About Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church
The dazzling white church above a criss-cross staircase that appears on every Panaji postcard. A chapel stood here in the sixteenth century; the present church grew around it. Visit in soft morning light and dress modestly.
Good to know
- Why go: Icon of Panaji.
- Best time: Year-round, mornings.
- Good for: church, heritage, family, photography, rainy day.
- North Goa is the livelier half of the coast: cafés, nightlife, markets and water sports.
- Tip: Swim only between the lifeguard flags, never after dark or after a drink, and never in the monsoon sea (June–September).
