Many tourists arrive in Goa every year intending to use it as a gateway to other parts of India. However, this smallest of India’s states is a wonderful destination in and of itself, with many Indian and European tourists drawn to its lovely beaches and warm weather. As a former colony of Portugal rather than Great Britian, the region’s colonial heritage is distinct from the rest of India, though the Eastern influences and energy remain.

With miles of sparkling coastline, Goa is famous for its beaches. Here visitors can soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean waters. More adventurous types will find many opportunities for activities such as scuba diving and parasailing. Goa’s coastal location also guarantees an abundance of fresh seafood and the delectable Indian dishes that incorporate it.

Some of the cities in Goa are increasingly modern. In addition to traditional markets and restaurants, you can find modern restaurants, clubs, and five star hotels in Goa. However, most of Goa is comprised of smaller, traditional villages that provide a friendly and relaxing environment for those wishing to explore Indian culture.

Museum lovers will want to check ou thte Goa State Museum, the Naval Aviation Museum, or the architectural museum which is called the Houses of Goa.
