๐ฎ๐ณ Mumbai
Namaste
During White Nights in June, the city's historic drawbridges open at 1 am simultaneously to let ships through the Neva River โ watched by thousands from the Palace Embankment. It's free, atmospheric, and unmissable. Book Hermitage tickets online a day ahead; walk-up queues in summer can be 2โ3 hours.
Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood โ rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.
