The Mandovi River waterfront and the Panaji market are a fifteen-minute walk. Old Goa’s Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral are twenty minutes by taxi. Calangute and Baga beaches are forty-five minutes by road. Dona Paula viewpoint and the beaches of Miramar and Cidade de Goa are accessible in twenty minutes.
