About Panaji (Panjim)

Panaji, the capital of Goa, is a charming city that lies on the banks of the Mandovi River. It is known for its well-preserved Latin Quarter, Fontainhas, a UNESCO heritage zone with narrow winding streets, colorful Portuguese-style villas, and quaint bakeries. The city has a relaxed, old-world charm, with its beautiful churches, riverside promenade, and floating casinos. A walk through Fontainhas feels like a step back in time, offering a unique cultural experience that contrasts with the state's popular beach image.
