Mumbai
India
Mumbai is India at full volume: the Gateway of India and the colonial Kala Ghoda ensemble, Marine Drive's Art Deco curve (the 'Queen's Necklace' after dark), dabbawalas and Bollywood, and street food — vada pav, pav bhaji, bhel — that defines the city. The commercial heart with the biggest heart.
