What to see in GOA

Goa is a unique Indian region on the Arabian Sea with a rich history of Portuguese heritage, tropical nature and relaxed atmosphere. European colonial architecture, local traditions and beach culture intertwine here, making Goa an attractive destination for travelers looking for both cultural attractions and natural experiences.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made attractions of Goa include ancient temples, colonial forts and live markets that tell about the history and life of the region. In Panjima, you can climb to Maruti Temple, admire the temple of Brahma Karambolim in Satari, visit the Shri Mangesh temple and Mahadeva temple. The Redi Fort and the Portuguese fortifications at Aguada keep marine legends, while the fishing market and Arpore night market offer gastronomic and cultural discoveries. Modern art objects, such as the sculpture of Shiva’s face on Vagatore, give the landscape a characteristic accent.

Natural attractions and places

The natural pearls of Goa are striking in diversity and accessibility: the Salim Ali bird reserve on Chorao Island, the Bondla and Kotigao reserves with rich fauna, where you can meet olive turtles and exotic birds. The river systems of Mandovi, Baga, Chapora and Sal form picturesque estuaries and mangroves, ideal for boat trips. The coastline is dotted with beaches for every taste - Kolva, Kalangut, Baga, Vagator, Anjuna, Morjim, Ashwem, Kavelossim, Arambol, Putnam and many others, from noisy tourist areas to secluded coves and wild sand spits.
