 word 'n groot deel van die HBT-toneel in Mumbai gekoördineer deur middel van sosiale netwerk-webwerwe en groepe. Wees uiters versigtig; rooftogte, hustlers, en selfs polisie-verstrengeling is nie ongehoord nie.

Koffiewinkels

Daar is baie koffiewinkels in en rondom Mumbai. Probeer die Kafee Koffiedag en Barista kettings. Aan die einde van 2012 is drie Starbucks-winkels in Mumbai geopen, en meer sal waarskynlik ook volg. Dit is die beste in die stad en bedien ook mooi koffie vir goedkoop. Daar is die Kafee Mocha 'n reeks koffiewinkels wat ook hookas met vrugtesmaak bedien - rook in Suid-Asië. Probeer dit as 'n klein koffie- en koekieplek is Teobroma, dit het 'n afsetgebied by Cusrow Baug in Colaba. Diegene wat op soek is na 'n meer inheemse vorm van koffie, kan die filterkoffie, 'n melkagtige koffie met oorsprong uit Suid-Indië, by enige Udupi-restaurant probeer.

Slaap

Dit is baie moeilik om goedkoop hotelle in Mumbai te vind. As u 'n toeris of sakereisiger is, moet u dalk in Suid-Mumbai bly, dit is waar die sakekern en die toeristiese gebiede is. Gebrek aan ruimte beteken dat selfs die goedkoopste hotel stratosferiese tariewe hef. Die toestand van openbare vervoer en verkeer beteken dat dit nie regtig 'n goeie keuse is om nêrens anders te bly nie. Dit is in elk geval nie veel beter as u na hotelle naby die lughawe soek nie. U moet na die Westelike voorstede in daardie geval. Daar is baie gastehuise in Colaba, waar u die meeste buitelandse reisigers met goedkoop verblyf vind. Ander goedkoop hotelle word naby treinstasies aangetref, soos Dadar of Santa cruz, maar die meeste van hulle is absolute vullishope. Een YMCA is 'n veilige en ekonomiese plek om in Mumbai te bly. Redelike pryse is beskikbaar in die Colaba-, Bombay Central-, Andheri- en CBD Belapur-takke.

Een goedkoop alternatief is om as betalende gas by 'n plaaslike gesin te woon. 'N Lys met beskikbare gesinne kan verkry word by die Toerisme-kantoor van die Regering van Indië (91 22 2220 7433) oorkant Churchgate-treinstasie.

Aan die ander kant, as daar geen geld is nie, kan u in die Taj in Colaba (die oudste in Indië), die Leela Kempinski, die ITC Grand Maratha of die JW Marriott Mumbai, die Renaissance Mumbai Hotel & Convention Center bly. Hotellyste is op die distriksbladsye.

Kampeer

Of u nou met u nabye vriende wil kuier, tyd saam met u gesin wil spandeer of wil wegbeweeg van betonoerwoud, u vind 'n oorvloed van plekke in die omgewing van Mumbai.

Kampeer kan veilig gedoen word op plekke soos:

• Kaas Lake - op die Kaas-plato (bekend vir sy blomme)
• Lonavala - heuwelstasie in die distrik Pune
  • Rajmachi - naby Lonavala en twee beroemde forte
  • Tungarli-meer - naby Lonavala
  • Valvan Lake - perseel van die Valvandam in Lonavala
• Mahableshwar - die bron van die Krishna-rivier (Satara-distrik)
• Matheran - heuwelstasie (Raigad-distrik)
• Panchgani - klein stad (distrik Satara)
• Kashid & Phansad - ligging van die Phansad Bird Sanctuary

Verbind

Landlyne

Die area vir Mumbai is "22" (voorvoegsel "91" as u van buite Indië skakel). Telefoonnommers is agt syfers lank, maar soms vind u 'n nommer van sewe syfers. Dit is waarskynlik 'n ou notering. Hulle het 'n paar jaar gelede die oorskakeling van sewe na agt syfers gemaak toe hulle toegelaat het dat private diensverskaffers telefoon kon aanbied. Voorvoeg net 'n "2" op die nommer, en dit sal goed werk.

Betaaltelefone

Telefoonhokkies is regoor die stad te vinde. Alhoewel dit muntstukke is, is daar gewoonlik iemand wat die plek bestuur. (Die telefone is gewoonlik aan 'n winkel langs die pad geheg.) U moet aanhou om ₹ 1-muntstukke in die gleuf te plaas om die gesprekstyd te verleng, dus hou 'n verandering van £ 1-munte by u. Die persoon wat die hokkie bestuur, sal dit gewoonlik hê. As u 'n stand gemerk STD / ISD vind, kan u internasionaal of enige plek in die land skakel. Fooie word gehef volgens die tyd wat spandeer word en 'n meter loop om u tyd by te hou. U betaal wanneer u klaar is. Dikwels is dit moeilik om een ​​te vind wat vroegoggend of laat in die nag oop is.

Selfone

Selfoondekking in die stad is uitstekend. Daar is baie diensverskaffers wat 'n wye verskeidenheid planne aanbied. Onder hulle is The MTNL, Vodafone, Airtel, Dolfyn, Vertroue, en Tata Indicom. Dit kan 'n goeie idee wees om 'n selfoon te koop en een van die voorafbetaalde planne te gebruik om u aan te sluit terwyl u in die stad is.

Alle mobiele nommers het tien syfers en begin met 'n "9", "8" of "7". Moenie die voorvoegsel vir mobiele nommers skakel nie. As u nie by 'n mobiele nommer uitkom nie, probeer om 'n '0' by te voeg voordat u dit skakel.

As gevolg van veiligheidsbedreigings, moet u formele identifikasie verskaf om 'n SIM-kaart te koop.

