A-Ma Temple, Macau's oldest temple built in 1488, is a significant symbol of the city's rich history and tradition. Dedicated to the sea goddess Matsu, it holds a history of over 500 years and is believed to have influenced the name 'Macau.' As the oldest Taoist temple in Macau, A-Ma Temple is revered for blessing seafarers and fishermen.
This is a beautiful, well-preserved place where you can appreciate the richness of Eastern culture and Buddhism. The entrance is free and you can travel in its immensity, inside you can buy the incense and plates to ask for you and your family. The view from the temple is mind-blowing.

A-Ma Temple – A Spiritual Stop with a Memorable Prayer Experience Our visit to A-Ma Temple in Macau was not just a sightseeing stop, but a meaningful spiritual experience. The temple is one of the oldest and most famous in Macau, rich in history and culture. What made our visit truly memorable was the moment we offered a giant incense stick — so large that it took three people to carry it. We lit it and prayed sincerely for the success and prosperity of our business. It felt powerful, respectful, and deeply symbolic. The atmosphere of the temple is peaceful and sacred, filled with the scent of incense. Whether you are religious or simply curious, A-Ma Temple offers a calm and beautiful setting to reflect and connect. Highly recommended if you are visiting Macau and want to experience something spiritual and culturally meaningful.

A beautiful temple with nice positive vibes. It is accessible by public transport. The temple has steps to climb. So little difficult for people with disabilities. The vibes in the temple was peaceful. The idols were beautiful.
Bela M — Google review
A hidden jewel in Macau, stories had it that for 5 centuries, the A-Ma Temple in other parts of the world this diety is known as Ma Choa a toist diety had clung to the rocky slope of Macau where the shrine stands. A fragrant scent of incense and smells of ancient stone filles the air. Before venturing to the neon decor and the blistering sights of casinos, there was this: the salty breath of the South China Sea mingling with sandalwood smoke, a sanctuary built by grateful fishermen for the protector the honour as the goddess of the sea. Sunlight, filtered through banyan trees, dapples the granite flagstones. Worn steps lead past ornate pavilions with upturned roofs, their ceramic figures frozen in silent drama. The air is thick with devotion; the soft chime of a bell, the rustle of prayer slips tied with red string, the murmur of a name repeated—A-Ma, A-Ma. Here, hope is a tangible thing. It rises in coiled incense spirals towards the carved granite cliffs. It rests in the cupped hands of an old woman, her prayers as steady as the tides. This is not just a monument, but a living heart. It is the soul of Macau itself—resilient, enduring, and forever watching over the water, a serene guardian amid the modern city's roar. For centuries estimated over 600 years of history this tiny little hut has endured through time. Ma Chor as the protector of ancient fishermen did a splendid job to be honoured and respected till today. The tradition has not settled eventhough Macau has since development into a modern day city with skyscraper filling every corney of the island. I am sure you will not be disappointed having fulfilled your devotion expected from a faithful taoist.

Nice holy place to visit on your macau city tour. Great divine vibes. A UNESCO World Heritage site that is dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess A-Ma (aka Mazu). On some of the rocks are poems and writings. There you will find several worshippers. You will find a nice view from the top. There is no entry fee.

Senado Square is a bustling town square in Macau, surrounded by shops and restaurants. It serves as a venue for public events and is a popular starting point for exploring the city's tourist attractions. The area features Portuguese-style buildings, churches, and cathedrals such as Saint Dominic's Church and the Igreja da Se Cathedral. Nearby, visitors can find the famous Ruins of St. Paul's.
Very nice area in Macao. Pretty flowers, tiles and fountains. European street vibes all around. Must visit! A major street part for shopping, food and much more. Tourists all around you will find.

Senado Square is a great place to explore local food, tourist attractions, and do some shopping. As a legacy of Portuguese colonial times, the square is surrounded by beautiful architecture and many UNESCO World Heritage sites, all within walking distance. A must-visit when in Macau!

Europe vibes-like in the middle of Macao. The vibe is very Europe-like with buildings are so colorful and beautiful tiles in the floor too. The location is Not to far from Ruins of St Paul. It's very crowded place too. If you want to enjoy this place a little bit quiet, come in earlier in the morning. There are many shops and restaurant too.

I absolutely loved this place! Walking through Senado Square feels like traveling back in time and to another part of the world entirely. The beautiful Portuguese-style architecture, cobblestone streets, and colorful buildings make it feel nothing like the rest of Asia. It’s lively, full of charm, and surrounded by great shops, cafés, and historical sites. A true must-visit spot in Macau that perfectly captures the city’s unique blend of cultures and history.

2025 August 3★ It's a square with a fountain in the center.. It's ok. Especially when the fountain isn't working. Certainly looks pleasing though. Sometimes there's pop up shops.. like the labubu when I went. Otherwise, the square is so so. Though if you're here, it's still worth checking out.

