Start your trip with a visit to Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage site which showcases the rich history of the city. Marvel at the impressive Baroque architecture of the Basilica of Bom Jesus, home to the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, one of the patron saints of Goa. Continue your journey to the Se Cathedral, the largest church in Asia, and end with a visit to the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, richly decorated with scenes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi.
No visit to Goa is complete without exploring its beaches. Start your day with a visit to the idyllic Mandrem Beach, famous for its white sand and clear blue waters. Head over to Vagator Beach to witness the stunning view of the Chapora Fort, famous for its appearance in the Bollywood movie, Dil Chahta Hai. End your day at Palolem Beach, a crescent-shaped beach famous for its nightlife, seafood, and dolphin spotting.
Experience the serenity of nature with a visit to the Sahakari Spice Farm, where you can witness a range of spices, fruits, and herbal plants. Their guided tour offers a glimpse into traditional Goan farming techniques and an opportunity to sample local delicacies. End your trip with a visit to the quaint Fontainhas, the Latin quarter of Panjim city, where you can admire the colourful Portuguese-style houses and enjoy authentic Goan cuisine.
If you have additional time, consider adding a visit to the Flea Market at Anjuna Beach, held every Wednesday, for a chance to purchase unique souvenirs. For a more adventurous experience, take a trek to Dudhsagar Falls or visit one of the many water sports centres. If you have less time, consider removing the trip to Sahakari Spice Farm and spend an extra day at the beaches. Always carry sunscreen and remain hydrated.
