  • •Markets: Casual and comfortable clothing is best for walking and browsing.

Getting Around

Local Etiquette

  • •Temples: Remove your footwear before entering and dress modestly. Avoid pointing your feet towards idols.
  • •Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially in rural areas or religious sites.
  • •Bargaining is expected in local markets for clothes, souvenirs, and handicrafts, but not in fixed-price shops or restaurants.
  • •Tipping is not mandatory but is appreciated for good service in restaurants (5-10% of the bill) or for hotel staff and drivers.

Festival Alert: Goa Carnival (February/March), Shigmo (March - Goan Hindu folk festival), Sunburn Festival (December - music festival) - Expect higher crowds and prices.
