Goa at a glance
Goa is an Indian state on the Arabian Sea coast. It was ruled by Portugal for about 451 years until 1961, which left Baroque churches, an old Latin Quarter in Panaji and a cuisine built on fish and rice. Visitors come for the beaches, the old churches and the dry-season nightlife.
Known for
Basilica of Bom Jesus, Old Goa Borea Jezuchi Bajilika
Baroque church in the former Portuguese capital, consecrated in 1605, that holds the body of St Francis Xavier.
Fontainhas, Panaji
Panaji's old Latin Quarter of Portuguese-era houses, near the Baroque Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception on the main square.
Calangute Beach
The largest beach in North Goa, in Bardez, and one of the state's busiest seaside resorts.
Anjuna flea market
Wednesday day market near Anjuna Beach, a 1960s hippie-trail stop, selling clothes, jewelry and fruit; the Saturday night market is in nearby Arpora.
Goan fish curry and rice humann
The everyday staple: humann, a fish curry also called kadi or ambot, served with steamed rice.
Getting there
Goa has two airports. Manohar International Airport at Mopa, in Pernem in the far north, is about 40 km from Panaji; Kadamba (KTC) buses link it with Panaji, Mapusa and Margao. Dabolim Airport, near Vasco da Gama in the south, is about 30 km from Panaji and has prepaid taxis. Public buses to Vasco stop at Chicalim, about 1.5 km from the terminal.
Getting around
Kadamba Transport Corporation and private buses run from the central bus stand at Patto in Panaji to towns across the state. The Konkan Railway serves Margao, Pernem and other Goan towns.
When to go
October to April is the tourist season, with winter the peak for foreign visitors. The southwest monsoon runs from June to September and brings over 90% of the year's rain; summer visitors are mostly from elsewhere in India.
Local tip
Go to the Anjuna flea market on a Wednesday. For the Saturday night market, head to nearby Arpora instead.
