Visiting Goa is a real shock to the senses. While walking through this state’s streets, you may think to yourself: “I am in India, right?” Yes, this state is located in southwestern India, but it is unlike anything you would stereotypically associate with India. Goa retains a uniquely Portuguese identity due to its past as a bustling Portuguese trading city. Visitors to this wealthy Indian state can’t get enough of its romantic beaches and stunning Portuguese cathedrals. In this short article, we will take a glance at what all the fuss is about over Goa. We will also offer a few tips for those of you lucky enough to visit this Indian state. Old Goa A slow stroll through the old Portuguese capital of Old Goa will provide you with many UNESCO World Heritage Sites to appreciate. The stunning architecture of the baroque churches in this area transports anyone to a long faded epoch of European exploration and cultural influence (minus the nasty plague, of course).

It has a wonderfully ornamental entrance and equally ornate interior. Also, inside this basilica you will find the remains of St. Francis Xavier.

When traveling around Malaysia, one should not omit scheduling a visit on the beautiful coastline beach of Port Dickson, not to be confused with the small rural town nearby. The beach area has abundant blue lagoons as well as action packed resort hotels for the tourist’s choice options. Must Have Coastal Transport The most convenient, affordable and fastest means to get to the coastline beach is to go to Port Dickson from Singapore. There are train schedules and bus transportation scheduled for the tourist. When traveling around the beach area itself, it is recommended by the best travel guides that you request your hotel call for your taxi for you, and even then you may have a lengthy wait. International Tourism Haven Port Dickson’s beach area runs several km up the coastline, and provides great photo opportunity as well as luxurious beachfront accommodations in hotels, resorts and restaurants of excellent cuisine. Tourists from the international community enjoy being welcomed by the Port Dickson Malaysia people. The area is in the GMC time zone and its temperatures are usually quite constant. There is no air conditioning in most of the buildings, and you will not miss it due to Port Dickson’s beach area being embraced by constant flowing breezes and fresh sea air. If the tourist wants to see more than the beautiful sands, sea and water, there is a historical Portuguese built lighthouse for photo ops, and a riotous visit to the local Ostrich Farm will not only entertain visitors but educate them as well with the tools and appliances required for ostrich farming.
