Day 2: Discover Goa's Rich History

On Day 2, delve into Goa's history with a visit to Fort Aguada, a 17th-century Portuguese fort offering stunning views of the Arabian Sea. Located just a short drive from Candolim, it’s an ideal morning outing. The fort is a great spot for photography, and the lighthouse is a must-see. After exploring the fort, head to Old Goa, the centre of Goa’s colonial history. Visit the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus, which houses the remains of St. Francis Xavier, and the magnificent Se Cathedral, one of the largest churches in Asia. These landmarks provide insight into the region's rich heritage and are perfect for architecture and history enthusiasts.

Day 3: Beach Hopping and shopping

No visit to Goa is complete without discovering its renowned beaches. On Day 3, begin with Baga Beach, famed for its lively nightlife and array of water sports. You can try parasailing, jet-skiing, or even a leisurely banana boat ride. Baga Beach is ideal for those who enjoy a bustling seaside scene filled with music, food stalls, and activities. From Baga, make your way to Calangute Beach, which has a more relaxed vibe but still offers plenty of beach shacks where you can grab a quick snack or a refreshing beer. The shopping here is also vibrant, with local markets selling souvenirs, jewellery, and beachwear. For a more immersive shopping experience in the afternoon, browse the local markets of Candolim and Calangute, where you’ll find unique handicrafts, clothing, and spices to take home.
