Goa's Unmissable Treasures

Goa’s landscape features a collection of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Old Goa, including the 16th-century Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral. The region's colonial history is preserved in the 17th-century Fort Aguada and the vibrant Latin Quarter of Fontainhas. Natural landmarks include the four-tiered Dudhsagar Falls and the expansive Mollem National Park. Coastal highlights range from the bustling Calangute Beach to the quieter shores of Agonda and Palolem, while traditional commerce continues at the Mapusa Municipal Market and Anjuna Flea Market.
