Travel to Goa: when, what and where?

Travel to Goa: when, what and where?

Luxurious beaches, mild climate, a huge number of attractions and a high level of tourist service – all this has ensured the resort's enormous popularity and sincere love of travelers. But to get maximum pleasure, you should carefully plan your trip to Goa.

When to go?

It is customary to go on holidays in India in winter or in the off-season. Goa is no exception in this regard. In winter, it is sunny and dry, and the air temperature stays around 30 degrees Celsius, while in summer the rainy season begins. Continuous downpours can ruin all the impression of the trip.

For those who can handle the heat well, we can offer a compromise option – go to Goa in September or April, when the tropical downpours have already ended or have not yet begun. In the off-season it is quite hot, but this is a rare opportunity to enjoy silence and peace in a paradise corner: there are significantly fewer tourists at this time. Moreover, during the transition period, prices for tours to India noticeably decrease, allowing significant savings.

What to see?

Although Goa is a relatively young state, it has a very rich history and a saturated colonial past. As a result, you can see magnificent examples of both local culture and European architectural heritage.

Particularly rich in this regard is the former capital of the state – Old Goa. Here are located the Church of St. Francis, the Basilica of Bom Jesus, as well as the famous Cathedral of St. Catherine, which is the largest Catholic church in Asia. In addition to Christian buildings, Goa is rich in Hindu religious structures, the main of which, undoubtedly, is the Shiva Temple.

Where to sunbathe?

It's no secret that the best souvenir you can bring from a trip is an even, natural tan. And Goa can give it to everyone. For those who like to lie on the sand, we can safely advise going to the south of the state. Here everyone can find a beach to their taste – from commercial beaches with white sand and developed infrastructure to numerous wild spots where not a single soul will bother you. Moreover, it is South Goa that has the most developed infrastructure – here are located the most respectable hotels and entertainment venues that can satisfy the most demanding customers.
