Goa Places
to See
Vasco-da-Gama
Air: Goa's only airport, called the Goa Airport lies on top of a rocky
plateau at Dabolim, approximately 4 km southeast of Vasco-da-Gama. The Airport
is under the control of the Indian Navy, but a large new civilian terminal handles
all of Goa's rapidly increasing air traffic from national and international
flights.
There are pre-paid taxi counters inside the airport and private taxis are also
available. It is best to confirm a fare with the driver before you start off
on your journey. Local buses are also available from the intersection immediately
outside the airport to go to Vasco, from where there are services to Margao
and Panaji.
Rail: The small railway station is located at the centre, a few minutes
walk from either end of the well laid out town. A number of trains that service
destinations in neighbouring states like Karnataka, depart from here.
Road: Most buses arriving from Panaji or Margao, stop at the Interstate
Kadamba Bus Terminus, 3 km east of the town centre. There are local minibuses
which carry passengers from the main bus stand to the city area. There is another
bus stand near the market area.
Auto-rickshaws and motorcycle taxis are also available at the junction of the
main thoroughfare, the Swantantra Path and Dr Rajendra Prasad Avenue.
