    The rich cultural blend, the beaches, the fun lifestyle and the touch of spirituality for sure make Goa special. Goa is India's smallest state and a place worth visiting for sure. In this post, I am sharing the details you need to know before planning for a trip to Goa which include the hotels in Goa, where to travel, where to go for shopping and food and booze. They say that the pick season in Goa is from November to February. however, I personally believe this state can be explored at any point in time.

    To Reach Goa:

    Goa is well-connected to all the major cities of India. Below are the connecting points:

    • Airport: Vasco-da-Gama,
    • Railway stations: Madgaon, Vasco,  and Thivim and
    • Bus depots: Panjim and Madgaon.

    Plan your travel well in advance as the flight will cost you more in the pick season.

     

    Best hotels in Goa for couple:

    The first thing I have started searching is nothing but the best hotels in Goa for couple. A friend advised opting for South Goa to stay if I am looking for a quiet stay. The northern part of the city is more congested. The northern part as I was told is having the modern high-rise hotels in Goa while the South is having the quieter ones. While searching I have shortlisted a few hotels based on our need. We are planning to divide our stay in between North and South Goa.

    What I found accommodations are affordable in Goa if it is not the pick-season. However, we are planning for December and hence we need to plan beforehand. Below are lists of hotels in Goa which you can explore based on your need.
