Panjim holidays appeal to those who like city living but still enjoy a fairly relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Built in Portuguese style, Panjim, the capital of Goa is situated on the southern banks of the River Mandovi.
The town has some beautiful Portuguese Baroque style buildings and brightly whitewashed houses with wrought iron balconies set amidst a sprinkling of banana trees. The old residential area with its cobbled streets, red roofs and overhanging balconies has a real Mediterranean feel.
The Church of the Immaculate Conception is easily one of the most elegant and picturesque monuments in Goa.
This is a unique city where east meets west and somehow where two magnificent cultures walk hand in hand in perfect harmony.
