About Cidade De Goa Resort
Cidade de Goa is located on Vainguinim Beach between a green hill and the deep blue sea - the sort of setting that can turn even the most ordinary person romantic. The resort built on 40 acres of lush greenery, was created to resemble a self-contained Portuguese hill hamlet (the resort's unique architectural grandeur, earned an international R.I.B.A. award). As you step in to the Lobby, you are greeted with a spectacular view of the Arabian Sea unmatched in Goa. The bright murals and the statues of Vasco da Gama in his three facets as an Adventurer, Statesman and Philosopher, along with the fountains further enrich the character & the ambience.

Travel Information
In the local dialect, Goa is often referred to as 'Goa Dourada', (meaning 'Golden Goa') because of its beautiful beaches, forts, churches, waterfalls, seminaries, and caves.
The major beaches in Goa are Anjuna, Claangute, Colva and Benaulim, Dona Paula, Vagator and Chapora, Cavelosim, and many more. Some of the other tourist attractions in Goa include Dudhsagar waterfall and Arvalem waterfall, the rock-cut caves of Khandepar and Arvalem, the Pilar monastery, Saligao seminary, and Rachol seminary. Apart from beaches and other attractions, Goa is also famous for its churches and temples. Some of the leading churches in Goa include, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, the Se Cathedral, Basilica of Bom Jesus, Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Church of St Cajetan, Church of St. Augustine, and others. Fort Aguada is worth a visit to savor the nostalgia of the Portuguese regime, especially in its lighthouse and the Aguada jail. The Terekhol Fort near the Arambol beach has been now converted into a hotel. The Museum of Christian Art at the Rachol Seminary and church and the Braganza House near Margao are also worth a visit. Besides these, to get a glimpse of the Hindu population in Goa, one has to visit Ponda. The Kerkar Art Complex in south Calangute is also an important tourist center.
