15+ places in Goa must-see.
Arriving in Goa, you will, of course, run to the sea. Well, how else? For the sake of long sandy beaches and a warm whispering sea, you rushed here, for three to nine lands .... But Goa is not famous for the sea alone. The atmosphere is what beckons here again and again. Here the soul rests.
Although, of course, there are some people who did not like Goa, but, I think, this is solely because no one was able to present it correctly - it was not possible to meet knowledgeable people, and on excursions there are pioneers like you.
And I also revealed this rule: the better the hotel you choose, the less likely you are to like Goa. This is due to the fact that at first Goa shocks the tourist, and a good hotel only exacerbates the condition. He seems to say: “Look how good I am. Why do you want real life? And the tourist hides in the clean and comfortable interior of the hotel, preferring it to the new and, so far, incomprehensible. From this point of view, tourists who come to middle-class hotels or even guesthouses are considered to be in a winning position. They do not sit in a room or by the pool - they go in search of the unknown and adapt faster, and soon fall in love with the world around them and the local way of life.
So, in order to understand why Goa is so attractive, why people come back here again and again and not only on vacation, but even to live for the season, I recommend a list of must-sees (mandatory to visit) of 15+ places. This is like a guarantee that your vacation will be incredibly amazing and educational, and when the time comes to leave, you will not want to leave here and come up with 1001 reasons to stay. If that's what you want, then here are the places.
- Arambol.
In general, Arambol is already a cult place to see everything once / day is not enough, but, nevertheless, here are the main places:
There are many places to go here:
a) a banyan tree in the jungle where Hindu saints sit - sadhus surrounded As old-timers like to say - under this tree the famous Beatles wrote their song "Yellow Submarine".
b) sweet lake (fresh water lake) - from it to the sea is only a couple of tens of meters! Nice place surrounded by tropical trees. 
c) Sunset Market is a cool event that takes place every evening during the season. From about five in the evening until dark, dozens of foreign sellers of their handmade (handmade products) appear on the beach, as well as the exciting sounds of the drum, guitar, hangpan and the bewitching voices of vocalists, yogis and yoginis, jugglers and fireworkers, practicing their skills with everyone on eyes... 
2. Chapora.
a) Juice center.
It's more of a story than a juice. This small place is more than a dozen years old, there is practically nowhere to park, sit too, but there are no fewer people who want to. Although the juices are good, too. And the prices are pleasant, especially after the beach ones. But here people mainly come to talk, find out the news, smoke ... The contingent here is so variegated and unusual that the juice has been brought for a long time, and you are not up to it;)) 
b) Fort at Chapora/Vagator.
It has a beautiful view of the Vagator beach and the sea. This is a wildly popular place among Indian youth, as the fort has been featured in several films. 
3. Night market in Arpora.
Every Saturday there is a grand event in Arpora. There is even a saying about this market: “If you have lost someone, you will certainly find him here.” Sellers from all over the Earth come here to offer their unique goods. And it’s even more difficult to say about the number of local sellers - tea, spices, saris, bedspreads, Indian jewelry, soap, silver jewelry, leather goods, hammocks, handmade dolls, masks .... But besides the market itself, there is a stage where famous musicians and artists perform for free. You can go to the market completely hungry because there is everything from food here - sushi, pizzas, burgers, salads, grilled chicken, cakes, ice cream. In addition, there are several dance floors.
4. Cafe Curlis on the beach. (Curlie's)
Goa is changing every year, getting upset, urbanizing. But there are institutions that were, are and will be. Curlie's is one of those establishments. A two-story restaurant on the seashore will give not only delicious dishes and a chic view, but also the opportunity to plunge into the hippie era. Trance parties are waiting for you on Tuesdays. 
5. Hilltop Club in Vagator. (hilltop)
Parties here are always a massive event. People, music, surroundings - all this will remain in your memory for a long time.
6. Cafe German Bakery in Anjuna.
A very cozy cafe and a relaxed atmosphere, combined with proper nutrition, make this place the best of its kind.

My favorite fort in Goa. The small fortress has recently been restored. It offers a magnificent view of Panaji and the Mandovi River. 
And also within the walls of the fort is an excellent gallery of the famous artist Mario Miranda.
8. Portuguese area Foenteñaz in Panaji.
The Latin Quarter will take you from an Asian town to colonial Europe in a matter of seconds. Bright large Portuguese houses, narrow streets, flowers in pots on the windowsill, Portuguese names, a chapel, a bridge and a well retain their original appearance to this day.
9. Old Goa.
The former capital of Goa - Old Goa still retains its majestic appearance. Churches, arches, squares are all so striking that you begin to doubt whether I am in India ?! And besides, Old Goa is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 
10. Palolem Beach
The crescent-shaped beach, the million palm trees along the sea and the cliffs will take your heart away. This beach occupies a leading place in the tourism industry of South Goa, so here you can find everything you want: boat trips to remote beaches, snorkeling, dolphins, kayaks, various excursions, guesthouses and restaurants for every taste and budget, Internet cafes, grocery stores, designer clothes and souvenirs.
11. Tito's Line in Baga.
The main street of Baga, leading to the sea, is crammed with clubs and restaurants: Tito's, Mambos's, Capetown, Kamaki, etc. This is one of the most famous streets, famous for its nightlife, and the number of rich Indian tourists rolls over. 
12. Banyan in Mandrem.
The Banyan tree is incredible, unusual, cosmic, mysterious, alien, endless, all-consuming ... in general, you can pick up a lot of epithets, but, as the proverb says, “It is better to see once than hear a hundred times.” Banyans can be seen in many places in Goa, but in Mandrem it is the largest. 
13. Fort Redi.
The abandoned and ruined fort on the seashore to this day attracts the attention of not only ordinary tourists, but also professional photographers, because life and death are combined there .... Grasses and trees full of life curl around hard and cold stones.
