Goa, which was formerly known as a Portuguese colony, is known for its colonial-era baroque architecture. The vintage houses, historic forts, and whitewashed churches all bear witness to it.
Goa, which has a 100-kilometer-long coastline, is home to a number of continuous beaches with golden sand that draw numerous visitors all year long. Choose from the backpackers' choice of Arambol or the more daring Baga beach, the laid-back Mandrem or the palm-fringed Palolem, or perhaps take in the beautiful hippy market at Anjuna Beach. These beaches appeal to every tropical desire.
