What can I see in the city of Mumbai?
Why read this?
Often people like to visit the city of Mumbai, either from another place within India or from outside India. Am sure there are a lot of guiding websites out there which are probably more well researched than this blog. Nevertheless when recently a friend of mine called to check what he could show his son inside three days without traveling outside Mumbai, it set me thinking especially since I have myself stayed in Mumbai for a long time now, but frankly havenot seen much of Mumbai myself.
