Since Mapusa is a mainly commercial (for locals) city with a large resident population, Mapusa only has a limited number of hotels and accommodations. Its traditional market is also of economic importance.
Sightseeing
Mapusa doesn't have many sights of its own. There are a couple of colonial town buildings on Altinho Hill. There are also several temples and churches. The Church of Our Lady of Miracles was built in 1594 and has since been rebuilt several times.
