Old Goa with Kids — Family Travel Guide
Goa, India · 15m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 4–14 to explore 500 years of history through the Basilica of Bom Jesus and Se Cathedral's golden altars. The main risk is intense heat at sea level—carry water constantly. Stroller access works, but plan short visits between churches since there are no play areas to break up the day.
