What to do and see in Goa, India: The Best Shopping
The sandy coast of Goa is perfect for reclining by the sea. Nestle into a cushioned chair at a beach shack and savor a curry while you sip a Kingfisher beer, watching the sun slip lazily below the horizon. In Old Goa, the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fine example of baroque architecture. Visit during Christmastime to experience a fantastic religious and cultural mash-up of East and West.

Traveling to GOA in itself is already wonderful, adding a trip to a local jeweler will turn it into an unforgettable experience. Manzoor created a stunning ring for me from topaz together with diamond and saffire. It reminds me of the sun and blue skies of GOA every time!

I highly recommend the Din Brothers for excellent customer service and high quality diamond jewellery. My partner proposed at the Taj Mahal so we visited the shop to look at engagement rings. Zubair and his brother were extremely helpful and made me an engagement ring exactly as described. We were so pleased we ended up purchasing a wedding ring to match! Since we returned home both rings have been valued almost twice what we paid in India. Very pleased indeed.

This is currently easily the best market in Goa. It cuts out the crap stuff & the crowds all the good quality Goa craft stalls have moved from indigos Saturday night market to here. Such a great venue at tree top club with all the great decor, lovely friendly stall holders, bars, live bands & then u go through a arch into the food arena with about 30 local food outlets & a little rave disco going on - this market is also so clean & fresh absolutely loved it throughly recommend a visit - no riff raff or crowds as they charge 100 rupes to enter but well worth it. RIP Saturday night market.

The best part of our trip to Goa last monsoon was our visit to this wonderful museum located in an industrial zone near Saligao.This is a private museum conceptualized by Mr.SUBODH KERKAR,a physician turned Historian. We need to start our visit with a 15 minute video regarding the History of Goa.All the Paintings ,sculptures and photographs depict the history of Goa.....It was surprising to note that Chillies and Maize were brought by Portuguese from South America to India.It was great to see lot of paintings and sculptures regarding Fish,the staple diet of Goan people. It was interesting to note that the concept of Motorcycle Taxis was started in Goa.A Tribute was paid to Mahatma Gandhiji,Father of our Nation.we also get to see a collection of nice oil paintings depicting the occupation of early goans.Goa's Ark stood out among all the sculptures. We were told that Art Exhibitions are conducted here throughout the year.You have a small Coffee shop also.At the end,we can purchase some souvenirs from the Souvenir shop.we bought two fridge magnets( including one Red chilli magnet) and a small book about the Museum. we were pleasantly surprised when we had a chance to meet Dr,SUBODH KERKAR,the brain behind this beautiful museum....on the whole,a must visit destination when you visit Goa.

I just chanced upon this place after our visit to the latin quarters of Goa and I was so elated. I was really drawn to the ceramic tile art outside the Goan houses and i was hell bent on getting something for keepsake. I could not have asked for a better place. There were a myriad of options to select from. They also have a small cafe. Not a toddler friendly place as the tiles are breakable and you would not enjoy looking around , with a kid trying to touch them.
