What is the best time to visit Goa, India?
The best time to visit Goa is during the winter months (October to March) when the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring. The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rainfall, while the summer months (April to May) can be very hot and humid.
No doubt Goa is all about a beach holiday and scenery. We recommend you also take a stroll around Old Goa city and check out the must-see Aguada Fort. Take a day to bike around the scenic route such as Vagator-Chopara. At night Mambo-Titos area is a popular place to visit or take a night walk around the Baga beach. Do not forget to enjoy the ‘River Cruise’ on the Mandavi River. For a breath-taking view, seeing Dudhsagar falls through the Devil’s Canyon is a must.

Goa hosts many vibrant festivals. Shigmo, a spring festival with colourful parades and folk dances, is a significant event. The Feast of St Francis Xavier in Old Goa is a major religious celebration. Christmas and New Year are also celebrated with great enthusiasm, given Goa's history.
Our top picks of Goa beaches according to popularity are Baga Beach, Morjim Beach, Calangute Beach, Palolem Beach, Majorda Beach, and Sinquerim Beach. Baga beach is known for a romantic night walk in Goa and Agoda beach is a hub of all sea-related activities in Goa.
What traditional local food should you try in Goa, India?
Goan cuisine is a delightful blend of flavours. Try fish curry rice, a staple dish; vindaloo, a spicy pork curry; and Bebinca, a layered coconut cake. Seafood is abundant and delicious, especially fresh prawns and crabs. Don't forget the local feni, a potent cashew or coconut spirit.
If you are a shopaholic or just interested in some shopping without having to miss out on the beach time, you have two options. The first is you can book at one of the hotels located close to the center where most of the flea markets take place on different days of the week. If you prefer to choose a hotel located off-site, we recommend choosing a hotel in the South of Goa from where you can take a taxi or train to the city center, shop your heart out and get back for lunchtime.
Are there any unknown or hidden places that should be on your list in Goa, India?
Beyond the popular beaches, explore the Chapora Fort for stunning sunset views and a less crowded experience compared to Aguada Fort. The Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary offers opportunities for wildlife spotting. The smaller beaches like Patnem and Agonda provide a tranquil escape from the more crowded areas.
