Mumbai - Mumbai

Mumbai je ogroman grad s nekoliko njih okrug članci koji sadrže informacije o određenim znamenitostima, restoranima i smještaju.

Mumbaiju (Marathski: मुंबई, Hindski: मुम्बई) (državni ured za turizam), kozmopolitska metropola, ranije poznata kao Bombay, je najveći grad u Indija i glavni grad države Maharaštra. Mumbai je izvorno bio konglomerat od sedam otoka na Konkan obala koja se s vremenom spojila u otočni grad Bombay. Otok je zauzvrat nastao sa susjednim otokom Salsette Veliki Bombay. Procjenjuje se da grad broji 21 milijun stanovnika (2011.), što ga čini jednim od najmnogoljudnijih gradova na svijetu.

Mumbai je nesumnjivo komercijalni glavni grad Indije i jedan je od dominantnih lučkih gradova u zemlji. Priroda Mumbaija kao najeklektičnijeg i najsvjesnijeg indijskog grada simbolizirana je u nazočnosti Bollywood unutar grada, središta globalno utjecajnog hindskog filma i TV industrije. U njemu su smještene i najveće indijske populacije siromašnih četvrti te indijski Vrata izgrađena na rivi luke Mumbai za vrijeme britanskog Raja.

Ime Bombay dolazi od Bom Bahia ("dobar zaljev" na portugalskom), imena koje je dao istraživač Francis Almeida. Mumbai je dobio ime po božici Mumbi devi iz zajednice Koli.

Okruzi

Zapadni i srednji, istočni i zapadni Posjetitelj predgrađa Mumbaija brzo će naučiti da su predgrađa podijeljena na "zapadna" i "središnja". Također ćete čuti za "zapadnu" i "istočnu" stranu. Evo kratkog objašnjenja zbunjenih. Zapadno i srednje predgrađe dobilo je ime po lokalnim željezničkim prugama koje opslužuju dotična područja. Zapadna i Srednja željeznica željezničke su pruge koje opslužuju zapadni i središnji dio Zagreba Indija. Oboje imaju sjedište u Mumbaiju. Lučka linija je napojna linija koja povezuje lučka područja sa središnjom i zapadnom linijom. Također pruža povezanost sa sjeveroistočnim predgrađima Mumbaija i dalje za Navi Mumbai. Većina tih područja ne leži ni blizu luke. Gotovo svi lokaliteti u Mumbaiju imaju "zapadnu" i "istočnu" stranu. "Zapad" znači zapadno od željezničke pruge, a "Istok" znači istočno od željezničke pruge. Na primjer, Mulund (zapad) znači da je to područje zapadno od željezničke stanice Mulund. U adresama su zapad i istok skraćeni, tj. Mulund (W) i Mulund (E).

Mumbai je grad izgrađen u uzastopnim valovima migracija. Kvartovi su svoj karakter stekli iz zajednica koje su se tu prvo nastanile. Ove su četvrti previšebrojne da bi ih se moglo navesti i ne postoji uobičajeno prihvaćen način grupiranja tih četvrti u veće četvrti. Ali otprilike, od juga do sjevera, tako se grad razvijao.

Shvati

Mumbai je živahna, raznolika metropola s vlastitim štihom. Poduzetnički duh i pulsirajući ritam života pruža oštar kontrast većini ostatka Indije.

Ime

Mnogo se raspravljalo o izvornom imenu grada. Neki kažu da je trenutno ime grada Mumbaija izvorno ime; i eponim je izveden od "Mumba", imena lokalne hinduističke božice Mumbadevi i "Aai", što u marathskom jeziku znači "majka". Drugi tvrde da je Bombay anglizirana verzija Bom Bahije, imena koje su Portugalci dali u značenju "Lijepi zaljev", a kasnije su ga Britanci učinili popularnim kao ime države Bombay.

Ime je službeno promijenjeno iz Bombay u Mumbai 1995. Iako se koriste i Bombay i Mumbai, ljudi koji izričito koriste "Bombay" uglavnom nisu maratski govornici, dok zagovornici "Mumbaya" uglavnom govore maratski. Na zapadu je Mumbai postao prihvaćeniji kako bi se izbjegle kontroverze. Grad se također rado naziva आमची मुंबई ("naš Mumbai").

Povijest

Iako sedam otoka koji sada čine grad imaju dugu zabilježenu povijest kao i bilo koje drugo mjesto u Indiji, njihov put prema gradu Mumbaiju doista je započeo 1498. godine, kada su ih Portugalci preuzeli od gudžaratskog sultana. Izgradili su naselje, utvrde i crkve, (uključujući i neobičnu portugalsku crkvu koja stoji do danas.) Međutim, nisu mogli ostvariti velik dio svog posjeda i sedam otoka predali su Engleskoj 1661. godine kao dio miraz Katarine de Braganze kad se udala za Karla II. Ni otoci ga nisu previše zanimali, a iznajmljivao ih je britanskoj istočnoindijskoj tvrtki za 10 funti godišnje 1668. Istočnoindijska tvrtka gradila je dokove, trgovačka mjesta i utvrdu koja će činiti živčani centar. grada. Također su započeli dugi proces povrata zemlje i pridruživanja otocima, aktivnost koja je trajala do 1960-ih.

Luka je privlačila industrije, a poduzetničke zajednice poput Parsisa, Gujaratisa i Marwarisa (iz Rajasthana) migrirale su i uspostavljale trgovačke tvrtke i tvornice krajem 19. stoljeća. Industrije su privlačile migrantsku radnu snagu iz različitih dijelova zemlje. Uzastopni valovi migracija oblikovali su karakter grada i njegovih susjedstava.

Grad koji svoje postojanje duguje naporima Britanaca bio je i rodno mjesto Indijskog nacionalnog kongresa, koji je odigrao nadasve važnu ulogu u pokretu za neovisnost. Grad čije su mlinove gradili industrijalci iz cijele zemlje glavni je grad države Maharashtra, koji je urezan na jezičnim linijama za Marathski zvučnika.

Osamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća visoki troškovi radne snage i nemiri natjerali su na zatvaranje mnogih tvornica tekstila i grad je propao od čega se počeo oporavljati tek krajem 1890-ih. Velika populacija opteretila je infrastrukturu. Željeznička i cestovna mreža neprestano se poboljšavala tijekom 1990-ih, ali zbog veličine zadatka čini se da su ceste trajno u izgradnji. Mumbai se sada ponovo predstavio kao središte za uslužnu industriju.

U siječnju 1993., nakon razaranja džamije Babri u Ayodhya, grad je zahvatio val nereda, u kojem je ubijeno preko 1.000 ljudi, od kojih su velika većina bili muslimani. Odnosi između različitih gradskih etničkih skupina otada su napeti, uz nekoliko terorističkih ogorčenja (vidi #Ostati siguran) dolijevanje ulja na vatru.

Kultura i stavovi

Mumbai je najkozmopolitski grad u Indiji. U usporedbi s ostatkom zemlje, grad je prilično liberalan. Redovitim prilivom imigranata iz ostatka Indije, građani, popularno zvani 'Mumbajkeri', pokazali su izuzetnu toleranciju prema drugim kulturama, čineći je istinskim kulturnim topljenjem. Međutim, ta se tolerancija ponekad pognula pod vanjskim pritiscima. Između 60-ih i 80-ih bilo je ogorčeno zbog toga što govornici koji nisu marathski oduzimaju posao. Neredi 1991. i 1993. između hindusa i muslimana doista su utjecali na taj duh; međutim, grad se uspio oporaviti od njih, još jednom ponosno ističući istinski 'duh Mumbaija'.

Klima

Mumbai ima tri glavne sezone - ljeto, monsun i zimu (blaže ljeto). Najbolje vrijeme za posjet je zimi između listopada i veljače. Vlaga je također manja zimi, kada je klima ugodna; minimalna temperatura je 17 ° C, a maksimalna 30-31 ° C. Ljeto je od ožujka do svibnja, s najvišim temperaturama u srednjih i srednjih 30-ih (oko 80-90 ° F). Za to je vrijeme vruće i vlažno. Od lipnja do rujna sezona je monsuna kada grad obuzimaju obilne kiše. Grad poplavi dva ili tri puta, a normalan život se poremeti tijekom ove sezone. Klima je prilično vlažna tijekom cijele godine, jer grad počiva na obali.

Avionom

Mumbai ima izvrsnu povezanost s većinom većih gradova širom svijeta, uključujući New York, London, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Singapur, Hong Kong i Kuala Lumpur da nabrojimo samo neke. Ako letite iz Europe, obično je jeftinije letjeti iz Londona, a na raspolaganju su mnogi česti letovi. Svi su domaći sektori povezani s Mumbaijem, što ga čini drugim najprometnijim čvorištem u zemlji pored Delhija.

Mumbaija 19.09974872.874991 Međunarodna zračna luka Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (BOM ^IATA) jedna je od najprometnijih zračnih luka u Indiji i jedan od glavnih međunarodnih ulaza u zemlju. Mnoge međunarodne zrakoplovne tvrtke poput Aeroflot, Air China, Air France, Svi Nippon Airways, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta, El Al, Emirati, Ethiopian Airlines, flydubai, KLM Royal Dutch, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, Ujedinjen, i Djevičanski Atlantik odletjeti u Mumbai. Niskotarifni prijevoznici poput Zračna Azija također letjeti u grad.

Brodom

Mnoge turističke organizacije nude krstarenja od Singapura, Malezije i Dubaija do Mumbaija. Trajekti s trajektnog pristaništa omogućuju jeftin pristup otocima i plažama u blizini grada i grada Špilje Elephanta.

Vlakom

Wikivoyage ima vodič za Putovanje željeznicom u Indiji

Željeznice u Indiji Prva komercijalna željeznička usluga započela je 16. travnja 1853. u 15:35, u svojoj prvoj vožnji između VT (danas Terminal Chhatrapati Shivaji) i Thanea.

