Goa was ruled by Portugal for over 450 years, and it shows in the whitewashed churches, old mansions and food. The churches and convents of Old Goa are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The north has busy beaches such as Calangute, Baga and Anjuna, while the south is quieter, with Palolem and Agonda. Goa has two airports: Dabolim in the south and the newer Manohar International Airport at Mopa in the north.
