Let's take a look at some of the best tourist spots of Goa and understand why Goa must be on your bucket list:

You have to visit this place to feel the tranquillity and placidity in its purest form. You can also find many shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, and massage parlours.

Fort Aguada: Built in the 17th century by the Portuguese, the fort gives a fascinating view of Arabian Sea, Mandovi River, and the city of Panaji. There is a 13-metre high lighthouse, which was constructed in 1864. The fort was constructed as a defence against the Dutch and Marathas. You will find very less crowd here, hence, a perfect location for some personal time.

Boasting a height of 1017 ft., the waterfall can be seen from a train journey towards or from Margao. You can also trek to the base of the waterfall and witness this alluring scenery.
