Tips

If you have extra time, add a day to explore the quieter beaches of South Goa such as Agonda or add a spice plantation tour for a culinary twist. To shorten the trip, combine North and South Goa highlights into a single day by focusing on the most iconic spots (Fort Aguada, Baga, Old Goa, and Palolem) and skipping the market and optional cruise.
