We will be looking for places to visit as well as days on the beach, we like good food etc...we dont want to have to get a taxi everywhere so walking distance would be good and the same time we dont want to be to close to the sound of bars late at night...alot to ask i know!!! Any suggestions? Oh and North or South??!!!

Despite being an exclusive beach destination adorned with swaying palms and heritage buildings, there are some modern attractions that allure every tourist. Take a break from the throb of Goa's ever crowded metros and the overcooked beaches to enjoy a welcome change at the mock-village of Ancestral Goa. Being the first of its kind, Goa's most unique sightseeing spot offers a detailed pictorial rendition of the state's rural culture under a single roof. Goa is a land of fun and there are many ways to do so. Colours yourself in the moods of gambling and who knows you can win quite a few bucks overnight at the multiple casinos that bedeck the terrain. Behold an altogether different Goa in its wild side at Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. Boot on the manicured gardens and give way to alluring butterflies and tiny tree frog, should they cross your path. Enter deep and you might see a magnificent gaur turn your way or a sloth bear drawing its path into the bush. Admire the sambhar and spotted deer delicately nibble at the vegetation before you move on to see the majestic elephants.
