Goa Beaches And Holiday Packages: Top 10 Attractions Of Goa

Goas fame and popularity have been in the making for a number of decades

. The Goa beaches have witnessed the Portuguese, the hippies, the bikini-clad girls and the modern day adventure junkies. With holiday packages, you can set your eyes on some of the best attractions which the state has to offer. Though there are oodles of attractions in Goa, we have limited ourselves to just ten. Take a look:

i.Old Goa: Old Goa is the dream destination for anyone who has a penchant for heritage sites and historical treasures. Basilica of Bom Jesus, a 500-year old church, is the biggest attraction. The Church of St. Francis of Assisi is another unique attraction. And then there are dozens of other forts, cemeteries and dilapidated structures.

ii.Se Cathedral: Though Goa boasts of many elegant churches including the above-mentioned Basilica of Bom Jesus, it is Se Cathedral which will pull at your heart strings with its semi-Gothic architecture and internal finesse.

iii.Flea Market: Every Wednesday, Anjuna beach organizes a flea market which gives the shopaholics a thrilling time at the beach. Anjuna Flea Market is an experience in itself and a visit to this market is included in most vacation packages.

iv.Wildlife sanctuaries: Goa has quite a few wildlife sanctuaries. The Madei Wildlife Sanctuary, the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary and the Salim Ali Bird Park are 3 places you must not miss out on.

v.Goa State Museum: Take a weekday off to visit the Goa State Museum (one of the gems of Panaji)! This is one place which beautifully mirrors the states historical and social past.

vi.Aguada Fort: After you alight from your flights from Delhi to Goa, you will find yourself in the midst of a number of forts. Goa revels in forts and there are scores of them scattered throughout. But none is as awe-inspiring as the old & ageing Aguada Fort standing by the Arabian Sea at Sinquerim beach.

vii.Mayem Lake: If the Goa beaches are ideal party zones, the quiet Mayem Lake is the most serene spot for having a family picnic. It is not very exotic or snobbish but extremely tranquil, breezy and romantic. It is an ideal place for a couple to share a couple of hours together.

viii.Spice plantation: Goas Spice Plantation region is another heady tourist attraction. Just like the tea gardens of Darjeeling, herein too one can take a look at the cultural, industrial and traditional flavors of the local life.

ix.Caves of Lamgau: Lamgau Caves are meant only for those who love to trek and have a wild side within them. These caves are not easily accessible but their beautiful carvings and all-encompassing serenity will make you say wow.

x.Panjim Bridge: Goa vacation packages also bring you the simple pleasures of life. The panoramic view from the Panjim Bridge is a hair-raising experience. The river flows beneath in all its serenity, and ferry-services are also available.
