Spend your first day exploring the stunning beaches of North Goa. Begin your day at the popular Baga Beach for a swim and some breakfast at one of the several shacks-like cafes along the beach. Next, head over to Calangute Beach which is known for its water sports activities. Lastly, visit the serene and picturesque Anjuna Beach which is famous for its flea market on Wednesdays.
Start your day by exploring the capital city of Goa, Panaji. Visit the ancient Basilica of Bom Jesus, which is home to the remains of Saint Francis Xavier, followed by the beautifully-painted Se Cathedral. Next, make your way to the enchanting Fontainhas, the Latin Quarter of Goa for a walk around the quaint streets and coloured houses. Finish off your day by taking a river cruise along the Mandovi river at sunset.
Embark on a cultural journey to visit some iconic spots in South Goa. Start your day at the magnificent Shri Mangeshi Temple for a glimpse into Hindu culture and architecture. Afterwards, head to the historic Palácio do Deão for a tour of the palace and an authentic Goan meal. Finally, soak in the sunset at the serene Agonda Beach, known for its clean waters, soft sand and tranquility.
If you have more time in Goa, consider taking a day trip to Dudhsagar Falls or Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary. For those with less time, consider removing the visit to Anjuna Beach from Day 1, or staying for a night in South Goa to make the travel easier.
