Hotels near the railway station and how to get there

Goa has several stations: Madgaon (Margao) is the main one for South Goa, Thivim is the usual choice for North Goa, and Karmali serves Old Goa and Panjim. There are two airports: Dabolim (Goa International) in the south and Manohar International at Mopa in the north. North Goa beaches are far from Madgaon, so check the transfer time before booking.
