You already know a lot about Mumbai but if you want to explore the place let me help you…
Whenever you are trying to visit any places first question which comes in the mind is “which is the best season”
Best season to visit : Summer season is highly sticky and humid so avoid during the month of summer (specially in may and june). In rainy season this is difficult to explore the most of the areas. Therefore best season to visit Mumbai is from September to April however selection of time is totally upto your wish.
How to reach : Best way to travel from Delhi is by Air which may vary by place to place. I was travelling from Delhi so i have decided to go by flight.Flights from Delhi to Mumbai is quite cheaper and will start from the range of 2000-3000 per person.

Good news for the fans of king khan, king’s house “Mannat” is present here facing the sea. Also you can see the Salman khan’s apartment here.
Film City : As the name suggest, this is the place where shooting are going on for some of the tv shows, serials and movies. As per my opinion this is not worth visiting the place. You will get a bus from outside of film city and they will provide you an ID card. You will go inside the film city but you will not be able to see the shooting because they don’t have the permission to stop the bus. They will stop the bus at some places. You will be able to see the Mandir which is shown in lots of movies and also some other places.
Haji Ali Dargah : Dargah is a tomb and a mosque that is named after Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, one of the greatest muslim saint of his time. This is located on the middle of the Arabian Sea.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) : Earlier know as Victoria Terminal (VT) is very beautiful property. This is listed in UNESCO world heritage site.

Bollywood : So the most important part of Mumbai is Bollywood. If you are lucky enough you can see some celebrities around the city also you can see the places of different celebrities so this is the city where people are coming empty handed and return with the entire empire.
What to Eat : The most popular dish is “Vada Pav”. If you are travelling to Mumbai then a bite of delicious and mouth-watering vada Pav is a must try. Except this you can try here the street foods which are spicy and delicious. You can also try bhel puri, ice creams, fried rice.
When to avoid : If you want to visit mumbai, 1-2 days are enough but if you want to know mumbai you must need to spent more time. Important part is if you want to cover it in 1-2 days then select Saturday and Sunday because on weekdays you will just hate the traffic of mumbai specially in work hours. If you are in weekdays then avoid work hours.
How to travel within Mumbai :
1. Taxi service : You can get taxi services everywhere. You don’t have to ask about money, you just have to sit and ask them to go to the desired place and then you have to pay the INR as meter shows. This is quite good for me as i am living in Delhi and here you have to bargain with the taxi and auto drivers.
2. Mumbai local : Mumbai breath by its local train, lots of people daily travel from the local. During the peak hour there is lot of rush and try to avoid it but for the people who can not afford more, this is the best way to travel.
