There are ancient ruins buried beneath the city, including a Colosseum visible from the subway, no joke.

Hotel: Sun Park Resort
Lounging in a cushioned chair at the beach with a savory and spicy curry dish and a Kingfisher beer. Whoa, do I need to say more? If you don’t like curry, you’ll probably hate it here. But there are plenty of things to love about Goa, like the Basilica of Bom Jesus. If there were a championship match between Roman architecture and baroque architecture, it would be a tie for most beautiful. If you are into the hippie scene, check out Arambol. It’s cheap, you can expect a lot of chilling and hanging around and eating more curry.
