Goa Travel Tourism
Picture yourself on a beautiful Beach of Goa with silver sand to swim and surf, white Churches surrounded by green paddy fields and coconut groves, going for a long stroll on a starry night, and somewhere someone is playing a romantic tune on his guitar. That's Goa for you.
The various places to visit in Goa are: Anjuna Beach, Aguda Fort, Calangute Beach, St Cathedral Church of St. Francis, Bom Jesus Basilica, Dudhsagar Waterfalls, Carambolin Lake.
It is a blend of the east and west, with Christmas and Carnival are celebrated as enthusiastically as Diwali and Durga Puja. In its Latin architecture there is also a preference of a fish-meat cuisine. The prevalence of cheap beer blends perfectly well with the traditional tipples of Feni, the local hooch and toddy.
Panaji in Goa still looks and feels like any Portuguese town with grand public buildings and old houses with over-hanging balconies and numerous bars & cafes.
Tourism is the main money-spinner business in Goa. But on the coast, coconut cultivation and fishing are still the main sources of income. Goa Tourism happens all over the year but if you want to enjoy the Carnival better visit in Feb-March.Cities in Goa
Called Panjim by the Portuguese, Panaji, which means "the land that does not flood" is the state capital of Goa. Unlike many capital cities, Panaji has a distinct unhurried character. It is situated on the southern banks of the Mandovi River, which makes this town all the more charming.
The European Ambience Typical of a Goan town, Panaji is built around a church facing a prominent square. The town has some beautiful Portuguese Baroque style buildings and enchanting old villas. The riverside, speckled with brightly whitewashed houses with wrought iron balconies, offers a fine view.
Vasco Da Gama, Goa :
Vasco da Gama, 29-km by road southwest of Panjim, sits on the narrow western tip of the Marmagoa (also known as Mormugao) peninsula, overlooking the mouth of the Zuari River. Acquired by the Portuguese in 1543, this strategically important site was formerly among the busiest ports on India's west coast.
It remains a key shipping centre, with container vessels and iron ore barges clogging the choppy river mouth, but holds nothing of interest for visitors, particularly since the completion of the Konkan Railway, when Goa's main railhead shifted from here to Margao. The only conceivable reason one might want to come to Vasco is to catch a bus to Dabolim airport, of Bogmalo beach, 8-km southeast.
