Luxury travel will, of course, significantly increase this figure.
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.

The best time to visit Goa is during the winter months (October to March) when the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring beaches and other attractions. The monsoon season (June to September) brings heavy rainfall, though it also offers a unique charm to the landscape.
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.

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.
What traditional local food should you try in Goa, India?
Goan cuisine is a delightful blend of flavors. Try the fiery vindaloo, the rich prawn curry, and the flavorful fish thali. Bebinca, a layered coconut cake, is a must-try dessert. For a taste of local life, explore the numerous smaller restaurants and eateries that serve authentic Goan food.
