Goa is shaped by centuries of Portuguese influence, visible in its churches, architecture, and relaxed social culture. It is India’s smallest state but one of its most internationally recognized destinations.

The lifestyle is slower and more cosmopolitan compared to most of India. English is widely spoken, making it easy for international travelers.

While Goa has historical depth, most travelers come for its beaches, nightlife, cafes, and social atmosphere. Peak season crowds and higher prices are common.
