North Goa houses most popular and crowded beaches like Baga, Calungute etc. and numerous pubs & restaurants and thereby becomes first choice for the tourists. On the other hand, South (Old) Goa contains several famous and heritage churches including Basilica of Bom Jesus which contains the relics of Saint Francis Xavier, Se Cathedral, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, etc. These churches are generally noiseless. We stayed at North Goa and hired a vehicle for a day trip to South Goa that included visit of Old Goa churches, Panjim city and its beaches etc. Old Goa is a lovely city with rich history and heritage. It was worth taking a break from crowded beachside to witness rich history and heritage of Old Goa.

In the company of a Christian Indian guide, we toured the Jesuit 16th Century Basilica of the Bom Jesus (the Infant Jesus), which contained the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier housed in a silver casket, and the Dominican Cathedral of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Both featured soaring ceilings and elaborate altarpieces and side altars, carved in sandalwood and then gilded. The statues of the saints looked similar to the familiar santos of New Mexico. Both churches require modest dress, which means both men and women need to cover their knees and shoulders.

You should definitely visit this wax museum if you are in Goa. Located in Old Goa this museum housed some of the finest works of wax creating statues of prominent personalities The statues range from a huge variety such as from Freedom Fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi to Swami Vivekanand to great scientists such as Albert Einstein. They also have created a statue of Lord Krishna and Radha as well as statues of social importance such as one depicting the effects of tobacco use and smoking on the human body as it causes cancer as well as the social issue of corruption and taking bribe under the table. The best part is that when we visited this museum they also provided us with a guide who gave us complete information regarding the museum, the various statues and how they were created as well as the specialties of few statues such as that of Lord Krishna. This museum is great to visit be it with family or large groups as it depicts the lives of important personalities. Apart from that, the ticket is cheap and so will definitely be manageable even if you visit here in large groups.
