Bombay

A melting pot of cultures, Bombay is a city where modern skyscrapers stand alongside Victorian gothic buildings and slums border some of the most expensive real estate in the country. The industrial and commercial capital of India and the home of Bolywood, it also serves as a good entry and exit point for visitors flying directly from European cities. Your stay could include a visit to the Prince of Wales Museum, the Jajangir Art Gallery, the Mahalaxmi Temple, the Hanging Gardens and the Crawford Market Area. You may also take a boat ride to the cave temples on Elephanta Island.
