Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is much more than just a label. It holds the nickname "city of dreams" due to its lively film industry, but it's also recognised for housing one of the world's largest slums, Dharavi. The city was formerly known as Bombay and was named after the Goddess Mumba Devi, whom the early Koli tribe inhabitants worshipped. There are various popular attractions in Mumbai, including the Gateway of India, Taj Palace Hotel, Nariman Point, and numerous Parsi cafes that have been a significant part of its food culture for decades. If you are a non-native and find yourself in Mumbai due to work commitments, here's a guide on spending 24 hours in this city that never sleeps.