Vlakovi u Mumbai stižu iz cijele Indije. Središnja linija služi za povezivanje s Južna Indija, Istočna Indijai dijelovi sjeverne Indije. Ključne stanice su 18.940772.83551 Terminal Chhatrapati Shivaji, CST [CSTM] (nekadašnji Terminus Victoria, poznat samo kao VT), 19.018772.84332 Dadar Terminus [DR] (za središnju liniju) i [DDR] (za zapadnu liniju), i 19.069972.89173 Terminus Lokmanya Tilak [LTT] (ranije nazivan Kurla Terminus).

Zapadna linija spaja se na Zapadne države od Gudžarat, Rajasthani nekim dijelovima sjeverne Indije. Glavni termini su 18.9772.81944 Središnji Mumbai [BCT] i 19.064572.84115 Bandra Terminus [BDTS].

The Konkanska željeznica (koja je odvojena i novoizgrađena linija) putuje slikovitom obalom Konkan Maharastra i dobar je način za putovanje od Goa i Mangalore, obalna odmarališta na jugu. Kraj terminala Dadar odredište je linije.

Za vlakove do drugih indijskih gradova glavni uredi za rezervaciju su Churchgate, Mumbai Central i Bandra na zapadnoj liniji te CST i Dadar na središnjoj liniji. Postoje posebni izlozi za karte i kvote za strane turiste. Za rezervacije i tarife za karte za vlak do bilo kojeg mjesta u Indiji iz Mumbaija posjetite Web stranica indijske željeznice. Za neograničeno putovanje Mumbaijem možete koristitiLokalna turistička karta u Mumbaiju koje pružaju indijske željeznice.

The Maharadžin Express je luksuzni vlak koji će vas odvesti do Delhija.

Automobilom

Nacionalna autocesta brojevi 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 17 i brza cesta Mumbai-Pune zrače iz grada pružajući veze do svih dijelova zemlje. Uvjeti na cestama uglavnom su bolji nego u ostatku Indije. Udobne klimatizirane plave kabine dostupne su Puneu i Ahmednagar-Nashiku s suprotne autobusne stanice Asiad u Dadaru, odnosno Lakhamsi Nappoo Rd u blizini istočne željezničke stanice Dadar. Udaljenost od različitih gradova do Mumbaija je:

• Iz drugih država: Ahmedabad (550 km (340 milja), 12 sati), Bangalore (998 km (620 mi)), Chennai (1.109 km (689 mi)), Kochi (1.384 km (860 mi)), Goa (593 km (368 mi), 11 sati), Hyderabad (711 km (442 milje), 24 sata), Mangalore (713 km (443 mi)), New Delhi (1.407 km (874 mi))
• Iz države Maharashtra: Amravati (67 km (42 mi)), Ahmednagar (300 km (190 mi)), Nagpur (844 km (524 mi)), Pune (160 km (99 mi), 2½-3 sata)

Iznajmljivanje automobila

Nekoliko agencija za iznajmljivanje automobila dostupno je u međunarodnoj / domaćoj zračnoj luci Mumbai, kao i na sljedećim mjestima.

• Najam automobila Clear, ☏ 91 88888 55220, ✉[email protected]

Autobusom

Mumbai se dobro služi autobusima s odredišta unutar Indije.

• Usluga autobusa Asiad Autobusni kolodvor, popularno poznat kao 'autobusni kolodvor Asiad' na Ambedkar Rd u Dadar istoku, još je jedno središte odakle autobusi putuju do Pune redovnom frekvencijom od 15 minuta do 1 sata. Cijene se kreću u rasponu od ₹ 100 - ₹ 200, a autobusi se razlikuju u udobnosti, od uobičajenih do luksuznih s klima uređajima. Ostale dostupne rute su Mumbai - Satara, Mumbai - Nasik. Najlakši način da dođete do terminala je prijeći pješačkim mostom do Dadar istoka od terminala Dadar i prošetati ravno cijelim putem (manje od 5 minuta) do ulice Ambedkar.
• Privatni autobusi Postoje i brojni privatni autobusni operateri koji pružaju velik broj usluga od / do Mumbaija iz većine velikih gradova Udaipur, Ajmer, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Indore, Nashik, Aurangabad, Hyderabad, Belgaum, Hubli, Bangalore, Mangalore, Trichur i Goa. Za Pune, autobusi polaze svakih 10 minuta. Crawford Market, Dadar T.T., Sion, Chembur i Borivili glavna su polazišta. Neki od pouzdanih privatnih operatera su - National, Neeta, Sharma, VRL, Konduskar, Dolphin, Paulo i Southern Travels.
• ST autobusi (MSRTC (Državna korporacija za cestovni prijevoz Maharashtra)), ☏ 91 22 2307 4272 (Središnji Mumbai), 91 22 2307 6622 (Središnji Mumbai), 91 22 2422 9905 (Parel), 91 22 2413 6835 (Dadar). Služi za Mumbai iz različitih gradova Maharashtre. Središnji Mumbaj najvažniji je terminal u gradu. Svi veći gradovi u Maharashtri i obližnjim državama povezani su središnjim terminalom Mumbaija. Ostala važna skladišta ST nalaze se u Parelu, Nehru Nagar-Kurli i Borivaliju. Iz ovih skladišta možete nabaviti autobuse za cijelu Maharashtru. Ali iz središta Mumbai mogli biste dobiti autobuse bilo kada, kao i druge autobuse državnog prijevoza. Kvaliteta varira. 

Zaobiđi se

Većina stanovnika Mumbaija oslanja se na javni prijevoz do i sa svog radnog mjesta zbog nedostatka parkirnih mjesta, uskih grla u prometu i općenito loših uvjeta na cestama, posebno u monsunu. No, vozite se taksijem i automobilom barem jednom u gradu. Ako niste navikli na indijske ceste, vožnja auto-rikšom može zaustaviti srce, prkositi smrti, zakone fizike. Osjetite pravu avanturu u vozilu koje se osjeća kao da bi se moglo raspasti brzinom većom od 30 kilometara na sat (19 mph) s vozačem koji misli da je Schumacher.

Za putovanja javnim prijevozom možete preuzeti aplikaciju m-Indicator za Android i iPhone. Sadrži korisne informacije o autobusnim i željezničkim rutama koje vam mogu pomoći u planiranju putovanja na posao.

• TMT (Thane Municipal Transport) pruža usluge u Ratnik grad i područja oko njega.
• The MSRTC (Državna korporacija za cestovni promet Maharashtra), poznata kao ST, pruža usluge od odabranih točaka u gradu do proširenih predgrađa. Od Dadara, usluge do Navi Mumbaija i Panvela i od Borivalija do Thanea, najistaknutiji su. Brojni drugi važni pravci također su pokriveni u MMR-u (Mumbai Metropolitan Region) od strane MSRTC.
• NMMT (Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport) pruža usluge na području Navi Mumbai i nekoliko točaka okolo. Oni također imaju usluge iz Mulunda u širem Mumbaiju.
• KDMT (Gradski prijevoz Kalyan Dombivali) djeluje na području Kalyan-Dombivali s nekoliko veza do Navi Mumbaija.

Druga je mogućnost rezervirati autobusne karte putem Interneta Redbus ili myticketbuddy, obojica imaju na izbor niz velikih privatnih autobusnih prijevoznika širom Indije.

Taksijem

Crno-žuti gornji taksi

Taksiji su jeftini i obilni (15–18 američkih dolara trebalo bi biti dovoljno da vas odveze s jednog kraja grada na drugi). Većina taksija u Mumbaiju su mali i srednji Fiatovi automobili (ne klimatizirani), obojeni crno-žuto (crno na donjem dijelu tijela i žuto na krovu). Zakonsko ograničenje broja putnika u taksiju je 4, isključujući vozača. Možete isprazniti taksi s ulica. Međutim, mnogi su prilično klimavi, prljavi i nose mehaničke mjerače cijena prijevoza koji bi se povremeno mogli mijenjati. Svi taksiji trebali bi imati elektronička brojila koja su donekle nepromijenjena. Ako tog dana naiđete na mehanički mjerač, možete podnijeti žalbu najbližem policajcu prometne policije. Također, prema zakonu, crno-žuti taksist ne može odbiti kartu. Ako vozač odbije, prijetnja žalbom najbližem policajcu obično čini trik.

Izračunavanje cijene taksija Izračunavanje cijena taksija očitavanjem mehaničkog brojila i pretvaranje u cijenu vožnje pomoću tarifne kartice može se činiti složenim sustavom. Međutim, prilično je jednostavno. Samo pročitajte brojilo, izračunajte cijenu tako što ćete uporediti očitanje brojila s tarifnom karticom da biste došli do konačne cijene koja se plaća. Minimalna cijena vožnje je 16 JPY. U pretplatničkim paketima cijena se naplaćuje na početku, pa očitavanje brojila nije primjenjivo. Za noćne troškove (od ponoći do 5 ujutro) označite cijenu za 25%. Kod velikih predmeta prtljage dodajte otprilike ₹ 10 po komadu. Prilično je zgodno imati vlastiti primjerak kartice taksijera koju je izdala prometna policija Mumbaija. Međutim, u skladu s prometnim zakonima, tarifna kartica je obavezna i taksist bi ih trebao staviti na raspolaganje putnicima na zahtjev. Možete mu pristupiti putem interneta na Prometna policija Mumbaija web stranica. Prigovori se mogu podnijeti i putem interneta putem istog web mjesta. Možete unaprijed procijeniti cijene taksija i automobila koristeći Taksi cijena ili automatska cijena web stranica. Morate unijeti naziv lokacije "Od" i naziv lokacije "usluga", a usluga će izračunati udaljenost i cijenu, a također će vam pokazati Google kartu s rutom.

Ako imate dodatne komade prtljage, prtljažnik (prtljažnik) taksija neće pružiti dovoljno prostora - tamo će stati samo jedan veliki kofer. Angažiranje taksija s vrhunskim prijevoznikom bit će bolje. Vrhunski nosači mogu smjestiti do tri velika kofera. Prije početka putovanja osigurajte da je prtljaga sigurno pričvršćena na nosač.

Općenito, jedini način da se pozove standardni taksi je da se pozdravi jedan na ulici. To neće predstavljati problem ako ste unutar gradskih granica (tj. Sjeverni središnji Bombay i ispod). Ako ste u predgrađu, bit će teško pronaći taksi jer su ih nadmetali jeftiniji auto-rikše.

