Goa Tango Festival

Goa!

Gorgeous Goa

Welcome to gorgeous Goa! Once a Portuguese colony, Goa is a blend of old and new. Known for its endless beaches, stellar nightlife, sensational cuisine, and world-heritage listed architecture, it is no surprise that it is one of India’s top, coastal, holiday destinations. Because of all the exciting and varied things Goa has to offer the discerning traveler, it draws plenty of travel enthusiasts all year round!

Quaint Panjim

Situated on the banks of the Mandovi River, Panjim is the capital of Goa. It is connected to the mainland by bridges. It must be said that a visit to Panjim is truly incomplete without a trip to Fontainhas. This colorful colonial neighborhood is one of the only Latin Quarters in Asia, and also one of the most visited places in Goa. As luck would have it, the festival venue is just a stone’s throw away from here. There are plenty of cafes, and restaurants around, and with its charm of old Portuguese architecture, quaint art galleries, and beautiful churches – this unique part of Goa is steeped in history.
