What Places To Visit In Goa

Goa is a dreamy honeymoon destination and you are sure to have a blissful experience here. Here are all the best places that you must visit in Goa!

Butterfly Beach

One of Goa's most isolated beaches is the Butterfly Beach. It is located in the southern region of Palolem in the state's Canacona area. It hides in a tiny cove encircled by towering trees and has the shape of a butterfly. Because newlyweds frequently visit this location for a vacation following their wedding, it is also known as the Honeymoon Beach. Be prepared for a stunning view and a fun hike here as there are no means of transportation here. 

Corjuem Fort

Corjuem Fort aka Forte de Corjuem is one of Goa's many breathtaking tourist spots. This fort offers some of the most amazing views in Goa. This fort is a great example of Portuguese military architecture. That means that from this place, your only view is of the river and the surrounding countryside. It is now shaped like a square. This unique establishment in North Goa will not let you down if you have an interest in history.

Divar Island

Divar Island, located about 10 kilometres from Panjim, is a heavenly retreat nestled in dense forests. Unlike Goa's noisy party scene, this location provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Divar Island can only be reached via ferry from Old Goa. It is famous for its natural beauty and serenity. People who love Divar Island refer to it as a "village stuck in time," since the region has remained free of commercialization due to its isolation from city life.

The Basilica of Bom Jesus

Goa's Basilica of Bom Jesus Church is one of India's oldest churches. Its elegant baroque architecture contributes to its allure. The Basilica of Bom Jesus is an important religious and cultural site. The Basilica of Bom Jesus Church has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This church, whose name translates to "Holy Jesus," is the only one in Old Goa that has not had its exterior repainted.

Tito’s Lane

Tito's is one of Goa's best-known nightclubs. It is located in Calangute. Tito Henry de Souza founded the pub in 1971, and it has become a symbol of Goa's thriving nightlife. Locals refer to the entire stretch of Baga that surrounds the bar as Tito Lane. Tito's Club has always been popular due to its great atmosphere and diverse DJ lineup. Tito's Lane is ideal for couples who want to enjoy the buzzing city nightlife.

Cabo De Rama Beach

In Margao, South Goa, there is a lovely, quiet beach called Cabo de Rama Beach. There are tall coconut trees all around this beach. It's the ideal setting for some meaningful time spent with your significant other. Overlooking the beach at Cabo De Rama is a gorgeous Portuguese fort. Come here to enjoy looking at both, the lovely sea and the fort.

Fontainhas Latin Quarter

A residential area in Old Panjim is called Fontainhas which was made by the Portuguese who ruled Goa for more than 400 years. With its colorful home facades, Fontainhas is one of the prettiest places to visit in Goa. The houses and buildings of Fontainhas are well known for their notable Portuguese influence in architecture. Make sure to take your significant other to the opulent cafes, art galleries, historic hotels, and villas in the Fontainhas Latin Quarter.

Calangute Beach

Goa's Calangute beach is termed the "Queen of Beaches" because of its glittering golden sand and unpredictable wave patterns. Couples will find this beach to be a haven, with plenty of gorgeous restaurants, cabanas, clubs, and sun lounges. One of the top ten honeymoon destinations in Goa is Calangute. 

Fort Aguada

Because of its breathtaking location, Fort Aguada is one of the most well-known forts in Goa and a must-see attraction. Built-in 1612, this large fort offers panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. An ancient, four-story Portuguese lighthouse and the complex's jail cells are two of the fort's main draws. It's a great honeymoon destination in Goa because of its amazing architecture and views of the Arabian Sea.

Dudhsagar Waterfall

India's fifth-highest waterfall is Dudhsagar Waterfall.