Službeni maksimalan broj putnika dopuštenih za putovanje je četiri - tri na stražnjem sjedalu i jedan na prednjem dijelu. Sigurnosni pojasevi nisu obvezni za taksi putnike, a većina standardnih crno-žutih taksija neće ih ni instalirati, iako ih očekujte u markiranim.

Plavo-bijeli gornji taksi

Plavi i bijeli (B / W) taksiji premium su javni taksiji koji su klimatizirana verzija crno-žutog (B / Y) taksija. Sva pravila B / Y taksija primjenjuju se i na B / W taksije, osim što su B / W taksiji klimatizirani. Štoviše, cijena crno-bijelih taksija 20% je viša od B / Y taksija. Ovo je premija koja se očekuje za klimatizirane uređaje, što je zaista korisno za turiste i putnike koji nisu navikli na vrućinu i zagađenje Mumbaija. Štoviše, svi B / W taksiji voze se elektroničkim brojilima, za razliku od B / Y taksija.

Budući da je cijena crno-bijele cijene najviša, obični ljudi obično ne vole putovati crno-bijelim taksijem, a uglavnom je koriste turisti ili poslovni putnici. Zbog nedostatka potražnje očekuje se i nedostatak ponude. Taksiji često prometuju, ali nisu lako dostupni na svim mjestima. Uvijek možete očekivati ​​da će biti dostupni na turističkim žarištima poput željezničkih stanica, zračnih luka, premium hotela, vrhunskih turističkih mjesta itd. Ako ne putujete ni kroz jedno od gore navedenih mjesta, a trebate klimatiziranu udobnost, ali ne želite ići tražiti taksi, predlaže se da prijeđete na sljedeći odjeljak.

Privatni taksiji

Ako želite ugodnu, klimatiziranu vožnju uz malu nadoplatu od 25 posto u odnosu na uobičajene taksije najbolje je putovati markiranim taksi službama koji djeluju po vladinim tarifama. Te službe upravljaju modernim voznim parkom s dobro obučenim vozačima. Možete ih dobiti u roku od 30–60 minuta, čisti su, klimatizirani, opremljeni digitalnim mjeračima, nepromijenjeni, točni, pošteni i nadzirani s GPS-om, što ih čini daleko sigurnima u bilo kojem trenutku. Ako koristite mobilni telefon, primit ćete SMS s imenom vozača, brojem mobitela i brojem automobila 30 minuta prije zakazanog polaska. Naknade iznose ₹ 22 za prvi kilometar i 15 za daljnje kilometre, uz nadoplatu od 25% (ponoć-5 ujutro). Neke je moguće rezervirati putem interneta.

Slijedite sustav redova za ulazak u taksi. Često turiste i nove posjetitelje maltretiraju nesavjesni taksisti. Većina vozača je iskrena, ali oni neiskrenima obično se skupljaju po željezničkim kolodvorima i zračnim lukama gdje mogu lakše pronaći sisanje. Osim ako ne koristite unaprijed plaćeni taksi, uvijek tražite od taksija da prođu brojilo. Na početku putovanja, osigurajte da je brojilo vidljivo i pokazuje označenu cijenu vožnje / brojila.

Taksi prijevozne mreže

Mumbai također opslužuju razne organizacije prometne mreže. Mnogi turisti i domaći stanovnici koriste usluge kao što su Uber i Ola Cabs da putuju u Mumbai i oko njega. Obavezno pročitajte tarife u njima prije nego što platite. Iako većina ovih usluga prihvaća gotovinu, velik dio njih također se može povezati s mrežnim uslugama novčanika poput Paytma; kao takvo, prekomjerno punjenje rijetko je rizik.

Ostati siguran

Putovanje u Mumbaiju uglavnom je sigurno u bilo koje doba dana i noći. Rizici se prvenstveno javljaju ako niste upoznati s cijenama i izračunom cijena (primjenjivo samo na neelektronska i neplaćena brojila). Ako putujete sami, posebno noću, uvijek sami pogledajte brojilo i onda platite kartu. Ako ste sami, sjednite ispred kako biste mogli vidjeti mjerač.

Noćne naknade primjenjive su samo ako se u vozilo ukrcate tijekom noćnih sati (od ponoći do 5 sati ujutro). Ako ste se u vozilo ukrcali prije ponoći, a vaše se putovanje završava nakon ponoći, niste dužni platiti noćne troškove. Slično tome, ako se u vozilo ukrcate prije pet ujutro, a završite nakon pet ujutro, dužni ste platiti noćne troškove.

Za razliku od ostalih dijelova zemlje, posebno Delhija u kojem prevladava silovanje, kriminal je rijedak, osim mogućeg uobičajenog kriminala poput džeparstva.

Turističke zamke

Jedna od čestih prevara je naplata stope noćenja tijekom dana. Trebali biste biti oprezni i pročitati naslov prije plaćanja. Na nekim karticama noćna je crvene boje, a dnevna crne.

Ponekad vozači auto-rikša naplaćuju taksi i čak vam pokazuju tarifnu karticu koja se koristi za izračunavanje cijene taksija.

Možete preuzeti aplikaciju m-indikatora koja je dostupna u Trgovini Play i iTunes App Store. Ova aplikacija nosi najnovije cijene taksija, auto karte, detalje o autobusnim uslugama i lokalni red vožnje vlakova.

Auto-rikšom

Auto-rikše smiju djelovati samo izvan Bandre u zapadnom predgrađu i izvan Siona u središnjem predgrađu. Ne izdaju im se licence u središtu grada.

Prije polaska, pobrinite se da je brojilo vidljivo i da očitanje zastavice pokazuje 1,00 (na mehaničkom mjeraču). Ako je broj veći, inzistirajte da ga vozač još jednom označi. Minimalna cijena vožnje je 18 JPY. Mjerač ostaje na 1,00 tijekom prvih 1,6 km (0,99 milja), a svako kretanje od 0,10 pokazuje približno 200 m (tj. 1,5 na svakih 0,2 km (0,12 milje)). Cijena karte iznosi 7 JPY za svaki km, osim prvih 1,6 km (0,99 milja) za koje iznosi 15 JPY. Svaki vozač automobila trebao bi imati važeću tarifnu karticu odobrenu za RTO. Ovu tarifnu karticu možete provjeriti prije plaćanja. Mjerač također nastavlja otkucavati ako čekate i / ili ste zapeli u prometu. Prilično je zgodno imati kopiju kartice brojila koju je izdala prometna policija Mumbaija. Sve se to odnosi na mehanička brojila, a ne na digitalna brojila. Noviji digitalni brojila počeli su postajati uobičajeni od 2012. godine pa nadalje, a pokazuju točnu cijenu, tako da nema potrebe za konverzijom putem tarifne kartice.

Auto-rikše sporiji su od automobila i imaju strašne ovjese. Trudne dame su najviše toplo preporučljivo da se ne putuje auto-rikšama jer je kombinacija brze vožnje, loših ovjesa i užasnih uvjeta na cesti često dovela do ozbiljnih komplikacija. Auto-rikša je sporo i neudobno vozilo i ne preporučuje se na vrlo velikim udaljenostima.

Autobusom

• Mumbajska gradska regija - The Mumbajska gradska regija oko Mumbaija brzo se pretvara u veliku konurbaciju. Ako trebate doći u okolne gradove Thane, Navi Mumbai ili Kalyan, dostupne su autobusne usluge.

Brihanmumbai Opskrba i transport električne energije (poznat kao NAJBOLJE) pruža učinkovite i sveobuhvatne usluge koje povezuju sva mjesta u gradu i predgrađima. Neke usluge također povezuju grad s proširenim predgrađima poput područja Navi Mumbai, Thane i Mira-Bhayandar. Sjedala su gotovo uvijek zauzeta. Po cijelom gradu postoje autobusne stanice. Obično je gužva i red. Morate ući kroz stražnji ulaz i sići s prednje strane. Ulaznice izdaje uniformirani "kondukter" nakon što uđete. Posebna mjesta označena su za "Dame", "Starije osobe", "Hendikepirane", "Buduće žene" i "Žene s dojenčadi". Mogu ući s prednje strane.

Autobusi voze od 5 ujutro do ponoći. Odabrane rute prelaze ove vremenske okvire, ali mnogo rjeđe. Prosječna frekvencija između autobusa kreće se od pet do 30 minuta, ovisno o ruti. Cijene su prihvatljive i autobusima se može voziti tijekom vršnih sati, za razliku od vlakova koji su pretrpani. Međutim, neke prometne rute postaju izuzetno pretrpane. U vršne sate također dolazi do gužve u prometu, što može ovisiti o prolaznom području i stanju na cestama.

Što povezuje Opskrba električnom energijom i prijevoz? BEST je u transport ušao pokretanjem tramvajske tvrtke. Sada, naravno, vozi autobuse koji rade na dizel i CNG, a ne na električnu energiju. Tvrtka je još uvijek zadužena za distribuciju električne energije za južni i središnji Mumbai.

Autobusi su numerirani, a krajnje odredište označeno je na prednjoj strani na marathskom i na bočnoj strani na engleskom jeziku. Općenito, autobusi oko grada i magistralne rute bili bi u seriji 1-199. Autobusi u zapadnom predgrađu bili bi serije 200, dok bi oni koji voze u središnjem i istočnom predgrađu bili u serijama 300 i 400. Usluge za Navi, Mumbai su u seriji 500, a autobusi za područje Mira-Bhayander u seriji 700.

BEST je uveo "dnevnu propusnicu" (cijena ₹ 50, vrijedi za sve BEST autobuse koji nisu naizmjenični; Cijena ₹ 60, vrijedi za sve BEST-autobuse, uključujući klimatizirane autobusne linije).

BEST je pokrenuo svoju aplikaciju "NAJBOLJE Prave"za Android, koji sadrži značajke poput praćenja autobusa uživo i ETA autobusa.

Također možete kupiti NAJBOLJE autobusne karte i karte koristeći ridlr aplikacija za Android.

Prigradska željeznička mreža

Većina ljudi putuje u Mumbai koristeći Prigradska željeznička mreža obično se naziva "Lokalno stanovništvo". Mumbai ima razgranatu mrežu s tri linije - zapadnom linijom, središnjom glavnom linijom i lukom.

