Formerly known as Bombay, and still sometimes referred to by some by its old name, Mumbai is the capital city of the state of Maharashtra and the biggest one in India - both in size and in population. It was initially formed by seven islands on the Indian Konkan coastline. These were eventually merged together to form the island city that it is now today. At present, Mumbai has an estimated population of over 20 million, making it one of the world's most populated cities. 

Nicknamed as the “Maximum City,” Mumbai is India’s commercial, financial and entertainment capital, which is highlighted by the presence of Bollywood, the world-renowned Indian film and television industry.

At Mani Bhavan, you will find several mementos from Gandhi’s life, including books, biographies, photographs, and more. (Bag policy: To avoid any hassle during your visit, drop off your luggage at a Bounce location nearby.)

Here, you can find over 50,000 rare pieces, including sculptures, paintings, heirlooms, excavated artifacts, and more. (Bag policy: Guests are required to leave bags or luggage at the museum’s baggage counter. As an alternative, leave your things with Bounce.)

The museum also showcases a constantly-changing collection of artworks by renowned Indian artists. (Bag policy: The museum has a strict policy about bringing belongings inside the venue.

 Shopping  

Mumbai has a chaotic but exciting shopping scene that caters to all sorts of buyers – from designer brand and outlet lovers to those who don’t want to break the bank. From street markets to malls, you’ll find ways to spend some money on fabulous finds in Mumbai. 

• Colaba Causeway: More than just a shopping destination, a visit to Colaba Causeway is a quintessential Mumbai experience. The crowd at Colaba is massive, with stores selling just about anything you can imagine – from clothes and bags to more eccentric items such as maps and grains of rice. Because of its popularity, the sellers here are used to seeing tourists. They can speak multiple languages to cater to all customers. 

• Chor Bazaar: This flea market may just be the most vibrant and frenzied one you’ll ever visit in your life. Its name literally translates to “thieves’ market,” and some say that some vendors sell stolen goods here, although that’s still up for debate. At Chor Bazaar, expect to find some really good deals on shoes, mobile phones, accessories, antiques, and other items. 

• Linking Road: Located in Bandra, Linking Road is the perfect mix of traditional and modern, and the classic “East meets West.” The area is lined with street vendors and shack-style boutiques that sell some clothes, jewelry, shoes, and accessories. On the other hand, there are also some upscale shops and designer brand stores for those who want to splurge a little.  

 Dining 

Mumbai is a culinary paradise that provides delectable local cuisine as well as hints of international flavors. The food culture here is diverse, and some of the best restaurants in all of India can be found within the city. While it’s difficult to narrow down your choices on where to eat in Mumbai, the following restaurants should no doubt be on your list.

• The Table: Consistently ranked as one of the best restaurants in Asia, The Table is one of Mumbai’s culinary gems. San Francisco native Alex Sanchez heads the kitchen and provides a menu using only the finest, locally-produced ingredients. The Table bestsellers include yellowfish tuna tataki, lobster sliders, and beet and mascarpone risotto. 

• Leopold Café: Serving good food since 1871, Leopold Café is among the oldest surviving restaurants in Mumbai and has gained a following, largely in part due to its role in the cult novel Shantaram. The restaurant also has a grim history when it was targeted during the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Thankfully, the restaurant was able to bounce back and continues to be a local favorite, with renowned dishes like vegetarian pasta, prawn chili, and red pepper chicken.

• O Pedro: From the same team behind another famous local dining spot, The Bombay Canteen, O Pedro is an upscale Goan restaurant and bar known for its unique and delectable menu and creative cocktails. Pro tip: try the house-baked sourdough, known as poee.
