Who doesn’t want to visit the paradise of beaches? Goa, without a doubt, has the best beaches and attractions that pull in both foreign and national tourists like magnets. This place also has a strange blend of Western and traditional culture. There is both hard-core partying and divine serenity running through the veins of this city. You will find it crowded and bustling with life all throughout the year. If you are planning a trip to Goa, then these are some must-visit tourist places that you cannot afford to miss.

1. Baga Beach



No Goa trip is complete without taking a soaking salt bath in the powerful waves and serene shores of the Baga beach. It is also a central hub for many beach parties and is one of the best places to enjoy Goa’s nightlife. The food here is amazing and the crowd is always energetic. For dancers, music lovers, and hard-core party people, this place is heaven.

2. Dudhsagar Falls



Dudhsagar roughly translates to ‘sea of milk’. And the name is so apt because visually, this 4-tiered waterfall looks like overflowing milk when it is fully fed by the monsoon. Though it is not possible to get a very close view of these falls, tourists can enjoy a pretty decent view from afar.

3. Casino Carnival


This is one of Goa’s famous casinos. It is located in two places, in Goa Marriott, Miramar beach, and on a boat in Mandovi River. This is a 24X7 casino that has activities that can cater to all age groups. Whether you are there to play or just to enjoy other performances, you will definitely have a great time.

4. Basilica of Bom Jesus


Churches and other religious sites in Goa are often filled with rich legacy and culture. The Basilica of Bom Jesus is one such structure, which remains a standing testament to the rich Portuguese architecture. This monument transcends the tag of a mere religious site and holds so much historical significance and beauty. It has the preserved remains of St. Francis Xavier. It has won the reverence of people and has been named a World Heritage site.

5. Butterfly Beach


It is extremely difficult to make a tourist spot list of Goa by adding only one or two beaches. There are a multitude of beaches that deserve to be on this list but we are adding only a few unique ones. Butterfly Beach is not as popular as Baga. In fact, it is overseen by many tourists. But what makes the beach worth your time? It is calm, tranquil and exudes good vibes. And as the name implies, it is the home to several butterfly species. Best Hotel Goa

7. Fort Aguada


If you are looking for a trip down historic memory lane, then Fort Aguada must definitely be on the list. This 17-century fort is located near Sinquerim Beach, North Goa. This fort once stood as a strategic point of advantage against the Dutch and the Marathas. It boasts within its high walls, a jail, a 13-meter high lighthouse, and a cistern with a capacity of 10 million liters.
