Start your day at the Basilica of Bom Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest churches in India. Continue to the Se Cathedral, a massive 16th-century Portuguese-Gothic cathedral. Afterward, visit the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, a Baroque-style church that houses a museum with artifacts from the Portuguese era. End your day at the Fontainhas, the Latin Quarter of Panaji, known for its colorful houses, winding streets, and art galleries.
Start your day at Baga Beach, known for its water sports activities, shacks, and nightlife. Next, head to Calangute Beach, the largest and most popular beach in Goa. Afterward, visit Anjuna Beach, known for its flea market and hippie culture. End your day at Vagator Beach, a serene beach flanked by red cliffs.
Start your day at a spice plantation to learn about the spices and herbs used in Indian cuisine and take a guided tour of the plantation. Afterward, head to the Dudhsagar Waterfalls, one of the tallest waterfalls in India, surrounded by lush greenery.
