About the experience
Panjim, the capital of Goa is a beautiful spot featuring sprawling Indo-Portuguese commercial architecture that was established when the capital was moved. With quaint winding roads lined with trees, seaside facing casinos and cruise ships that float gently on the water, Panjim stands out from the rest of Goa as the bustling hub of the state. An enchanting section of Panjim consists of elegant Portuguese styled houses that have stood the test of time. This section called Fontainhas is also known as the Latin Quarter of Panjim.
Dating back to the 18th and 19th century, these villas are painted in delightful pastel shades and fluorescent hues. Panjim has seen it all, from the times of tobacco trade to the minting of coins and the final administrative centre of the Portuguese. Discover the making of Panjim with a special focus on the Latin Quarter. Learn how New Goa rose above the ashes of Old Goa. As a bonus, you’ll also visit the prominent bakeries and feast on the local delicacies that hold the flavours of Goa.
Experience the capital of Goa through the eyes of the locals.

FAQs
What footwear should I wear for this trail?
As you will be on foot, we recommend comfortable walking shoes or closed sandals that support your ankle and feet well.
What clothes should I wear for this trail?
Goa is hot and humid so it’s best to wear light cotton clothes if you’re walking around for long periods of time.
Should I carry anything with me?
If it’s necessary for you to carry anything, we recommend packing as light as possible. Carry a water bottle, mosquito repellent, sunscreen and shades as these will come in handy during the walk.
