The northern beach suburb — Juhu, with its long (if crowded) sandy beach, sizzling street-food stalls, big hotels and Bollywood mansions, near the airport. Relaxed, breezy and away from the intensity of the south, handy for the airport and Bandra; the base for travellers who want a beach, sea breezes and space, accepting a long haul to the colonial sights. A laid-back, seaside alternative to the city crush.

- 5.Mumbai street food — Mumbai is India's street-food capital, and grazing it is a joy — vada pav (the city's beloved potato-fritter burger), pav bhaji, bhel puri, pani puri and fresh seafood, sizzling on carts from Chowpatty to Juhu. Cheap, delicious and endlessly varied, it's the tastiest way to experience the city; try a vada pav from a street stall, a plate of bhel on the beach, and a kulfi to finish. An essential, flavour-packed part of any Mumbai visit. Eat where the locals queue. Utterly delicious.
- 14.Juhu Beach — The big northern beach — Juhu, a long stretch of sand where Mumbai comes to unwind, especially at sunset, amid horse rides, funfair stalls and a legendary line-up of street-food carts serving pav bhaji, bhel and more. Not for swimming, but great for the atmosphere and the food, with Bollywood mansions lining the shore behind. Join the crowds, snack as you stroll, and watch the sun sink into the Arabian Sea. A lively, local seaside scene near the airport and Bandra. Fun and free.