• Mumbai je linearni grad i zapadna linija putuje od Churchgate do ulice Dahanu putem zapadnog predgrađa Mumbaija. Zapadna linija pruža vezu Sjever-Jug.
• Centralna glavna linija putuje od Mumbaija CST (Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus), zvanog VT Victoria Terminus do Kalyan preko središnjeg predgrađa Mumbaija i Ratnik, s nekim uslugama koje vode dalje do Karjata, Khopolija i Kasare. Točka izmjene između zapadne i središnje crte je Dadar.
• Luka Harbor ima zajedničko područje između Mumbaija CST (zvanog VT Victoria Terminus) i Vadale. Lučka se linija dijeli na dvije ostruge, glavna koja vodi do istočnih predgrađa Mumbaija i Navi Mumbai, sve do Panvela. Točka spajanja ove linije sa Središnjom glavnom linijom nalazi se na Kurli. The other spur of the Harbour Line runs up to Mahim on the Western Line and runs parallel up to Andheri. The interchange stations with the Western line are Bandra and Andheri.

Trains on all lines start operations after 4AM and close operations between midnight and 1AM.Second class travel is very cheap. However, it is advisable to buy first class tickets as the economy class is extremely crowded. First Class can be quite expensive and if four people are travelling together, a taxi might be better.There would always be queues and it would be advisable to buy coupon booklets. Coupon booklets punching machines are available at all stations and the best thing is you will not have to stand in a huge line to buy a booklet. Another option is to buy a Smart card for Railways. It helps you maintain balance like any a gift card with an option to refill it once it goes below the limit. Smart card outlets to buy tickets are available on all stations. They are touch screen based and you can simply follow the instructions to buy a ticket for the right path.

If you are a tourist, you can buy a 'Tourist Ticket'. It costs ₹275 and you can travel in first class compartments of all the three lines during the entire day. Ensure the location of the first class compartment before the train arrives. You may ask fellow passengers or the vendors at the various food stalls. An easier way to spot the location of the First class compartment is to check the station walls painted with red and yellow slant stripes.

Avoid using local trains during rush hour (first class or otherwise). Rush hour is 8:30–10:30AM towards CST and Churchgate and 5:30PM–8:30PM in the opposite direction. If you are traveling during rush hour, don't stand near railway track as you will get swamped by frantic. Take no offense if you are pushed and shoved about, as passengers jostle for a spot. As you near your exit station, ensure that you are as close as possible to the train door, as experienced commuters, will be begin the mad run to be first on, or off, the car before the car comes to a full stop. If you stand any chance of getting on/off before the train depart, you must be equally aggressive in your focus to exit/enter, remember no one will take offense if you make contact with others, as you wriggle by. Last, but not least, exiting/entering a train before it comes to a full stop is not something to be taken lightly, one misstep can send a person onto the rails with an amazing ease! Leave the stunts to the experienced locals.

There are special coaches for women on both classes. These are designated by green and yellow slant stripes, spot these stripes on the station walls and you'll know where the ladies compartment is. These are generally less crowded and safer. But very late at night, it might actually be safer to travel by the general coach than the first-class women's coach, as the latter may be absolutely empty except for you. From 11:15PM-6:30PM the ladies compartment towards the northern end is open to general public. Sometimes they have a cop guarding the coaches, but sometimes they won't. Use your judgment.

Mumbai Metro

The Mumbai Metro connects the western suburbs to the eastern suburbs. Line 1 runs from Versova to Ghatkopar with interchange options available at Andheri (Western Line) And Ghatkopar (Central Line) Railway Station. The travel time is 20 minutes.

You can purchase Mumbai Metro tickets from your smartphone using the ridlr app.

Mumbai Monorail

Mumbai has India's first monorail, it has one line and eighteen stations throughout the city. The fare is between ₹5 and ₹11 depends on your destination station.

By ferry

These are a few intra-city ferry services:

• Gateway of India to Elephanta Caves Fast boats and Catamarans operated by private operators. These are moderately priced. This is only way to get to Elephanta Caves.
• Gorai (Borivali) to Gorai Beach Low cost ferry connecting Gorai Beach/Esselworld.
• Marve Jetty (Malad) to Manori Jetty Cheap ferry (by BEST) connecting Manori and Gorai. Also services for Esselworld (Amusement Park).
• Versova (Andheri) to Madh Jetty Cheap ferry connecting Madh/Erangal/Aksa/Marve.

Automobilom

Travel agents and hotels can arrange private chauffeur driven cars to provide services. Expensive by comparison with taxis, they are the most trusted, secure, and comfortable way to travel around the city. Driving in Mumbai can be difficult, because of poor driver discipline, but chauffeur driven services are very reasonable. These can be arranged by travel companies or online from the countries of origin. Car rental agencies also have services in Mumbai.

Talk

Mumbai is India's melting pot — a confluence of people from various parts of India, but dominant are people from the west, then north, and followed by the south. Marathi is the state and city official language used by State Government agencies, municipal authorities, and the local police, and also the first language of most locals.

However, being India's largest city and main commercial centre, Mumbai is now also home to migrants from other parts of India who do not speak Marathi. A local variant of Hindi, with strong Bollywood influence, called Bambaiya Hindi serves as the "lingua franca" and although almost everyone can understand standard Hindi, you may get an interesting reply from some. Most educated locals will be well versed in Marathi, Hindi and English.

English is widely used in the corporate world and in banking and trading. At most places, you will be able to get by with Hindi and English, as most people you will encounter can communicate in broken English at the very least. However expect to hear more regional languages including Gujarati.

Vidjeti

The game of names The names of Mumbai's monuments tell us the story of which way political winds were blowing when they were built. In the late 19th century the British named everything after their Queen, so we had Victoria terminus, Victoria Gardens, and the Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute (built in 1887 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty's coronation). In the early 20th century, they named everything after the Prince of Wales. After independence the colonial names could not be retained of course, so they were renamed. Depending on whether the city was suffering from bouts of nationalistic pride or Marathi pride at that time, they were named after either Jawaharlal Nehru (the first Prime Minister of India) or Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj (King Shivaji, who founded the Maratha empire in the 18th century). Often, they were named after Shivaji's mother, Jijabai. The advantage of this was that using Veermata Jijabai ("Courageous mother Jijabai") for a place that was earlier named for Victoria maintains the same abbreviation, so "Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute" (formerly Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute) is still VJTI. For a traveller, the practical problem would be that many places have multiple names. Multiple places are named after Nehru, Shivaji, or Jijabai, so you need to be careful about specifying which place you need to get to. Few important names changes to remember are: 'Victoria Terminus' is now 'Chhtrapati Shivaji Terminus' 'Jacob Circle' is now 'Saat Rasta' or 'Sant Gaadge Maharaj Chowk' 'King's Circle' is now 'Maheshwari Udyyan' 'Kurla Terminus' is now 'Lokmanya Tilak Terminus'

There is a lot to see in Mumbai, but the typical "tourist" sights are concentrated in Južni Mumbai.

By Indian standards, Mumbai is a young city and much of the land comprising the city did not exist until it was claimed from the sea over three centuries ago. It is therefore, a pleasant surprise to find rock cut caves such as the Elephanta, Kanheri, and Mahakali within city limits.

Colonial buildings

The British built a magnificent city within the walls of Fort St. George, which lies at the southern extremity of the city. Some fine examples of the Gothic revival, Neo-classical style and Indo-Saracenic style are seen within this area. To get the best [South Mumbai] experience, stroll around the wide streets of the area right from Churchgate to Colaba. These areas are all beautifully planned and have wide and clean pavements unlike the rest of the city. Famous monuments to be seen in this area are the Gateway of India, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Victoria Terminus) building, the Municipal Corporation and Police Headquarters and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastu Sanghralaya (formerly, the Prince Of Wales museum). The famous Taj Mahal hotel is opposite the Gateway of India. The Mumbai University buildings and the High Court are also excellent examples of colonial architecture in the city.

There are a lot of other modern structures to look at in this area. The area known as Marine Drive (right from Chowpatty beach to NCPA) is home to a large number of buildings built in the Art Deco style. Mumbai is second only to Miami in the number of Art Deco buildings. some famous buildings in this style are the Eros and Regal cinemas. The Art Deco and Gothic buildings were added to the Popis svjetske baštine UNESCO-a in 2018.

Museums and galleries

Some of the most famous museums and art galleries in India are found here. The Kala Ghoda area in South Mumbai teems with them, particularly the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (Prince of Wales Museum), and the National Gallery of Modern Art. Once again, most of them are concentrated in South Mumbai. Also worth planning a visit is Jehangir Art Gallery, also at Kala Ghoda, displays changing exhibits by notable artists. The plaza next to the gallery also regularly displays exhibits of various artists.

In Nehru Complex in Worli is Nehru Centre Art Gallery at Worli is a gallery dedicated to young and promising talent along with established artists. Also within the complex is a permanent exposition, Discovery of India, which attempts to cover every aspect of artistic, intellectual and philosophical attainment of India through ages. The exposition spreads across 14 galleries and reflects true identity of the country. On the other end of the complex, Nehru Science Centre - which has a separate entrance from Mahalaxmi race course road, has a permanent exhibition on 'interactive and exciting' science related exhibits highlighting science principles in fun yet educational way.

Beaches

Mumbai isn't known for beaches because they have immensely filthy water!Mumbai has a few beaches, including one in the downtown area. But they aren't that great and the water off Mumbai's coast is extraordinarily dirty. The relatively better ones are in the Northwest Mumbai area. However, they are a great place to see how the locals spend their Sunday evenings, with various food and game stalls.

There are other beaches to be found such as the Girgaon Chowpaty(the cleanest one) in South Mumbai, Juhu beach in the western suburbs and Aksa Beach in Malad.The currents don't seem strong, but particularly in the rains, lots of people die from drowning, so avoid getting in the water (especially at Aksa Beach). A word of advice to women: Bombay beaches are not the kind you can wear swimsuits to, particularly two-pieces.

