Current live information

Did you know?

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is a major international airport in Mumbai, India. Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is a densely populated metropolis on India's west coast. India's largest city is also its financial centre.

Places of interest

The Gateway of India is Mumbai's most famous landmark – a colonial triumphal arch right on the waterfront, serving as both a historical symbol and a popular meeting point for locals and visitors alike. Not far away, on an island in the Arabian Sea, lie the Elephanta Caves, with impressive Hindu temple complexes carved into the rock, dating back to the 5th century.

The winding coastal road Marine Drive, also known as the «Queen's Necklace», offers spectacular views of the Arabian Sea, particularly at sunset, and at night the streetlights shimmer like a sparkling string of pearls.

An architectural highlight is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus – a vibrant train station and UNESCO World Heritage Site that captivates with its blend of Victorian Gothic style and Indian elements.

In the midst of the sprawling metropolis lies Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a surprisingly green sanctuary with hiking trails, ancient cave temples, and even wild leopards. An exceptional place where the hustle and bustle of city life meets nature in an unexpected way.
