10 days in Mumbai & Goa Itinerary

Only one word accurately describes India's commercial capital Mumbai: big.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Mumbai: Juma Masjid (in Navi Mumbai) and St.John the Baptist Church (in Thane). There's still lots to do: make a trip to Gateway of India, get outside with Marine Drive, take an in-depth tour of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, and steep yourself in history at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
