Built-in the 17th century, the Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most famous landmarks in Goa. It holds the remains of St. Francis Xavier and boasts of baroque architecture. Visitors can take a guided tour of the church and museum to learn about the history and significance of the church.
A four-tiered waterfall located on the Mandovi River, the Dudhsagar Waterfalls are a stunning sight to behold. Visitors can take a dip in the natural pools or trek to the top of the falls for a spectacular bird's-eye view. The falls are surrounded by lush greenery and offer a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Pristine white sand, turquoise water, and coconut palms swaying in the breeze make Palolem Beach one of the most spectacular beaches in Goa. The beach is dotted with shacks and restaurants, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing day by the sea. Visitors can take a boat ride to Butterfly Island or visit the nearby Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary.
If visitors have more time, they can explore the old town of Panaji or visit the Aguada Fort. If they have less time, they can skip Dudhsagar Waterfalls and spend the day exploring the beaches of South Goa. It's advisable to visit the churches early morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds.
