Mumbai (formerly called Bombay) is a densely populated city on India's west coast. On the Mumbai Harbor waterfront stands the iconic Gateway of India stone arch, built by the British Raj in 1924. Offshore, nearby Elephanta Island holds ancient cave temples dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. The city's also famous as the heart of the Bollywood film industry. Mumbai is big. It's India's largest city and is full of dreamers and hard-laborers, starlets and gangsters, stray dogs and exotic birds, artists and servants, fishermen and millionaires, and lots and lots of people. Mumbai is India's financial powerhouse, fashion epicenter and a pulse point of religious tension. The heart of the city contains some of the grandest colonial-era architecture on the planet but explore a little more and you'll uncover unique bazaars, hidden temples, hipster enclaves and India's premier restaurants and nightlife. With so much to see and do, Mumbai is a great place to visit, and, luckily, there are some great, budget-friendly accommodations to use as a base for exploring.
