Mumbai

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is the busiest airport in India. Expect it to take around 90 minutes to get into the city centre as the traffic can be quite heavy. To get to the city centre, you can either go by train, bus, rickshaw, taxi or by renting a car. The fastest option is the train. The nearest station to the domestic terminal is Vile Parle and the nearest one to the international terminal is called Sahar. Buses are another option, with numerous stops throughout the city. Route 312 connects the domestic terminals to Vile Parle (East) and Andheri (East) railway stations, while routes 321 and 308 serve the international terminal, linking it to Vile Parle East and Andheri (East) respectively. Auto rickshaws, three-wheeled metered vehicles, operate primarily in the suburbs, from Borivili to Bandra in the western suburbs and up to Sion in the central suburbs. Additionally, numerous private taxi providers and car rental services are available at the airport.

There is no shortage of taxis in Mumbai and they can be easily found throughout the city. Taxis usually have meters, just make sure the driver starts it at the beginning of your journey. Consider Uber or Ola as an alternative to taxis when getting around Mumbai. If possible, avoid hailing taxis late at night. Use app-based services that allow you to share your ride details and location for added security.

Numerous post offices are located throughout the city, making it easy to find places to buy stamps and to post letters. Letters can be posted in the letter boxes sparsely located within the city, easy to find thanks to their characteristic vivid red colour.

Some of the main pharmacy chains in Mumbai, include Apollo Pharmacy, MedPlus, Wellness Forever, and Noble Medicals. This last one boasts several locations across the city, and most of them are open 24 hours.
