About Macau

Including tips for the best time to visit Macau

Historical temples, Portuguese-style landmarks and glitzy casinos share the skyline of Macau. Sitting along the southern coast of China, the city thrives on tourism, displaying its multicultural heritage and heady nightlife.

The city divides itself into different islands, each of which offer a unique travel experience. The Macau Peninsula is home to the UNESCO-listed historic centre, where you can wander around the Portuguese buildings at Lilau Square and visit the traditional grey-bricked Lou Kau Mansion. You can also light a few incense sticks at the 15th-century A-Ma Temple or spend some quiet time at the neoclassical-style St Lawrence's Church. The island of Taipa houses the sprawling Macau Jockey Club and the Macau Stadium, as well as a good mix of eateries and museums. The reclaimed land of Cotai is famous for the ‘Cotai Strip’, dotted with fancy casinos where you can spin your wheel of fortune. If you’re looking to get away from the teeming streets of the city, take a stroll along the pastel-hued houses and the sandy Cheoc Van Beach on the island of Coloane.

There are plenty of things to do when travelling in Macau. If local history piques your interest, you’ll find some interesting exhibits at the Macau Museum and also the Museum of Taipa and Coloane History. You can enjoy a breathtaking performance at The House of Dancing Water or indulge in a luxury entertainment experience at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf.

Old Macau is a beautiful reminant of the old Portugese Colony. New Macau is bright, loud and vibrant with Casinos. However, beyond visiting historical sites in old Macau and seeing pretty Casinos in new Macau there is nothing much to do. Food is generally overpriced and not necessarily tasting good. If you are not into gambling then you may run out of activities. However, for a short visit I would say it's worth the visit. At most you need 2 days to finish seeing the whole place.

March 5, 2023

Macao is a very interesting mix of cultures and languages. A once Portuguese colony, all that remains from those times is the language in signposts and administrative services and the colonial architecture and Portuguese food amidst Chinese food and habits. There is a huge contrast between the casinos and resorts areas and Macao beaches. All are worth visiting and experiencing.

Aside from gambling and shopping the macau tower and the temple are must sees. There are a few museums most are free or very cheap. Buses are easy to use and a fixed price, taxis are easy to pick up. Ritz Carlton cafe is worth a visit
