Destination guide
Know before you go
Popular for Mumbai city energy, sea views and green hill escapes

Food to try
Mumbai is a street food capital: vada pav, pav bhaji, bhel puri on Chowpatty and Irani cafe bun maska. Add Malvani coastal seafood, Parsi dhansak and the Mohammed Ali Road kebabs during Ramadan.
Culture & customs
Mumbai runs on ambition, film and the daily commute, and its colonial Gothic and art deco fronts are on the UNESCO list. Ganesh Chaturthi in late summer takes over the entire city for ten days.
Best time to visit
October to February
Winter is dry and mild. June to September is a serious monsoon that floods parts of the city, though Lonavala is at its greenest exactly then, which is why locals drive up.
