The affluence of this bygone era is still visible in modern day Panjim. Come, visit us and let us show you what lies beneath the surface of this lazy little town..

WHY PANJIM?
Grab our free map and walk through the alleys of Fontainhas and Panjim. Visit the local art galleries or take a sunset cruise. Tourism isn’t mainstream here and you will get a good glimpse into the Goan way of life without being hassled by vendors.
Panjim is located at the centre of Goa and is the perfect place to catch a breather, catch up on all your Skype calls and plan the rest of your trip. The buses to Hampi and Mumbai leave from Panaji and the beaches of North and South Goa are a taxi ride away.
The Goans are pretty passionate about their food especially their fish curry rice staple. Panjim offers numerous fine dining restaurants at a very reasonable price. If you’re feeling lucky you could also venture onto India’s only floating casinos.