Zoos, parks and gardens

Mumbai has a justified reputation as a concrete jungle, but there are some nice pockets of greenery within the city. It is also one of the rare metropolises to have an entire national park within its borders. (Borivali national park also known as Sanjay Gandhi National Park). You will not visit Mumbai for them, but if you are already here, they make a nice escape from the din and bustle. It also houses the ancient Kanheri Caves crafted out of rocky cliffs, which dates back 2,400 years. Entrance fee: Indians/Foreigns 30/30

The city zoo (Veermata Jijabai Udyan) is in Byculla and is a colonial relic which is surprisingly well-preserved. The animals may look rather emaciated, but the sheer diversity of trees on this lush zoo is worth a trip.

Some city parks are very well-maintained and combine history as well. The "Hanging Gardens" on Malabar Hill offers stunning vistas of the Marine Drive. Opposite the Hanging Gardens, there is another park which is known as Kamla Nehru Park, famous for the striking shoe-shaped structure which has been filmed in various Bollywood movies

Further in South Mumbai, the Mumbai Port Trust Garden, is another hidden gem. This is set off a small side street off the Colaba Causeway 2–3 km (1.2–1.9 mi) south of the main section. Attractive views of the port, the naval yards and sunset.

In central Mumbai, there are the Five Gardens. Mainly used by walkers in the morning, it is a mess in the evenings. But the gardens encircle some historic, art deco residences.

Markets and crowds

Mumbai is probably worth visiting just for its street markets, the hustle of vendors, and the madness of the crowds.Good places are Bandra, Khar and Andheri. If you came to Mumbai and didn't give visit to the highly dense and crowded markets, it means you didn't meet the real Mumbai.

Hawkers and street shoppers don't ask for any legal permission and then set their stalls at the places where they see maximum footfall. From electronics items to fresh food, you can get everything at railway platforms, subway and mains streets.

Modern buildings and malls

Once the British left, the zeal to wipe away the traces of colonial rule was, unfortunately, not matched by the enthusiasm to build a new city that matched the grandeur of the British-era buildings. Now, while the shabbiness of the socialist era is thankfully being replaced by architecture with an eye on aesthetics, the new malls, multiplexes, and office buildings that are coming up are indistinguishable from those anywhere else in the world. Still, they are worth a look, especially if you want to have a look at India's success story. Skyscrapers exceeding 60 stories now dominate the skyline.

For long, Inorbit Mall was the only mall offering a lot of variety for shoppers. Palladium, built within the High Street Phoenix, broke the monopoly of Inorbit Mall. From state of the art interiors to international brands, the Palladium has everything. The new Infiniti Mall (Infinity 2) in Malad also has lots of foreign brands and is one of the biggest malls in the suburbs.Nirmal Lifestyles Mall in Mulund and Metro Junction Mall in Kalyan are two of the largest malls in Mumbai. In the central suburbs, they are quite popular in the city.

Powai is a modern central Mumbai suburb with European looks. Powai houses the Indian Institute of Technology and is built around fabulous lake. Most of the construction is in a township format and is privately built. It houses twenty top of the line restaurants, two large convenience stores, a handful of coffee shops and entertainment areas. Initially built as an upmarket self-contained township, Powai has now grown into a business process outsourcing hub in Mumbai. The township reflects both characteristics; you will often find families shopping and twenty somethings hanging out in tables next to each other.

Religious places

Mumbai has temples, mosques, churches, Parsi agiaries, and even a few synagogues reflecting the diversity of its citizens. While these are naturally of interest if you are a believer, some, like the Portuguese church at Dadar are worth visiting just for their unique architecture.

Siddhivinayak temple of Mumbai is very famous. It is in Dadar and you can easily get a taxi to go to the temple from the Dadar railway station.

The city also boasts of Jewish places of worship predominantly in the area called Byculla, but also in South Mumbai. In this area the three prominent Jewish groups of Mumbai lived. They were Bagdadi Jews, Bene Israelis and the locals who had conveted over a period of time and lived in the hinterland.

There are two very beautiful Hare Krishna (ISKCON) temples that are significant tourist attractions. One is in Hare Krishna land, Juhu, Andheri and the other in South Mumbai, near Gandhi's house. Both have Govinda's pure vegetarian restaurants at the premises. Most tourists appreciate the peaceful experience in the temple.

The Islamic Research Foundation of Zakir Naik is in South Central Mumbai near Dongri. Is popular with people of all faiths. It hosts a vast library of books from all world religions and is a great place to hangout and know about Islamic culture.

Haji Ali Dargah is one of the most visited places in Mumbai. The Dargah Sharief is built on a tiny islet 500 metres from the coast, in the middle of Worli Bay, in the vicinity of Worli. People from different religion and places visit this places. More than 80,000 people visit dargah every week.

One notable monument in the northwest suburbs of Mumbai is the Global Vipassana Pagoda, Gorai, Mumbai. It is a meditation centre that can seat 8,000 people. Vipassana literally means mediation, and the centre runs 10-day meditation courses and 1 day mega courses on Sundays. The courses are free of cost but you would have to register for them in advance on their website.

Čini

There is a lot to do in Mumbai, but lack of space means that for outdoorsy activities, you need to head north, often outside city limits. In the Northwestern suburbs and Thane, you will find opportunities for water sports like H20 at Girgaum Chowpatty. There are two golf courses in the city, the more famous one in Chembur in the Harbour suburbs.

Mumbai has a vibrant theater scene with plays in many languages including English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Marathi. While South Mumbai has frequent performances, the best organized theater effort is at Prithvi theater, Juhu in the Western Suburbs. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy Indian classical music and dance. While not a patch on the Sabhas of Chennai, you will find frequent performances of Carnatic music in Shanmukhananda Hall, Matunga in the South Central suburbs.

Mumbai is also usually the first stop for Western pop and rock stars visiting India, which they usually do when they are over 50. The Rock scene is very good in Mumbai. These are very safe to go to and are recommended for rock fans. Most bands cover heavy metal acts like Pantera, Six feet under, and Slipknot. To try to find places with specific music tastes try asking students outside Mumbai's colleges.Western classical music performances are rarer. However most classical music performances along with other art forms are regularly performed at NCPA i Tata Theatre, both next to the narrow strip at Nariman Point.

If you are a foreigner, it is a good idea to carry some cash to avoid charges while using your credit or debit card.

Many stores and websites have started accepting payments using mobile wallets and Unified Payment Interface (UPI). Some of the popular payment apps are Paytm, Google Pay (formerly known as Tez), PhonePe, BHIM and Amazon Pay.

In general, costs in Mumbai are higher than the rest of India, though they are still much lower by Western standards.

The shopping experience in the city is a study in contrasts. At the lower end of the spectrum are street vendors. Existing at the borderline of legality, entire streets have been given over to these hawkers and in many places it is impossible to walk on the footpaths, because they have blocked the way. On the other hand, these vendors often give you a great bargain though you will have to haggle a lot and be careful about what to buy. There's nothing like taking a local along to shop for you. Some famous shopping streets are:

• Bhuleshwar Market, Kika St, Bhuleshwar (Iz : Charni Road Railway Station take first road to south "Babasaheb Jaykar Marg" approximately 1.3 km (0.81 mi) East). for fruits and vegetables 
• 18.96031972.8270791 Chor bazaar (Thief Market), Bhandarwada Ln (Get down at the : Grant Road station on the Western Line. The market is on the east side of the station -). Chor Bazar which literally translates to "Thief Market" is a colloquial term used to refer a place selling stolen items. It consists of number of interconnecting by-lanes with street vendors hawking a wide variety of items from antiques to shoes to car accessories etc. The place can be quite a surprise for the number and type of items on sale. A great place to spot bargains, and bargaining is a must. Shop with a keen eye: look out for fakes or second hand items that are shoddily repaired and can be passed out for a quick buck. Don’t carry too many items like money / jewellery / watches on you when visit the market. Keep it to bare essentials and keep an eye on your belongings. There is a very good chance that you may get robbed since locals are apt at spotting first time shoppers. 
• 18.9176672.828292 Colaba Causeway, Lala Nigam Rd (It is very close to the Gateway of India about 1 km (0.62 mi) south). is filled with tourists and locals. It is a place where you will be able to find many authentic Indian souvenirs, antiques, carpets and chandeliers. But foreigners will have to be very careful, as all these stores are road-side stalls. What may seem a good price that the person has quoted to you, it will actually be a rip off. Do not settle for anything more than one-fourth the quoted price. If they refuse a price just walk away and they will call you back quoting a lower price. Normally, the more you buy, the less you will have to pay for each individual item. 
• 18.94741472.834713 Crawford Market (Marathi: क्रॉफर्ड मार्केट, officially Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Market, Marathi: महात्मा ज्योतिबा फुले मंडई), Central Line?

The traditional way to buy sarees or jewellery is to go to a shop where you sit on a bedspread laid out on the floor and the salespeople bring out their wares one-by-one until you make a decision. Shops like Bharat Kshetra in Dadar have scaled this model up to such an extent that they have a two-storied complex where you can do the same.

Bookshops

Individual listings can be found in Mumbai's okrug articles

Mumbai has large number of organized bookshops. However it also has number of streetside second hand book shops or displays that give opportunity to come across rare collections. Many of these roadside book shops can be prominently found, among many, near Flora Fountain, Maheshwari Udyyan (former King's Circle) and Dadar west market.

If you are somewhere in the western suburbs (santacruz,juhu etc.) Granth on juhu road could be a good bet to find the book you are looking for.

The Crossword chain of book shops has an outlet in most malls around the city, as well as the main store in Kemp's Corner.

