Shopping
Mumbai is India's great marketplace, with some of the best shopping in the country - in
its stores, ancient bazaars and on sidewalks.
Be sure to spend a day at the markets around CST for the classic Mumbai shopping ex-
perience. In Fort, booksellers, with surprisingly good wares (not all pirated), set up shop
daily on the sidewalks around Flora Fountain. Snap up a bargain backpacking wardrobe at
Fashion Street
(MG Rd)
, the strip of stalls lining MG Rd between Cross and Azad Maidans, or
on Bandra's Linking Rd, near Waterfield Rd. Hone your bargaining skills. Kemp's Corner
has many good shops for designer threads.
