About this experience
Experience the history, culture and the frenetic ‘workaholic’ pace of Aamchee (Our) -Mumbai!
A city steeped in history, invasions and colonization by the Muslims, Portuguese, British, resulted in a variety of cultural and architecture styles that peacefully co-exist with the indigenous. One area is reputed to have the highest number of churches per sq. km anywhere in the world! A plethora of magnificent buildings in the ‘Fort’ area exudes British fragrance. The Art Deco seafront is a stunning sight for sore eyes!
The excellent harbour made it a great port and Indians from every nook and corner came here in search of livelihood – and Mumbai, the City of Dreams never disappoints!
All kinds of business, work makes the city very fast-paced and vibrant, earning it the sobriquet of ‘The City that never sleeps’!
