About Goa

Most people see one Goa: a stretch of beach and a shack. The rest of it is a Portuguese-era capital at Old Goa, Latin quarters in Fontainhas and Margao, spice farms and waterfalls inland, and a south coast that still empties out by nine in the evening. Done properly, a Goa trip has a beach in it, but is not only that.

Best time to visit
Best from October
November to February for dry, mild weather and the peak season, October and March for quieter beaches, and June to September for a green, rainy and very cheap Goa.
How to reach
Goa has two airports, Dabolim and Mopa, with flights from across India. Madgaon and Thivim are the main railway stations on the Konkan line.
