Essential Travel Tips
Transportation: Mumbai's local trains are its lifeline, but for tourists, taxis (black and yellow cabs), ride-sharing apps (Uber/Ola), and auto-rickshaws (in the suburbs) are convenient. Be prepared for traffic.
Dress Code: While Mumbai is a modern city, especially when visiting religious sites, it's advisable to dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered). Lightweight, breathable fabrics are best due to the humidity.
Cash & Cards: Carry small denominations of Indian Rupees (INR) for street food, small shops, and local transport. Major restaurants and stores accept cards.
Hydration: Mumbai can be hot and humid. Drink plenty of bottled water to stay hydrated. Avoid tap water.
Bargaining: At local markets like Colaba Causeway and Chor Bazaar, bargaining is expected and part of the experience.
Safety: Mumbai is generally safe, but be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas. Keep valuables secure and avoid walking alone late at night in unfamiliar areas.

Local Insights & Tips
Mumbai thrives on its 'spirit of Mumbai' – a resilient, fast-paced, and welcoming attitude. Embrace the local pace, try street food from reputable vendors, and engage with the friendly locals. Don't be surprised by the coexistence of extreme wealth and poverty; it's a stark reality of the city. The city is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and festivals, offering a truly diverse experience. Marathi is the official language, but Hindi and English are widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. Be open to impromptu experiences, as Mumbai often surprises you with its hidden gems.
