What’s trending in Goa
The places travellers are discovering right now — verified, unsponsored, and picked by people who live here.
POPULARReis Magos Fort
A restored 16th-century Portuguese fort with panoramic views across the Mandovi — quiet, historic, and even more striking under monsoon skies.
HIDDEN GEMSt. Augustine Tower
They call it the Church of St. Augustine, though what's left is really just a ruin and a tower — the church itself was completed back in 1602, and it's part of the same UNESCO listing as the rest of Old Goa's churches and convents. You wouldn't guess how grand it once was, standing here now. Just walls, stone, and this one tower still holding on.
POPULARBappa Is Coming
Every September, Goa looks beyond the coast and back toward its own front rooms. Families come home, spare rooms are opened, beds run out, and kitchens stay busy late into the night. For a few days, a house is completely full. This is that Goa — the one nobody thinks to photograph.
POPULARCotigao
Goa's southernmost protected forest — 85.65 km² of dense deciduous woodland, home to black leopards, sloth bears, and rare birdlife along the Talpona River.
