Tourism in Goa India |
|
|
Arambol Tourism Goa
Parties are occasionally held here, drawing revellers across the river from Anjuna and Vagator, but these are rare intrusions into an otherwise tranquil, out of the way enclave.
If one is happy with basic amenities, the village offers two very fine beaches and a healthy dose of peace and quiet. |

Canacona Tourism Goa
Ceded to the Portuguese by the Raja of Sund in the treaty of 1791, Goa's far south - Canacona district - was among the last parts of the territory to be absorbed into the Novas Conquistas, and has retained a distinctly Hindu feel. |

Mapusa Tourism Goa
If one arrives by road from Mumbai and plan to stay in one of the north Goan resorts, one can jump off the bus here and pick up a local service straight to the coast, rather than continue on to Panjim, 13-km south. |
Margao Tourism Goa
Barely frequented by travellers, this central Goan town has an old-worldly charm about it because of its Old Portuguese churches, and fine country houses decked with dark rosewood furniture. |

Mormugao Tourism Goa
Well, leaving the dramatics aside, Marmagoa was the site that was first chosen to be the capital of the Portuguese Empire.
The town has some industries and not very much else besides the highly dilapidated ruins of a fort, and an ironic history, which classifies it as "the town that never was". |
| |
Panjim Tourism Goa
There are some fine government buildings along the riverside boulevard, and the Passport Office is especially noteworthy.
Unlike many capital cities, Panaji has a distinct unhurried character. |

Pernem Tourism Goa
However, the picturesque, if bumpy, journey north from Arambol to Terekol fort, on the Maharashtrian border, provides ample incentive to spend a day away from the beach. |
Ponda Tourism Goa
Ponda can be described as the Hindu heart of Goa. It is famous for the five important temples that are situated around the town, and also has the largest mosque in Goa. |
