Mumbai
Areas we cover
Mumbai is not one city but a string of neighbourhoods with very different characters, and what works in Colaba does not work in Powai. These pages set out what each area is actually like, how long it takes to reach, and what that means for arranging a booking there.

- Andheri West — Residential, social and considerably more relaxed than its eastern half.
