Time Out Mumbai and Goa (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)
Compiled by the staff of Time Out Mumbai, this is the definitive guide to the area.A chaotic, 13-million-strong melting pot of ethnic groups from all over India, Mumbai--still called Bombay by many who live there--is India's economic engine and home to the world's largest film industry. Hooked on money, glamour and corruption, the city is now reinventing itself. New bars, restaurants and shopping malls are multiplying to service a thriving middle class; new construction is frenzied; and TV, radio and print media are booming.
Six hundred kilometres away, the golden beaches of Goa feel like another country. Still the party paradise it always was, Goa is now determined to go upmarket, restoring its capital city, turning heritage sites into boutique hotels and hosting an annual international film festival that hopes one day to rival Cannes. Drawing on insider expertise, Time Out is uniquely placed to guide you through both locales.
