Goa Tourism


Being small, Goa inherits many Nature wonders which are unheard or unknown to many people. The state of Goa, is famous for its beaches and places of worship, and tourism is its primary industry.
Tourism is generally focused on the coastal areas of Goa.
This relatively small state is situated on the western coast of India, between the borders of Maharashtra and Karnataka 
and is better known to the world as a former Portuguese enclave on Indian soil. Tourism is said to be the backbone of Goa's economy. I will be sharing a lot more in the later posts, so stay tuned for amazing post.                                          
                                                                            

Beaches 


Goa's beaches cover about 125 kilometers of its coastline. These beaches are divided into North and South Goa. North Goa is more commercial with an abundance of mostly low and medium budget tourist accommodations; whereas in South Goa most higher–end hotels and private beaches are located.




                                                             
Museums

Goa State Museum, also known as the State Archaeology Museum, PanajimGoa, India. Established in 1977, it contains departments including Ancient History and Archaeology, Art and Craft, and Geology. The museum, as of 2008, had about 8,000 artifacts on display, including stone sculptures, wooden objects, carvings, bronzes, paintings, manuscripts, rare coins, and anthropological objects.



Forts

Goa Fort's has a rich historical legacy that many don't know about. A living testimony to this historical legacy is the famous forts of Goa. Not only are the popular tourist attractions but they also provide vital historical information to historians and archaeologists. The forts of Goa tel dramatic tales of history to those who visit and even today one can feel the mystical air of the rich historical legacy lingering here.
