When first visiting Mumbai, visitors should prepare for a sensory onslaught of sights, sounds, and experiences that perfectly capture the dynamic nature of the city. They will find themselves in a vibrant city full of activity as soon as they get off the aircraft, with a fresh adventure waiting around every corner and a street corner telling a tale. While South Mumbai's tall buildings present the city's contemporary side, the city's famous Gateway of India greets visitors to its historic core.
