Travelling to Goa during Christmas is the perfect time to get unique experiences in India’s party capital. Sure, it does get crowded around Christmas in Goa, but the experiences one gets are special and definitely worth it.

Goa has ample churches, art galleries and museums such as the Basilica of Bom Jesus, St. Xavier's Church, the Archaeological Museum of old-Goa and so on. Fort Aguada and its lighthouse is a Portuguese fort, dating back to the 17th century located on Sinquerim Beach, Goa. It is also very popular as a tourist spot.

A unique specialty of Goa is its spice plantation tours in Ponda. These are guided tours which acquaint visitors about the variety of spices grown in the region and their uses. Tourists can also buy these fresh spices and herbs during their visit and also enjoy freshly cooked meals.

The Mandovi River cruise is one of the best things to do on a day out in Goa. It is a wonderful way to explore the clear ocean water and green landscapes of the state. The cruise rides are very affordable and last for 1.5 hours. Meals are also offered on board. Tourists can also add scuba-diving and a hot air balloon ride to the itinerary. An e-bike tour is also an exciting means to explore Goa. Goa also has several wildlife sanctuaries like the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary and Mollem National Park where tourists can visit.
