"Slung along the banks of the wide Mandovi River, Panaji (also still widely known by its former Portuguese name Panjim), Goaโs small and spritely state capital since 1843, boasts its own laid-back brand of originality. Purpose-built neat and tidy by its former Portuguese colonisers, the cityโs inhabitants have adapted its European-flavoured legacy to suit their affluent and easygoing needs."
