Bombay

Bombay, located on the west coast of India, is India's commercial and entertainment capital as well as the third most populous city in the world. Thanks to the strategic location of the port, the city handles almost half of the goods traffic of the entire country. The name of the city, which dates back to the 16th century, derives from the Hindu goddess, Mumbadevi, and from Aai, which means mother in the Marathi language.

The term was first coined by the Portuguese who, once they reached the coasts of the country, decided to maintain part of the ancient name of the names, a pronunciation that has remained to this day. When the British first arrived in India in the 17th century, they decided to adapt it and the immediate consequence was a gap. On the one hand, the Marathi and Gujarati-speaking populations maintained the pronunciation "Mumbai" or "Mambai", while the form "Bambai" was chosen in Hindustani and Persian.

The official choice of the city's name has long been the subject of tension and political pressure on the government, until in 1995, the government officially chose "Mumbai". The old name has not been completely abandoned, it is still sometimes used informally and still appears in the names of some official institutions and private bodies. If you think of lavish scenes of singing and dancing, love stories full of drama and scenographies rich in colors and splendor, what is the first thing that comes to mind? I have no doubts, the right answer is only one: BOLLYWOOD. The city is undoubtedly known all over the world for being the capital of Indian cinema.

Known worldwide as Bollywood, a pun between the name of Bombay and Hollywood, it is the largest film industry in the world whose origins date back to the 19th century. If you are a movie lover and want to immerse yourself in this culture there are a series of unmissable places including: the SJ Studios, the Regal Cinema and the Bandstand Promenade. If you think that's all there is, you're wrong! The city is full of unmissable places of interest. Colada is certainly one of the most characteristic and authentic areas of the city and offers a series of different attractions to immerse yourself in the local culture. Here you can devote yourself to unbridled shopping in local shops, enjoy an excellent coffee inside the well-known Leopold Caffè, observe buildings and monuments of the English colonial period up close and one of the most iconic symbols of the city, the Gateway of India.

Also in charge of the city are the numerous temples and religious places. From this point of view, the place most visited by tourists every year is Shree Siddhivinayak.

Immersed in the traffic of the city, it stands out for its beauty, majesty and for the atmosphere rich in songs, incense that you breathe when visiting this place. Anyone who has visited this place describes themselves as a different person once they leave there, do you want to know your inner self better and get more in touch with your spirituality, what are you waiting for? A visit to this magical place is what's right for you! In a city so rich in splendor and colors, nightlife is a guaranteed fun for all people of all kinds.

From discos to cocktail bars to lounge bars with breathtaking views, every moment is good for partying! One of the best ways to reach the city is on board a cruise ship.
