To quote the beloved title sequence from Phineas and Ferb, the annual problem of the generation is to find a good way to spend our summer vacation.

Don’t fret; we at Sunday mid-day surfed through countless pages to make you the itinerary for the perfect summer in Mumbai based on your child’s preferences.
