Mumbai is a vibrant city in which you can hear of rags-to-riches stories almost everyday. A magnet for people from all over the country, the biggest challenge faced by the city today is its bursting population. Presented to the British by a Portuguese princess, this city was originally a collection of seven fishing villages; some of the villages being located on islands away from the mainland. Land reclamation drives have made it what is it today.

Dubbed as 'The City That Never Sleeps', you will find activity on its streets any time of the night or day. It's a fairly safe city with a culture that allows an unescorted woman to return home from work past midnight without fearing for her safety.
