How to curate your own Goa experience

DESIGN YOUR HOLIDAY

Planning a trip to Goa? Want a custom-made holiday, but don’t know where to begin? Here’s a quick rundown of experiences to try …

CHURCHES

Check out famous churches such as those in Old Goa, or stop by one in any of Goa’s villages, and admire the diverse architectural styles.

FEASTS & FESTIVALS

Goa is a land where feasts and festivals are celebrated almost all year round. Find out which one is scheduled to take place during your Goa visit.

BEACHES

No visit to Goa is complete without visiting one of the State’s many beautiful beaches.

ADRENALINE RUSH

Travellers who get a high in the great outdoors can opt for outdoor activities such as trekking, water sports and other adventure sports.

INDO-PORTUGUESE HOMES

There are Indo-Portuguese houses galore in the State. If you’re interested in seeing a couple, head for the famous mansions in South Goa. Alternatively, take a leisurely ride through a village or two, and feast your eyes on a variety of houses built in the Indo-Portuguese style.

CUISINE

You can’t leave Goa without savouring the cuisine – from delicately flavoured sweets to fiery main courses. And, remember that Goan curries and sides taste best with local pao and sanna.

UNIQUELY GOAN

Other uniquely Goan experiences to enjoy include local performing arts (tiatr, fado, traditional dances), a ferry ride, boat cruises, yoga and spice plantations, to name a few.
