Panaji - It is the capital of Goa. It is a rather small town but one of the most beautiful in India. From the wooded Altinho Hill, the town slopes to the Mandovi River.


Idalcao Palace - Situated in the capital, Sultan Adil Shah of Bijapur built the palace during the 14th century. At present, the palace houses the secretariat. Next to the secretariat is the bronze statue of Abbe Faria, believed to be the father of hypnotism.


Fort Aguada - Situated 10 km north of Panaji, the Aguada Fort has the first lighthouse in Asia. It was built in 1612 to protect Old Goa by controlling the entry to river Mandovi. The fort was equipped with an ammunition room, barracks and a church. It was once a place of Portuguese strength and power. Today it serves as the Central Jail.


Goa State Museum - The museum has several galleries featuring Christian Art, Hindu and Jain sculptures and bronze artefacts, and paintings from all over India.


Santa Monica - Ferrying across the river Mandovi in the ferry Santa Monica is a unique experience. Goa Tourism Development Corporation conducts the cruise.
