The Indian city of Mumbai is definitely worth a visit to those who are a connoisseur of beautiful architecture. I was in this city passage, and the city impressed me by the majestic architecture, which the English colonialists left behind. Special pleasure gave me a visit to the island of Elephant and the cave temples located on it. I would go to this city specifically, if there was no transit transplant here, I'm not sure, since a lot in the city of various kinds of fraudsters, beggars and all sorts of scams who are trying to fool and rob and rob a white man since the airport and continuing Do it all over the route, so vigilance can not be lost for a minute.
If you have only one day in Mumbai, it is advisable to build a route in this way: order a formal taxi with a fixed price list in the airport room and get to the monument "Gates of India" (negotiations with informal taxi drivers and drivers of Tuk-Tukov will only lead to loss of time and nerves, without having any economy). Near the monument you can take a walk, make a photo, on the same area there is a hotel with a beautiful architecture of Taj Mahal, which the Hindus is called the palace. Everywhere there are suspicious personalities, many people who want to take a picture of you or take pictures with you, so you need to continue not to lose vigilance and follow your things.
From the "gate of India" every fifteen minutes, boats are departed to the island of Elefense, where the ancient cave temples are located, which I personally impressed me most, especially alone, the biggest cave, where in addition to many stone figures impressive giant head of Shiva, with four persons who look at different sides of the world.
And around the caves - all the same Mumbai infrastructure - a lot of people, fuss, deception in a cafe and everywhere, where only you can not.
Returning to the boat back to the "goal of India" (a ticket must be bought at once into two sides, sell tickets immediately before entering the boat), it's best to walk to the Victoria Staishen station.
This is an excellent opportunity to see all the most beautiful buildings of the colonial era - the postage, churches, the courthouse, and the most beautiful and majestic building in Mumbai - Victoria Station. From "Victoria Steishen" to the airport is already handing hand. The program at least an excursion to Mumbai can be considered made.
