For the best sunset views in the area, head to this beautiful old fort at Vagator Beach.
Reviewed By Khushbu M
If ur a Dil Chahta Hai fan, this fort is a must visit!!! U have to sit on d walls n click pics and relive those amazing moments from d movie that made Goa cool for us. Since we were staying in Vagator,this fort was a ten minute journey for us. It's crowded,but it's so huge that ull find a wall for yourself . Parking is 20bucks for 2wheeler. D climb from parking to d fort is very steep and slippery. I slipped at least twice. Pls wear comfortable shoes. The sunset view from d top is amazing!!! U can just find a spot for urself n sit there for hours gazing at d waves and d melting sky. If ur thirsty, u get lime soda right inside d fort.

THE SATURDAY NIGHT MARKET - The World's Local Market. The Saturday Night Market is Goa's retro styled hippy and artisan night market that features a wide variety of colors and scenes and is truly a kaleidoscope of stalls having cultural influences from all across the globe, which is, in reality its uniqueness. Why miss it?
Reviewed By PrabhaJain - Mumbai, India
Come Saturday evening, and it seems the whole of Goa has come to visit the flea market. I was impressed with the way the organizers manage the traffic and thousands of cars for parking. The market has so many stalls, more than 1000, I think. However, it’s only called a flea market, the prices of some of the apparels and stuff are higher than some of the international brands. But it’s not just the apparels u get there, the market has lot of other stuff to shops from, spices, teas, jewellery, bags, crockery, home decor, etc etc. It has lot of food stalls and bars as well of different cuisine and live band Performances too! Makes for a very colourful evening/ night!
