3 Nights 4 Days Goa Christmas Special – star lanterns and a lit church at Christmas in Goa

Overview of the 3 Nights 4 Days Goa Christmas Special

Nowhere in India celebrates Christmas quite like Goa. Paper star lanterns hang outside every home, whitewashed churches are strung with lights, cribs appear at street corners and families prepare trays of kuswar – traditional sweets such as neureos, dodol and bebinca. The 3 nights 4 days Goa Christmas special is timed so you are here for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

You visit the great churches of Old Goa, see Panaji lit up for the season and, if you wish, attend Midnight Mass. Days are free for the beach, which is at its best in December. Staying on for the countdown? Combine this with our Goa New Year package, and book early – this is the busiest week of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can visitors attend Midnight Mass in Goa?

Yes, everyone is welcome. Services are held late on 24 December at churches across Goa, often outdoors. Dress modestly and arrive early, as they are very well attended.

Is Christmas a good time to visit Goa?

It is one of the best – pleasant weather, calm seas and a festive mood everywhere. It is also peak season, so hotels cost more and should be booked well in advance.

Can the 3 Nights 4 Days Goa Christmas Special be customised?

Yes. Hotel category, room type, number of days, sightseeing and activities can all be changed. Tell us your dates, group size and budget and we will send a revised plan and quote, free of charge.
