A flamboyant metro city of India, Mumbai (Mumbai City Map in this page) has also got an innate and natural endowment in it to heal all wounds inflicted on it by nature or, ironically, by its own inhabitants. If you're here to work, beware of the regionalist Mumbaikars; if you're a popular Bollywood figure, keep a distance from the Dawoods; and if you're simply a shopkeeper, you'll have weekend trysts with the gangsters who live with the money extorted from people like you. Reel life and real life are enmeshed beyond distinction here, the latter may bite an average Mumbai inhabitant occasionally, though. Especially when it rains and the roads are clogged with water, bringing to fore the shortcomings of the drainage system underneath. Mumbai is overcrowded, resembling a balloon about to burst; the island nature of the city limits further expansion, thankfully.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum, Chowpatty Beach, Colaba Causeway, Elephanta Caves, etc. are a few of the innumerous tourist places in Mumbai. MapsofWorld.com also presents you Mumbai Street Map, Mumbai Tourist Map, Mumbai Subway Map, Mumbai Airport Map and Mumbai University Maps elsewhere in the section. We also have separate pages for other Mumbai attractions like, Marine Drive Mumbai, Prince of Wales Museum Mumbai, and Victoria Terminus Mumbai. Hotels in Mumbai range from Five Star Deluxe to Budget Hotels Mumbai. A few of the Mumbai Hotels are The Oberoi Deluxe, Le Royal Meridien, Mercure Guestline and The Residency.
Originally called by the British colonizers as "Bombay", much of Mumbai's architecture is reminiscent of Victorian age. Though the financial and commercial hub of India - one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Mumbai trails far behind many other cities when it comes to the question of proper roads and housing facilities. Widening income gap between different sections of people, increasing crime rates among women and unholy gangster-terrorist nexuses do not augur well with a city of incomparable natural gifts and centuries long heritage.
