|  A
holiday in Mumbai will enchant the tourist with a view of spectacular
monuments like the majestic Victoria Terminus and the impressive
Gateway of India, along with the beautiful beaches and not to be
missed tour of the Prince of Wales museum and the Bombay Natural
History Museum to know more about India's wildlife. You can enjoy
long walks at Marine Drive, Mumbai's distinctive curving seafront
avenue that connects the skyscrapers of Nariman Point to the green
villas of Malabar Hill. This is also popularly known as the Queen's
Necklace as it forms a sprinkling curve at night. Another not to
be missed attraction is the Juhu Beach that offers innumerable food
stalls, performers, and camel and pony rides. Landmark monuments
in Mumbai include the Gateway of India and Flora fountain. Gateway
of India is a graceful ceremonial archway built to commemorate the
arrival of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911. Flora Fountain
is situated at a busy 5-point intersection in the heart of Mumbai's
commercial area.
This city is also called the port city as this is the largest and
busiest port of India. It has one of world's largest harbors. In
a recent survey of cities compiled, Mumbai is the fifth most expensive
city in the world. 40% of this island city consists of reclaimed
land from the sea.
