Goa's compact, walkable capital on the Mandovi River. The Fontainhas Latin Quarter (India's only surviving Latin Quarter), Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Campal promenade, and the Goa Carnival are the highlights.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon season — heavy rainfall expected. Good for nature lovers, but outdoor travel can be challenging. (peak crowds.)
