Goa as tourists know of is not a city but a collection of towns and cities.
Panaji :
The area around Panjim harbors pretty paddy fields and wooded valleys, which attracts tourists. Old Goa and the temples around Ponda are also as appealing.
The Town:
Church square or the Municipal Gardens.
On the South-East is the sparkling white facade of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. North to the church is the Secretariat which is the oldest surviving building.
At the Southern end is the absolute white colored Chapel of St Sebastian.
Old Goa:
Located about 10 kms east of Panaji, the Old Goa beckons.
Dudhsagar Waterfalls:
When the water levels are at their highest, froth like foam is created at the bottom which is why the Konkani name, Dudhsagar, meaning "sea of milk". This place is accessible only through a jeep or by foot. The view is absolutely exotic and breathtaking.
North Goa:
The North of Goa has a continuous string of beaches.
Mapusa:
The main market town of North Goa is Mapusa. Friday is one of the liveliest days here. This market is known for its authenticity and specializes in Goan sausages, green plantations from Moira and bottles of palm sap.
