The Rough Guide to Goa (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

The Rough Guide to Goa is the most thoroughly researched and engagingly-written guide to Portugal’s former colony. You’ll find detailed accounts of every major tourist sight, along with candid reviews of all the best places to sleep, eat, drink and shop, in all price ranges. The title includes first-hand coverage of the regions resorts, beaches, markets, monuments, temples and wildlife sanctuaries, as well as its more off-beat sights, from prehistoric rock carvings deep in the forest to colonial-era mansions. The full-colour introduction and inserts, along with inspirational photography, give you a flavour of this region’s Portuguese legacy. The guide includes all the practical advice you’ll need before you arrive, and comes complete with expert coverage of the regions history, religion, environmental issues, wildlife, and language.
