Mumbai has all the trappings of a world class holiday destination – top of the line attractions and sights, vibrant culture, great accommodation options and yummy local cuisine. With so much on offer, it is quite apparent why luxury holidays to Mumbai are so immensely popular. Check out some of the major tourist traps of the city.

Heaps of families, couples and vendors can be found at the place all throughout the day. Tourists on luxury holidays to Mumbai can also find a range of luxury Mumbai hotels close the Gateway of India.
Haji Ali Dargah
Haji Ali Dargah is a scintillating illustration of Indo Islamic architecture. It is a mosque-tomb that is located in Mahim Bay of Mumbai and can be reached through a narrow causeway only at low tide. It is an apt allure for those looking for some spiritual bliss.

Festivals in Mumbai
By being a part of a festival is a wonderful way to get yourself acquainted with the local culture. Mumbai celebrates a number of festivals and events with most of them being acknowledged all over the country. However there are few festivals whose festivities are more or less restricted to the boundaries of Maharashtra. Gudhi Padava is one such wonderful festival that is celebrated by Mumbaikars (Demonym for people of Mumbai) with great zeal. The festival marks the beginning of New Year in the region.
