Amongst its myriad beaches, churches and wildlife parks, you are definitely going to forget the mundane world you come from. Goa leads several lists for weekend getaways from Mumbai, giving you an exquisite option to have the time of your life, and to live one more day. ii. Shirdi: Shirdi is not your runaway romantic destination but a little bit of spiritualism is not going to do any damage to your kidneys, right? So, take a weekend off from your messed up city life and detoxify your soul before the reverent Sai Baba by paying him homage in his obituary and exploring the many religious and natural attractions of his home town. Shirdi surely is a coveted getaway. iii. Pune: Though there are several places to visit in Mumbai for couple, a Pune trip can be quite refreshing because of the amalgamation of history and nature which the city pours on your platter. It has some formidable forts, a few appeasing temples and some of the most pocket-friendly restaurants and resorts. iv.
