Itinerary
Arrival, Settling In & Latin Quarter (Fontainhas) Walk
Morning/Afternoon: Arrive at Goa (Dabolim Airport/Madgaon station) and transfer to your hotel in Panjim. Check-in and relax.
Late Afternoon: Begin the cultural part of your Goa Pilgrimage tour package with a guided walk through Fontainhas (Latin Quarter) — the heart of Panjim's Portuguese heritage. Explore narrow lanes lined with color-washed houses, boutique cafés, and photogenic facades. Your guide will highlight Goan-Portuguese history, architecture, and local anecdotes.
Evening: Walk along the Panjim Promenade and head to Miramar Beach for the sunset.
Tip: Carry comfortable walking shoes and a light bottle of water. Fontainhas streets are best explored at a leisurely pace.
Old Goa Churches & Pilgrimage Circuit
Full Day Excursion: After breakfast, drive to Old Goa — the historic ecclesiastical capital and a central site for any Goa pilgrimage package. Visit the region's most significant churches and pilgrimage spots with a knowledgeable guide:
- Basilica of Bom Jesus (housing the relics of St. Francis Xavier) — UNESCO-era landmark and an essential stop on a Goa Pilgrimage tour package.
- Se Cathedral — one of the largest churches in Asia, renowned for its golden bell.
- Church of St. Francis of Assisi — famed for its ornate architecture and frescoes.
- Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (on the way back to Panjim) — iconic hilltop church with panoramic views.
Enjoy time for personal reflection, photography, and short prayers if you wish. Lunch at a local restaurant with Goan specialties is included.
Note: Church interiors may have restricted hours for Mass or private events. Your guide will adjust the sequence accordingly.
Cultural Immersion: River Cruise or Spice Plantation & Local Markets
Morning: Choose between an optional Mandovi River Cruise (scenic, 1–1.5 hours) or a guided visit to a Goan spice plantation with a traditional lunch showcasing local flavors.
Afternoon: Return to Panjim for a relaxed afternoon visiting the State Museum (if open) or exploring Panjim's local markets for Goan handicrafts, cashew products, and spices — perfect for souvenirs.
Evening: Attend a short cultural performance (subject to availability) or enjoy an independent stroll through the Latin Quarter to soak the ambiance.
Tip: If you prefer quieter mornings, schedule the spice plantation visit early to avoid midday heat.
Checkout, Last-minute Sightseeing & Departure
