Things To Do in Goa

A fusion of Portuguese and Indian cultures influences the food, architecture, and culture of Goa. This relatively small state on India's coast borders the Arabian Sea and provides miles of lovely beaches, lush jungle, and charming villages.

The most popular attractions in Goa are its white-sand beaches. Offering breathtaking ocean views and framed by thick jungle, these beaches draw visitors from around the globe who are seeking a respite from the hectic pace of modern life.

Adjusting to "Goa time" allows visitors to catch their breath and soak in the abundant sunshine and stunning scenery of Indian beach life. There's also the full range of fun watersports for those who have had their fill of sun and sand. Try parasailing, waverunners, or some casual snorkeling and scuba diving for some Goa activities to take full advantage of all the things this prime ocean location has to offer.

There are plenty of Goa tours taking visitors to the many historic temples and churches in the area. Shree Manguesh Shantadurgai Prasanna Temple is located near the village of Mangeshi and is an excellent example of the exquisite skill of Indian craftsmen. As Goa was a Portuguese colony for hundreds of years, there are also many Catholic churches scattered across the map housing fine examples of art. The Bom Jesus Basilica is a World Heritage site and can be a part of any tourist itinerary.

Other must-see sites for lovers of science are the National Aviation Museum and the Goa Science Center. Rare for India, these museums feature interactive exhibits intended to inspire and excite children and adults alike.
