Iconic landmarks and unique architecture
Goa has a very rich history, and the architecture here perfectly captures this aspect of Goa. With seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Goa is home to some of the most iconic landmarks and buildings that reflect the 400 years of Portuguese occupation through their stunning baroque architectural styles. You can only experience Goa to the fullest if you explore these fascinating sites together with your partner. Basilica of Bom Jesus, ruins of the church of St. Augustine, church of St. Francis De Assisi and convent, St. Catherine’s Chapel, Se Cathedral, church of St. Cajetan, and church of Our Lady of Rosary are some of the most well-known churches that attract a lot of tourists in Goa.
Apart from the churches, Goa is home to many stunning forts and mansions with exemplary architecture. Fort Aguada, Chapora Fort, Burnzam Ghor, Casa Araujo Alvares, and Menezes Braganza House are some of the must-visit landmarks, and a walk through the old Latin quarters will show you the truly unique and diverse architectural heritage of Goa.
The party capital of India
Yes, without a doubt, we can say for sure that Goa is the party capital of India. Goa is home to some of the best bars, clubs, party cruises, beach shacks, and discotheques in India. The boho vibes brought to India during the hippie movement in the 1960s have left deep marks on the Goan culture and the way of life here. You can find the best clubs, cruises, or beach shacks here, immerse yourself in the music and bright neon lights, and dance till the dawn with your partner. During the day, if you are taking a peaceful cycling tour on roads facing the sea with your partner, at night, you lose yourself to the rhythms; the duality of Goa is truly amazing, right?!
Food and adventures
From the special liquor named Feni, made from cashew apples, to the countless scrumptious seafood cuisines, the culinary heritage of Goa is incredibly diverse, and exploring this big list of mouth-watering goodness is one of the best activities a couple can do on Goa together. Fish recheado, bebinca, crab xacuti, Goan fish curry, and feijoada are some of the most authentic Goan dishes you can try in beach restaurants and cafes in Goa.
