Mumbai is best known for its tropical climate, throbbing streets and spicy cuisine. One of the best places to start exploring the city is Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Gateway of India and National Gallery of Modern Art will give you a sense of the city’s history and art, and you’ll see all the colors and sounds of Mumbai on Marine Drive, where you can sample some of India's signature spicy dishes. And if you want to venture out of the city, be sure to visit the Elephanta Caves which are just 8 kilometers outside Mumbai.
