An immersive walk around the charming Old Latin Quarter in Panjim. Soak in the rich heritage of a neighborhood described by historian William Dalrymple as a ‘small chunk of Portugal washed up on the shores of the Indian Ocean’, and interact with locals who strive to keep centuries of culture alive to this day.


Highlights:

  • Discover the untold history of the city of Panjim at Tobacco Square, and hear intriguing tales of the neighbourhood’s former colonial Portuguese residents.
  • Be transported to a bygone era as we explore painstakingly preserved heritage buildings that have survived the onslaught of development in the 21st century – including the Chapel of Sao Tome and the Panjim Inn. The quaint streets are lined with traditional Portuguese style homes in a palette of striking bright colours, making this every photographer’s paradise.
  • Visit Panjim’s oldest bakery and have a taste of their traditional Goan treats with a refreshing beverage (subject to the bakery’s operational timings).
  • Meet with a renowned local Goan musician and enjoy a live performance of his distinctive blend of Konkani and Latin styles.  
  • Support the local economy with a visit to a store of handcrafted local products, and take a piece of Goa home with you.

What's included

  • Walk led by a knowledgeable local storyteller.
  • Tasting of traditional Goan sweets & a refreshing beverage.
  • Visit Indo-Portuguese heritage structures and establishments.
  • Meeting with a renowned Goan Musician.

What's not

  • This is a walking trail, and we do not use vehicles inside the Latin Quarter.
  • Hotel pickups and drops.
  • Meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner)
  • Sightseeing points that fall outside of the curated route.
  • We do not provide umbrellas, raincoats, hats/caps, face-masks or sanitizers.
