Browse and explore the best travel guides in Mumbai.
Mumbai is India's biggest, fastest city: home of Bollywood, colonial-era landmarks like the Gateway of India and Victoria Terminus, and a seafront promenade that never quite sleeps. Street food, art-deco districts, and some of Asia's most ambitious new business districts sit side by side.
The Bandra Kurla Complex hosts world-scale conferences at venues like the Jio World Centre, while South Mumbai keeps the historic hotels and harbour views. Local trains and the growing metro move the city, though traffic shapes every plan.

Entry rules, stay length and passport validity by nationality.
November to February is the pleasant, dry season. The monsoon runs roughly June to September, bringing heavy daily rain.
Prepaid taxis, ride-hailing apps, and the metro connect the airport to the city. South Mumbai takes 60-90 minutes in traffic; Bandra Kurla Complex is much closer at 20-30 minutes.
Ride-hailing apps are easiest for visitors, and the expanding metro beats road traffic on covered routes. Local suburban trains are the city's backbone but are extremely crowded at rush hour.
Mumbai is one of India's safer big cities for visitors. Use normal big-city awareness with belongings, agree taxi fares or use apps, and take care crossing roads.