Tourist traps

In a place without clearly displayed price tags (and sometimes even in places with), you will get charged about 3-4 times as much as a local if you seem like a tourist. Take a local with you if you're going to local markets to haggle. Haggling is much louder and ruder in India than elsewhere. Don't be afraid to haggle things down to 1/4 of the asking price. And most importantly remember that almost all stores that sell carpets, jewelry, handicrafts, etc. pay huge amounts of commission (25% up to even 50%!) to the cab drivers, hence avoid tourist taxis, cabs, etc. Another thing to remember is not to haggle just for the fun of it. The shopkeepers may take offence if you don't buy an item after they have agreed to your price. One of the places that you can trust is The World Trade Centre (in Cuffe Parade, near Hotel Taj President). Osim što je jedino Svjetsko trgovinsko središte u Mumbaiju, ovo mjesto ima i nevjerojatan niz izvrsnih tepiha, rukotvorina, šalova itd. S poznatim trgovinama i državnim emporijama. Tražite račune svugdje, uključujući barove, i provjerite što ste bili. naplaćuje se. Nikada nemojte prihvatiti ponudu vodiča ili pratnju nekoga s ulice: Sigurno ćete dobiti prijevaru. Ako neko mjesto (uključujući taksije, restorane, trgovine itd.) tvrdi da nema promjene (ovo je vrlo važno malo vjerojatno), inzistirajte da dobiju kusur iz susjedne trgovine.

Namirnice

Pored lokalnih trgovina prehrambenih proizvoda koje se mogu naći na većini ulica, postoje i novi dodaci gradu u obliku novih velikih i malih supermarketa i hipermarketa u kojima možete dobiti sve potrebne prehrambene proizvode. Neki od njih jesu Velika čaršija, Hipercity, DMart, Lokal od špinata, Apna Bazaar.

Ako tražite egzotično voće i povrće, pokušajte Natures Basket.

Jesti

Ovo je ogroman gradski članak , tako da detaljni popisi idu u okružni članci. Ovaj odjeljak trebao bi biti samo kratki pregled.

Iskustvo objeda u otmjenom restoranu u Mumbaiju manje-više je jednako kao bilo gdje drugdje na svijetu. Lako možete pronaći kuhinju s Bliskog Istoka, Zapadne Europe, Sjeverne Amerike i Kine. No, da biste dobili pravi okus onoga što je jedinstveno za Mumbai, morat ćete se spustiti malo niže i iskusiti uličnu hranu i iranske kafiće. Od ožujka 2015. govedina je zabranjena u Maharashtri, a samim tim i u Mumbaiju. Stoga je rijetko pronaći govedinu koja se poslužuje u restoranima. Za pojedine restorane i druga mjesta za jelo idite na stranice pojedinih okruga.

Ne napuštajte Mumbai bez pokušaja:

• Kingfisher plavo pivo (nije uobičajeno u restoranima, već samo u većini "vinoteka" (prodavaonica alkoholnih pića)
• Južnoindijska hrana iz restorana Udupi
• Vada pav (indijski vege burger): poznato je jelo Mumbaija

Također Japengo Cafe u CR2 Mall u Nariman Pointu poslužuje suši. Tetsuma, uz Prive (vjerojatno najbolji noćni klub u gradu), služi prosječni sushi, ali ostala jela vrijedi probati. Najbolje je otići tamo na koktel i nekoliko predjela. 'Tian cafe' u Juhu također je dobro mjesto za sushi.

Ulični štandovi s hranom

Pisane su pjesme o mumbajskoj uličnoj hrani i vidjet ćete da je hype opravdan. Naći ćete ih na svakom uglu ulice, ali koncentrirani su na plažama i oko željezničkih stanica.

• Staje Bhelpuri, Prodaja onoga što bi se u ostatku Indije zvalo chaat. U samom Mumbaiju izraz chaat rijetko se koristi.
• Bhurji, Ili jaje bhurji ili Paneer bhurji, kaša od jaja i nasjeckane rajčice, luka, čilija i puno ulja. Pojede se sa strane s nekim pav. Isprobajte područje Maker Chamber (blizu Crossroads 2, Nariman Point).
• Kineski štandovi s hranom, Naći ćete ih na mnogim mjestima, ali posebno su koncentrirani u blizini željezničke stanice Dadar. Svima su dodani tipični indijski preokreti, zbog čega ih se često naziva "indijskim kineskim". Iako je izvrsnog okusa, higijena ovih mjesta ostavlja mnogo želja.
• Kolutići, Bitno različito meso i sir na žaru i posluženi s malo rotija i začina, jeftini su i veseli za svakoga tko ima želudac koji to može podnijeti. Poznato je da su začinjeni pa ih uvijek tražite da budu blagi. Isprobajte Ayubs (Kala Ghoda), Bade Miyan (iza Taja i blizu Colaba prolaza), Khao Gulli (Food Lane, blizu Mahim Hindu Gymkhane) ili Kareems (Bandra). Svi su posebno zauzeti nakon noći jakog pijenja.
• Sendvič stoji, Jedinstveno razvijen u Mumbaiju, ništa slično nećete naći nigdje drugdje u Indiji ili svijetu.
• Vada pav stoji, Prženi krumpir punjen u kvasnom kruhu. Razvijen za prehranu mlinskih radnika u rastućim mlinicima Mumbaija. Sada ih ima svugdje, posebno na željezničkim postajama. Ovo je specijalitet Mumbaija. U Vile Parle (zapad), isprobajte ulicu S.V Road u blizini Irle preko puta škole Goklibai. Jedna od najpopularnijih su one nasuprot koledža Mithibai koji je udaljen oko 15 minuta hoda od stanice Vile Parle. Isprobajte i onu izvan kolodvora Grant Road i Churchgate.

Savjet: štandovi s jeftinom i ukusnom hranom koncentrirani su oko gradskih koledža.

Hrana na uličnim štandovima u Indiji je fantastična, a jeftina zemlja (možete se napuniti za 20 JPY). Međutim, dobro razmislite što stavljate u usta. Gotovo sigurno je da se voda koristi za piće, čini se da ulični prodavači ne razumiju puno u higijenu ili pranje ruku, a standardi sigurnosti hrane su niski, a muhe bruje o svemu. Čak se i lokalno stanovništvo kloni ulične hrane tijekom monsuna, kada su bolesti sve jače. Ako se staja čini vrlo čistom i ako jasno kaže da koristi Aquaguard ili mineralnu vodu, krenite po nju.

Autentična maratska kuhinja

Pojedinačni oglasi mogu se naći u Mumbaiju okrug članaka

Mumbai, dom velike etničke maratske zajednice, ima svoj dio zapaženih restorana koji nude autentičnu maratsku kuhinju. Većina nudi i zalogaje i redovite obroke. Neki od grickalica koje treba provjeriti su Sabudana Wada, Batata Wada, Missal, Kanda Poha, Uppit (ili Upma), Shira, Alu Wadi, Thalipith, Zunka Bhakari, ghavane (neer dosa) i mnogi drugi. Dva zapažena predjela su Kokam Sarbat i Solkadhi u kojima se najbolje uživa tijekom vrućih ljeta. Ljudi kažu da je mnogim od ovih autentičnih maratskih restorana teško preživjeti natjecanja s drugim modernim restoranima ili restoranima s brzom hranom, ali naći ćete Gajali, Malvan Kinara, Sindhudurg i mnogi drugi zadržali su vlastiti šarm i klijentelu.

Udupi restorani

Pojedinačni oglasi mogu se naći u Mumbaiju okrug članaka

Mangalorijanci (i udupi) tvore visoko turističko stanovništvo Mumbaija, a oba grada imaju gotovo istu kulturu i arhitekturu. "Udupi" restorani (ili "hoteli") su posvuda. Nose ime grada Udupi u Karnataki, ali nemojte se zavarati misleći da su se specijalizirali za kuhinju Udupija. Oni poslužuju gotovo sve, a to je njihova specijalnost.

Obično strogo vegetarijanski, ove su restorane otvorili migranti iz okruga Dakshina Kannada u Karnataka (čiji je dio i Udupi), kako bi se zadovoljila nepca ostalih migranata iz okruga. Vremenom su stekli popularnost kao mjesta za posjedovanje Južnoindijski hrana. Kako su se ukusi njihovih kupaca razvijali, tako su se mijenjali i njihovi jelovnici, toliko da sada uz južnoindijske stvari možete pronaći i Mughlai, indijske Kineze, Bhelpuri i druge chaats. Nevjerojatno, ali neka mjesta poslužuju i imitacije pizza, pljeskavica i sendviča!

Oni su zajednički restorani brze hrane i restorani koji sjede. Razlog da ih posjetite nije iskusiti finu gurmansku hranu, već imati jeftinu, prolazno ukusnu i prilično higijensku hranu. Ne postoji jednostavan način prepoznavanja restorana Udupi; oni nisu lanac restorana i možda u svom imenu nemaju "Udupi", pa ćete to morati pitati.

Matunga (središnja linija) ima najbolju južnoindijsku kartu u Mumbaiju. Malo je restorana koji bi mogli biti naslijeđe jer su stari više od 50 godina i dalje zadržavaju svoj šarm starog svijeta (i namještaj).

Iranski kafići

Pojedinačni oglasi mogu se naći u Mumbaiju okrug članaka

Iranski kafići su kafići u perzijskom stilu koje su otvorili perzijski migranti iz Irana iz 19. stoljeća. Ovi kafići imaju jedinstvenu lijenu atmosferu, izložbu svakodnevnog pribora, uključujući paste za zube iza blagajne, sapune i ono što ne (posebno ciljano na neženja) i namještaj. Većina tih kafića nalazila se na uglu ceste ili zgrade, a putnici su ih odabrali za provod. Bilo je sasvim uobičajeno da ljudi na tim mjestima satima provode čitajući novine uz šalicu čaja. Nažalost, novi restorani i kultura brze hrane gotovo su uklonili ove kafiće s karata, iako to malo tko zna Tvrtka Kyani & Co. i Olimpija ostati. Zglobovi su najpoznatiji po "Irani Chai", "Bun-Maska / Maska Pav" (kruh i maslac) i omleti od jaja. Također su popularni njihovi razni zalogaji, poput Kheema-na-Patice, samosa, mava-na-kolača itd. Jedno od najboljih jela koje je gotovo uvijek na meniju je Kheema (pripremljeno od mljevenog mesa) i pav (kruh). Ne propustite tortu Mawa u Merwan & Co, užurbanom iranskom kafiću pored stanice Grant Road i budite tamo prije 9 sati kad ukusnih kolača ponestane.

