How safe is Goa?
North Goa: Some parts are safer than the others; avoid Baga / Calangute areas alone at night. Stay in Parra/Siolim/Vagator. Great if you know how to ride a scooter. Perfect in small groups. Beaches from the Morjim - Mandrem stretch are the best in the North.
Posted: January 16, 2025Goa is pretty safe.Its a tourist attraction and very famous across India ang goa. The locals are safe and welcoming. Well cultured people. The road and public transport is pretty safe. I would suggest getting your own rented bike/car as the frequency is not that much. The infrastructure is pretty good.
Posted: December 31, 2024Goa, if you visit the right places is beautiful! One just needs to be alert as they should in all countries! Come during the shoulder season June to October for the best experience. Goa does get a lot of rowdy Indian tourist who aren’t the nicest people and the locals do not like them either.