Kuberkafees

Kuberkafees word in feitlik elke straathoek aangetref en die tariewe is redelik laag. Hulle het waarskynlik nie tred gehou met die vooruitgang in hardeware of sagteware nie, dus as u uself in een daarvan bevind, moet u nie verbaas wees as u vassteek met 'n baie klein monitor nie, Windows XP en Internet Explorer 5.0. Ook datasekuriteit kan 'n probleem wees. As voorsorgmaatreël, verander u wagwoord nadat u dit op 'n kuberkafee gebruik het of privaat / incognitoblaai.

WiFi

In baie dele van Mumbai sal dit moeilik wees om WiFi te vind, maar byna alle treinstasies is opgegradeer met 'RailWire' WiFi wat deur Google aangedryf word, waarmee u 45 minute met 'n snelheid van 5-10 Mbps kan blaai. RailWire Wi-Fi vereis dat u verifieer met u mobiele nommer en OTP. WiFi is ook beskikbaar by die meeste hotelle en restaurante. Lughawe-WiFi word voorsien deur Vodafone.

Pos- en koerierdienste

• Indiese posdiens
• Privaat koeriermaatskappye
  • DHL
  • UPS,
  • TNT, DTDC ens.

Die hoofkantoor van die Indiese Posdiens is gehuisves by GPO, 'n manjifieke koloniale argitektuur op sy eie; langs die C.S.T. treinstasie. Die ander hoofkantoor kan gevind word by Dadar (E) op Ambedkar Rd.

Bly veilig

Geweldsmisdaad in Mumbai is min of meer soos enige ander groot Indiese stad.

Dit is die beste om aan die kant van veiligheid te dwaal en volgens u plaaslike omgewing op te tree. Hier is 'n paar basiese veiligheidswenke:

• Hou u geld en kredietkaarte te alle tye veilig. Hou altyd kontant in, want baie plekke neem nie kaarte nie.
• Vertoon nie openlik 500 en 2 000 note in die openbaar nie. Die beskikbare geldeenheidsnotas is ₹ 10, ₹ 20, ₹ 50, ₹ 100, ₹ 500 en 2,000. Die beskikbare muntstukke is 1, 2, 5 en 5. Pasop dat iemand vir u geldnote van enige ander benaming gee (alhoewel dit baie onwaarskynlik is; aangesien dit met die Reserwebank van Indië, die sentrale bank van Indië, geruil moet word). Die Indiese regering het in November 2016 die ou valuta- en 500 ₹-geldeenhede gedemonteer.
• Daar was gevalle waar Kaali-Peeli (swart-geel) taxibestuurders mense, meestal toeriste, verlei deur langer roetes te neem, ekstra bagasie te vra, met die meter te peuter en die passasier te mislei deur ₹ 500 met 'n £ 100-briefie in breuk te verruil. sekondes en die passasier laat glo dat hy / sy 'n £ 100-briefie oorhandig het. Om dus te verhoed dat u mislei word, verkies u app-gebaseerde taxidienste soos Ola en Uber as pendel.
• Pasop vir sakkerollers op busse en treine. Moenie u beursie of ander waardevolle artikels in u sak se sakke plaas nie, sodat iemand dit kan uitglip sonder dat u dit agterkom.
• Wees ook versigtig vir mobiele, ketting- of sakkies wat in digbevolkte plekke werk, soos treinstasies, besige paaie en verkeersseine.
• Vroue wat met die trein reis, veral op roetes buite die piek, moet in die tweede klas reis waar minstens 'n paar medepassasiers ook gevind word.
• Vroue (veral Westerlinge) moet oorvol plekke vermy, u kan wel betas raak. Gevalle van mans wat vroue knyp of aanraak, kom algemeen voor in openbare plekke, waaronder mooier nagplekke. Skep 'n toneel as dit met u gebeur, sal daar genoeg mense tot u verdediging wees. As u ooit bekommerd is oor u veiligheid, maak 'n luide toneel in Mumbai. Dit is 'n uiters druk stad, en daar is altyd iemand wat bereid is om te help.
• Vroue moet nooit hysbakke van vreemdelinge neem nie. Westerse vrouetoeriste moet daarop let dat as hulle 'n diskotek of kroeg in Mumbai of Indië besoek, nie hysbakke neem of selfs te vriendelik raak met vreemdelinge nie. U sal byna seker vervelig raak, indien nie erger nie. Many Indian men presume that if you're foreign you must be easy.
• Don't ever let an auto or taxi you are traveling in pick up any more people, or pull over before your final destination.
• Police can sometimes be almost as shady as criminals in Mumbai. At night, women should ensure if they are ever stopped by police, there needs to be a female police officer present or they are well within their rights in demanding the presence of a woman cop.
• Think twice about eating food that has not been thoroughly heated. This may be especially true if you're eating street food.

Stay healthy

• Food As elsewhere in India, be careful with what you eat. Outside of major tourist hotels and restaurants, stay away from raw leafy vegetables, egg-based dressings like mayonnaise and minced meat are particularly risky. In short, stick to boiled, baked, fried, or peeled goods.
• Water Opinions on tap water vary, but most visitors choose to stick to the bottled stuff. Large bottles of water can be purchased at a very low cost. When buying water from street vendors, make sure the lid is sealed, there have been cases of bottles being filled with tap water, and sold as new.
• Fitness Numerous fitness centers exist throughout the city. Many exercise facilities and spas offer 24 hour memberships for visitors, and are a popular way to unwind after a long day of touring in Mumbai.
• Smog can reach unhealthful levels, especially during the dry season. This, coupled with the summer heat and humidity can make spending time outdoors quite unpleasant.
