Itinerary

Day1

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.

Day2

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.

Day3

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.

Day4

Checkout, Last-minute Sightseeing & Departure

Morning: After breakfast, check-out from the hotel. Depending on your departure time, enjoy a short guided visit to Dona Paula viewpoint or quick shopping in Panjim for traditional sweets and souvenirs.

Transfer: Private transfer to Dabolim Airport or Madgaon Railway Station for onward journey.