Thalis

Ako naručite tali (u prijevodu "tanjur"), na tanjuru ćete dobiti cjeloviti obrok s rotijem ili chappatijem, rižom i mnogim različitim vrstama curryja i skute. Naručivanje talija popularna je opcija kada ste gladni i u žurbi jer se obično poslužuje nevjerojatno brzo. Većina restorana srednje razine ima tali na jelovniku, barem za vrijeme ručka. Povremeno su "neograničene", što znači da su neki od predmeta sve što možete jesti. Konobari ih poslužuju za vašim stolom.

Naravno, možete pronaći mnoge njihove sorte, i vegetarijanske i nevegetarijanske. Tu je južnoindijski tali. "Sjevernoindijski" tali u prijevodu znači Mughlai ili Punjabi. Pokušajte s gudžaratskim ili rajasthani thalisom ako ih možete pronaći. Grešno su zasitni i ukusni. Rajdhani (na tržnici Crawford) poslužuje taliju u rajasthanskom stilu, dok Aram (u blizini crkve Mahim, Mahim), Ramanayak Udipi (na kolodvoru Matunga, istok) servira tali u južnoindijskom stilu, a Shree Thakker Bhojanalaya (kod ceste Kalbadevi) vrši punjenje. i nevjerojatan gudžaratski thalis.

Lanci brze hrane

Iznenađujuće je da u Mumbaiju ne postoji lanac brze hrane koji poslužuje indijsku kuhinju. Ali zapadni lanci poput McDonaldsa, Subwaya, Pizza kolibe, Dominosa, Kentucky Fried Chicken itd. Imaju mnoštvo prodajnih mjesta po cijelom gradu. Ali ako ste umorni zapadnjak koji traži okus poznatog, budite upozoreni da su svi poprilično indijanizirali svoje jelovnike, pa će vam tamo stvari biti toliko egzotične koliko ste pronašli bambayyjsku hranu. Međutim, Barista, Dan kave u kafiću, i Smokin 'Joe's svi su indijski lanci, iako ne poslužuju indijsku hranu. Dok Barista i Cafe Coffee Day, kao što im imena govore, poslužuju kavu i peciva, Smokin 'Joe's poslužuje pristojne pizze i sjedište ima u Carmichael Rd u Mumbaiju. Međunarodni lanci kave poput The Coffee Bean i Tea Leaf, Aromas imaju poslovnice u Mumbaiju.

Naturals je lanac prodavaonica sladoleda koji poslužuje ukusne i nekonvencionalne okuse sladoleda. Isprobajte nježni sladoled od kokosa ili oraha od kave. Njegova je glavna podružnica u Juhuu u zapadnom predgrađu (otuda i slogan - 'Sladoled Juhu sheme'), ali ima franšize na mnogim mjestima, uključujući Marine Drive, Bandra, Nepean sea road, itd. Naturals je također poznat po sezonskim sezonama "Sitaphal" ili sladoled od kreme od jabuke. Baskins-Robbins međunarodni je lanac sladoleda koji je prisutan u cijelom gradu. Također postoji niz trgovina u trgovačkim centrima, kao i na drugim mjestima koja poslužuju talijanski sladoled Gelato.

Isprobajte raskošne kremaste palačinke i omlete na stanici Crepe, Bandra. U vlasništvu je poznatog bollywoodskog glumca Dina Moree.

Što jesti

Traženje prijedloga od lokalnog stanovništva zabavan je način isprobavanja novih stvari. Evo nekoliko prijedloga:

• Bhel Puri & sev puri, Klasična mumbajska izmišljotina, bhel-puri (ili skraćeno bhel) sastoji se uglavnom od napuhane riže i raznih začina s nekoliko chutneya. Možete odrediti želite li pikantno ili nežno, a prodavač će to napraviti za vas. Prilično je ukusno i opet bi ga trebalo pojesti s ulice da bi se dobio pravi okus. Većina ljudi voli hrliti na plažu Juhu kako bi ovo isprobala.
• Hapus (Alphonso) mango, Morate probati, ako se slučajno ljeti nalazite u Mumbaiju.
• Indijsko-kineski, Ništa poput običnog kineskog. Za tipičan okus Bambaiyya isprobajte Kineski Bhelpuri!.
• Sladoled Mewad, Ako ste slučajno u Mumbaiju, preporučuje se izbjegavanje sladoleda iz poznatih i skupih salona i isprobavanje jeftinih štandova za sladoled Mewad. Lijepa su poslastica po svojoj cijeni i nude puno mogućnosti. Prodavače ima svugdje preko ulice, ali izbjegavajte one koji se čine nehigijenima.
• Pani Puri, Dobavljač vam dodaje tanjur. Dalje uzima pure (izgleda poput loptice za golf, ali smeđe boje), napravi u njoj malu rupu i umoči pure u dvije staklenke. Te staklenke sadrže vodu, jednu tangi na osnovi tamarinda, a drugu začinjenu na bazi metvice. Prelijeva je nekim začinima i stavlja pročišćenje na vaš tanjur. Odaberete je rukom i cijelu stvar strpate u usta. Da biste izbjegli želučane probleme, kupujte od prodavača samo pakiranu vodu.
• Pav Bhaji, Dio kulture ulične hrane, to je pire od povrća, kuhano u začinima, preliveno maslacem i posluženo u cjevovodima vruće s pav. Široko dostupno.
• Vada Pav, vada je pire od pire krumpira. Pav je vrsta kruha koji svoje korijene vuče iz Mumbaija. (Riječ dolazi od portugalske riječi "pão", za kruh). Pljeskavica od krumpira ubačena je u kruh. U sendvič se dodaju liberalne porcije tri vrste chutneya kako bi se napravio ukusan međuobrok. Široko je dostupan na ulicama i obično košta oko ₹ 6 po komadu. Ako se osjećate nelagodno zbog higijene određenog štanda, izbjegavajte ga. U tom slučaju jesti u, Jumbo kralj Vada Pav prodajna mjesta, koja se mogu naći na gotovo svim željezničkim postajama u gradu, higijenska je i sigurnija opcija.
• Varijacije svjetske kuhinje poput piletine Tandoori Chicken, pizze Bombay Masala ili pljeskavice McAloo Tikki.

Napojnice

Napojnice se ne očekuju, ali bile bi zahvalne. Međutim, ako neko mjesto uključuje račune za usluge na računu, ne morate ostavljati dodatni savjet. Obratite pažnju na razliku između poreza na uslugu i naknade za uslugu. Porez na usluge ide Vladi, a ne osoblju.

Piće

Pubovi i barovi

Pojedinačni oglasi mogu se naći u Mumbaiju okrug članaka

Piće i vožnja Vožnja pod utjecajem alkohola u Indiji se smatra ozbiljnim prekršajem. U slučaju nesreće, zakon ozbiljno postupa s počiniteljima alkoholnih pića. Kazna je novčana kazna i / ili zatvor do 6 mjeseci. Vozačka dozvola oduzima se najmanje šest mjeseci.

U tijeku je policijsko suzbijanje mnogih popularnih barova i klubova (lipanj 2012.), pa budite oprezni prilikom posjeta barovima nižeg i srednjeg ranga. Mumbaj je jedan od najliberalnijih gradova u Indiji što se tiče stava prema alkoholu. Barovi postoje na gotovo svakom uglu ulice i mnogi se od njih reklamiraju kao "obiteljski" barovi i restorani, što ukazuje da su to prvenstveno restorani u kojima se također može popiti piće. Druga su mjesta prije svega barovi, neki od njih mogu biti ljigavi. U južnom Mumbaiju i zapadnom predgrađu vjerojatno ćete pronaći mnoga mjesta na kojima se stranci druže.

Mumbai mnogo više prihvaća žene koje piju nego ostatak Indije. Žena koja naručuje piće vjerojatno neće podići obrve čak ni u barovima srednje klase, iako ako ste sami, možda ćete morati pripaziti na svoju sigurnost.

Noćni život u Mumbaiju obuhvaća raspon od nastupa u hotelima s pet zvjezdica do diskoteka. Plesne barove u kojima sudjeluju mlade potpuno odjevene žene koje plešu uglavnom na hindski film i pop glazbu, zatvorila je vlada zbog "kvarenja morala" onih koji često posjećuju ta mjesta. Iako je državni viši sud presudio da je protuzakonito protuzakonito, proći će neko vrijeme prije nego što se ponovno otvore, jer postoje neke tehničke stvari koje će se riješiti.

U Mumbaiju je alkohol puno lakše dostupan od mnogih gradova u Indiji.

LGBT mogućnosti

Već postoji živahna kasna noć, iako pomalo podzemna, scena za homoseksualce, kao i društvene i političke mreže. Međutim, prije dolaska morate napraviti domaću zadaću, jer LGBT okupljališta i organizacije nisu objavljeni niti dostupni na lokalnim kioscima. Međutim, Bombay Dost (Bombay Friends) jedini magazin koji opskrbljuje zajednicu, nakon 7 godina rada zatvoren je i pokrenut 2009. Veliki dio LGBT scene u Mumbaiju koordinira se pomoću web lokacija i grupa za društvene mreže. Budite izuzetno oprezni; pljačke, prevaranti, pa čak i zarobljavanje policije nisu nečuveni.

Kavane

U Mumbaiju i okolici ima mnogo kafića. Isprobajte Dan kave u kafiću i Barista lanci. Također, tri trgovine Starbucksa otvorene su u Mumbaiju krajem 2012. godine, a vjerojatno će uslijediti još. Ovo su najbolje u gradu, a uz njih se jeftino poslužuje i prilično uredna kava. Tu je Kafić Mocha lanac kafića koji također služe udice s okusom voća - lule za pušenje u Južnoj Aziji. Ako je malo mjesto za kavu i kolačiće ono što tražite, pokušajte Teobroma, ima izlaz u Cusrow Baugu u Colabi. Oni koji traže izvorniji oblik kave mogu probati filter kavu, mliječnu kavu porijeklom iz Južne Indije, iz bilo kojeg restorana Udupi.

