6. Mumbai- The city of Dreams
Think Mumbai and you think Glitz, Glamour, Movies, Fashion, Finance
and of course Bhel Puri. Probably one of the most cosmopolitan cites in India,
Mumbai is as diverse an experience as you can imagine. Dotted with
impressive old monuments like Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, architectural
masterpieces like the splendid Taj Mahal Hotel and the famous skyscrapers which
dominate the Mumbai skyline; this is a city full of surprises and a tourist’s
delight
For the foodies, Mumbai boasts of some amazing street food
like Pav Bhaji, Bhelpuri, Vada Pao and Pani puri. Although the hygiene
standards might not be top class, the taste of the street food makes it worth a
try. In case you feel adventurous and have a strong stomach, head over to Khau
Galli where you are sure to find some of the best street foods in Mumbai.
In terms of tourist places in Mumbai, popular destinations
include The Gateway of India, Marine Drive (semi-circular shaped natural bay
along the sea coast), Hanging Gardens, Juhu Beach, Ajanta Alora Caves,
Elephanta Islands and Haji Ali Dargah (Mosque). Also, if you are a shopaholic,
check out the Colaba
Causeway, Flora Fountain and Churchgate and the
bazaars near Jyotiba Phule Market. And of course remember to bargain hard.
All said and done, Mumbai is the city that dazzles with its
combination of old world monuments, futuristic skyline, Bollywood Movies, great
shopping avenues, tourist destinations, pristine seaside and a lot more. The
city of dreams, where anything seems possible makes it to our number 6 on the
best tourist places in India.