Spavati

Vrlo je teško pronaći povoljne hotele u Mumbaiju. Ako ste turist ili poslovni putnik, možda ćete morati boraviti u južnom Mumbaiju, gdje su i poslovna četvrt i turistička područja. Nedostatak prostora znači da čak i najjeftiniji hotel naplaćuje stratosferske tarife. Stanje javnog prijevoza i prometa znači da zapravo nije dobar izbor boraviti bilo gdje drugdje. U svakom slučaju, stvari ne stoje puno bolje ako tražite hotele u blizini zračne luke. Trebali biste gledati Zapadno predgrađe u tom slučaju. U Colabi ima mnogo pansiona u kojima ćete pronaći većinu povoljnih stranih putnika. Ostali povoljni hoteli nalaze se u blizini željezničkih stanica, kao što su Dadar ili Santa cruz, ali većina su apsolutna smetlišta. Jedno sigurno i ekonomično mjesto za boravak u Mumbaiju je YMCA. Smještaj po povoljnim cijenama dostupan je u podružnicama Colaba, Bombay Central, Andheri i CBD Belapur.

Jedna jeftina alternativa je život s lokalnom obitelji kao gosta koji plaća. Popis dostupnih obitelji može se dobiti u turističkom uredu vlade Indije (91 22 2220 7433) nasuprot željezničke stanice Churchgate.

S druge strane, ako novac nema predmeta, možete odsjesti u Taj u Colabi (najstariji u Indiji), Leeli Kempinski, ITC Grand Maratha ili JW Marriott Mumbai, Renaissance Mumbai Hotel & Convention Center. Popisi hotela nalaze se na stranicama okruga.

Kampiranje

Bez obzira želite li se družiti sa svojim bliskim prijateljima, provesti neko vrijeme sa svojom obitelji ili želite pobjeći od betonske džungle, pronaći ćete mnoštvo mjesta u blizini Mumbaija.

Kampiranje se može sigurno obavljati na mjestima kao što su:

• Jezero Kaas - na platou Kaas (poznato po cvijeću)
• Lonavala - brdska stanica u okrugu Pune
  • Rajmachi - u blizini Lonavale i dvije poznate utvrde
  • Jezero Tungarli - u blizini Lonavale
  • Jezero Valvan - nalazište brane Valvan u Lonavali
• Mahableshwar - izvor rijeke Krišne (okrug Satara)
• Matheran - brdska stanica (okrug Raigad)
• Panchgani - mali grad (okrug Satara)
• Kašid i Phansad - mjesto utočišta za ptice Phansad

Spojiti

Fiksni telefoni

Pozivni broj Mumbaija je "22" (prefiks "91", ako zovete izvan Indije). Telefonski brojevi imaju osam znamenki, ali povremeno ćete pronaći sedmoznamenkasti broj. To je vjerojatno stari popis. Prebacili su sa sedam na osam znamenki prije nekoliko godina, kada su dopustili privatnim pružateljima usluga da nude telefon. Samo dodajte prefiks "2" na broj i trebao bi funkcionirati sasvim u redu.

Telefoni s govornicom

Telefonske govornice možete pronaći po cijelom gradu. Iako se njima upravlja na kovanice, mjesto obično ima netko tko će upravljati njima. (Uobičajeno je da su telefoni priključeni na trgovinu uz cestu.) Morate nastaviti stavljati novčiće od 1 into u utor kako biste produžili vrijeme razgovora, pa neka vam pri ruci ostane kusur od ₹ 1. Osoba koja upravlja kabinom obično će ih imati. Ako nađete govornicu s oznakom STD / ISD, možete nazvati međunarodno ili bilo gdje unutar države. Naknade će se naplaćivati ​​u skladu s utrošenim vremenom i mjeračem vremena kako biste pratili svoje vrijeme. Plaćate kad završite poziv. Često je teško pronaći onu koja je otvorena rano ujutro ili kasno u noć.

Mobiteli

Pokrivenost mobitela u gradu je izvrsna. Mnogi pružatelji usluga nude široku paletu planova. Među njima su i The MTNL, Vodafone, Airtel, Dupin, Oslanjanje, i Tata Indicom. Možda bi bilo dobro kupiti mobitel i upotrijebiti jedan od onih pretplaćenih planova kako biste se povezali dok ste u gradu.

Svi brojevi mobitela imaju 10 znamenki i počinju s "9", "8" ili "7". Ne birajte gradski predbroj za brojeve mobitela. Ako ne dođete do broja mobitela, pokušajte dodati "0" prije nego što ga nazovete.

Zbog sigurnosnih prijetnji, za kupnju SIM kartice trebat ćete dostaviti formalnu identifikaciju.

Cyber ​​kafići

Cyber ​​kafići se nalaze na gotovo svakom uglu ulice, a cijene su prilično niske. Vjerojatno nisu išli u korak s napretkom u hardveru ili softveru, pa ako se nađete u nekom od njih, nemojte se iznenaditi ako vam zapne stvarno mali monitor, Windows XP i Internet Explorer 5.0. Također bi mogla biti problem i sigurnost podataka. Iz predostrožnosti promijenite lozinku nakon što je upotrijebite u cybercafeu ili pregledavate privatno / anonimno.

WiFi

Pronalaženje WiFi-a bit će teško u mnogim dijelovima Mumbaija, međutim, gotovo sve željezničke stanice nadograđene su 'RailWire' WiFi-om koji pokreće Google koji vam omogućuje pregledavanje 45 minuta brzinom od 5-10 Mbps. RailWire Wi-Fi zahtijeva autentifikaciju s vašim brojem mobitela i OTP-om. WiFi je dostupan i u većini hotela i restorana. WiFi u zračnoj luci osigurava Vodafone.

Poštanske i kurirske usluge

• Indijska poštanska služba
• Privatne kurirske tvrtke
  • DHL
  • UPS,
  • TNT, DTDC itd.

Sjedište indijske poštanske službe smješteno je u GPO, samoj veličanstvenoj kolonijalnoj arhitekturi; pored C.S.T. željeznička stanica. Druga glavna poslovnica može se naći u Dadaru (E) na ulici Ambedkar Rd.

Ostati siguran

Nasilni zločin u Mumbaiju manje-više je poput bilo kojeg drugog velikog indijskog grada.

Najbolje je pogriješiti što se tiče sigurnosti i ponašati se u skladu s lokalnim okruženjem. Evo nekoliko osnovnih sigurnosnih savjeta:

• Čuvajte novac i kreditne kartice u svakom trenutku. Uvijek nosite nešto gotovine jer mnoga mjesta neće uzeti kartice.
• Nemojte javno prikazivati ​​bilješke u iznosu od ₹ 500 i ₹ 2000. Dostupne novčanice su ₹ 10, ₹ 20, ₹ 50, ₹ 100, ₹ 500 i ₹ 2000, a kovanice dostupne za nadmetanje su ₹ 1, ₹ 2, ₹ 5 i ₹ 10. Pazite se da vam netko ne daje novčanice bilo koje druge denominacije (premda je to vrlo malo vjerojatno; jer bi ih morali zamijeniti s Indijskom rezervnom bankom; središnjom bankom Indije). Indijska vlada demonizirala je stare novčanice od 500 i 1000 funti u studenom 2016.
• Bilo je slučajeva kada su Kaali-Peeli (crno-žuti) taksisti obmanjivali ljude, uglavnom turiste, uzimajući duže rute, doplaćujući prtljagu, petljajući u brojilo i zavarajući putnika mijenjajući ₹ 500 s novčanicom od ₹ 100 u razlomku sekundi i natjerajući putnika da povjeruje da je predao novčanicu od 100 JPY. Stoga, kako biste izbjegli da vas prevare, za putovanje na posao preferirajte taksi usluge bazirane na aplikacijama poput Ole i Ubera.
• Pazite se džeparoša u autobusima i vlakovima. Ne stavljajte novčanik ili druge dragocjenosti u vanjske džepove torbe, tako da ih netko može izvaditi bez da to primijetite.
• Također se čuvajte mobilnih, lančanih ili otimača torbi koji djeluju na gusto naseljenim mjestima, kao što su željezničke stanice, prometne ceste i prometna signalizacija.
• Žene koje putuju vlakom, pogotovo izvan rutnih ruta, trebale bi putovati u drugom razredu gdje se također nalazi barem nekoliko suvozača.
• Žene (pogotovo zapadnjake) trebaju izbjegavati mjesta gdje su gužve, možda vas dobro napipaju. Slučajevi muškog štipanja ili dodirivanja žena česti su na prepunim javnim mjestima, uključujući ljepše noćne lonce. Stvorite scenu ako vam se to dogodi, oko vas će biti dovoljno ljudi koji će vam stati u obranu. Općenito, u Mumbaiju, ako ste ikad zabrinuti za svoju sigurnost, napravite glasan prizor. Grad je izuzetno prepun, a netko je uvijek u blizini i spreman je pomoći.
• Žene nikada ne bi smjele dizati ljude od stranaca. Zapadne žene turistice trebale bi imati na umu da, ako posjete diskoteku ili pub u Mumbaiju ili Indiji, nemojte ići liftom ili se čak previše družiti s nepoznatim ljudima. You will almost certainly get conned, if not worse. Many Indian men presume that if you're foreign you must be easy.
• Don't ever let an auto or taxi you are traveling in pick up any more people, or pull over before your final destination.
• Police can sometimes be almost as shady as criminals in Mumbai. At night, women should ensure if they are ever stopped by police, there needs to be a female police officer present or they are well within their rights in demanding the presence of a woman cop.
• Think twice about eating food that has not been thoroughly heated. This may be especially true if you're eating street food.

Stay healthy

• Hrana As elsewhere in India, be careful with what you eat. Outside of major tourist hotels and restaurants, stay away from raw leafy vegetables, egg-based dressings like mayonnaise and minced meat are particularly risky. In short, stick to boiled, baked, fried, or peeled goods.
• Voda Opinions on tap water vary, but most visitors choose to stick to the bottled stuff. Large bottles of water can be purchased at a very low cost. When buying water from street vendors, make sure the lid is sealed, there have been cases of bottles being filled with tap water, and sold as new.
• Fitness Numerous fitness centers exist throughout the city. Many exercise facilities and spas offer 24 hour memberships for visitors, and are a popular way to unwind after a long day of touring in Mumbai.
• Smog can reach unhealthful levels, especially during the dry season. This, coupled with the summer heat and humidity can make spending time outdoors quite unpleasant.