The Ruins of Saint Paul's is a captivating historical site in Macau, renowned for its stunning facade that remains from a 17th-century church. Originally part of a larger religious complex, this UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases the intricate artistry of its southern stone facade, which beautifully blends European Renaissance and Asian architectural styles. Once home to St. Paul's College and the Church dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle, it was tragically destroyed by fire in 1835.
This is an iconic photo of the Macau. The place is magnificent whenever you decide to visit l, during the evening or during the day. Take a break and enjoy the view while sitting on the stairs.
Eldar — Google review
I visited the Ruins of St. Paul’s on a Wednesday morning, and even then it was already quite crowded with tourists. The site itself is iconic and definitely worth visiting at least once if you’re in Macau. The stone façade is beautifully preserved and stands out against the blue sky, making it a great photo spot. The surrounding area is lively, with lots of souvenir shops and food stalls to explore after your visit. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere felt vibrant and full of history. A must-see landmark that captures both the cultural and colonial heritage of Macau.
Tommy G — Google review
The Ruins of St. Paul’s is one of the best spots to visit in Macau. Even though only the front wall remains, it looks amazing and full of history. The view from the top of the stairs is nice, and there are many shops and snacks nearby. It’s a great place to take photos and feel the culture of Macau.
Ellison L — Google review
The Ruins of St. Paul’s is Macau’s most iconic landmark. I heard the night illumination is beautiful, but unfortunately I couldn’t see it this time. Hopefully next time. I visited on Monday around noon and it was extremely crowded. I had a stroller with me, and the bumpy paths made it a bit tough to get around. If you plan to visit, I’d recommend going earlier in the morning to avoid the biggest crowds.
TooGood — Google review
2025 August 4★ Just a front facade of an old famous church. Back is reinforced by I bars and other steel braces. Plenty of tourists and plenty of stores in the area leading up to the ruins. Steps just in front makes photos look great. Though the thousands of people in front makes it easy to be photo bombed. Still worth checking out. Especially the area.
K W — Google review
Pretty much as advertised. One of the symbols of Macau (it appears on their coinage), this is the remains/ruin of a church built in the 17th century. As of late 2025 there's a lot of construction going on in the area and it's hard to tell how much access you have. Commands an impressive view of Macau and can be accessed from multiple directions. Great photo spot with a large set of stairs leading up to the ruins. No tickets are needed just to walk up and take photos. There are probably tours and other things available for a fee.
Paul — Google review
The Ruins of Saint Paul's must be the most well known and visited attraction in Macau. It is very interesting to understand its history and there is a small museum behind it and that shows some of the ruins. Although it was a slow day and it poured right before we got there, it was still full of people. However I was told that usually on the busier days, there wouldn't be any space on the stairs.
Nelson S — Google review
This unique place is located in the heart of the city. It has both outdoor and indoor areas. The staff is quite rude, but they speak English. There are many relics of Mass equipment, such as monstrances, and other items.

The Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center is a bustling hub featuring shops, a cinema, and various dining options, including a revolving restaurant with stunning views. While the Outer Harbour used to offer picturesque vistas of boats on the Pearl River, it has undergone significant development with highways, skyscrapers, and attractions like the Macau Tower. For a more authentic experience, visitors are encouraged to explore the vibrant Inner Harbour area with its historic buildings and local businesses.
Do it! Go! Make the effort!! It’s a must and the 180 lounge is the best value full stop! It’s slickly managed and what a view! The whole experience from start to finish was superb and for around $35 including drinks (beers and wines too) and a snack or two including Portuguese delicacies it’s a no brainer!

Macau Tower is absolutely breathtaking! The 360° panoramic view of the city is simply mesmerizing — from the glittering skyline to the serene waters, every angle is picture-perfect. As a bit of a daredevil myself, I loved the thrilling activities they offer — from the skywalk to the bungee jump, it’s an adrenaline rush like no other. Whether you’re there for the views, the adventure, or both, Macau Tower is a must-visit experience that will leave you in awe.

Guia Fortress and Lighthouse, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Macau, is a colonial lighthouse with a 15-meter stone structure and a small museum. It sits atop Guia Hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and can be reached by cable car from the Flora Gardens below. The fortress houses the Chapel of Lady of Guia, built in 1622 by Clarist nuns and adorned with murals depicting both Western and Chinese themes.
It’s a very small fortress, it seemed very compacted. It’s on the hill so mind the heat and hill. We hiked up again after it closed, just to check the night views of the hotels. The hotel Lisboa is definitely visible.
Echo B — Google review
As a child, I visited Macau once, so this time around, I wanted to explore a different side of the city. My mom and I embarked on a leisurely walk through the neighbourhood to reach the fortress. While it wasn't as bustling as the other tourist hotspots, the journey was a bit longer than expected.
L L — Google review
An easy walk uphill to find a historic relic. The lighthouse was once part of the historic battery there. The chapel was open for visit but no pictures allowed inside. Really picturesque photos of the light house plus wide open aerial views of Macao. This was also where the typhoons were hoisted in the old days, and therefore there are displays of the actual typhoon signals. Those are also relics now. The whole area is a natural park, and also there are military use tunnels as well, and the tunnels are open Tuesday to Sunday. Really worth a visit for instagrammable photos and also for historic buffs.

Highest peak in macau, so views are amazing. Highlights include the worlds cheapest and also shortest cable car ride.
Arthur H — Google review
After a trek up to the lighthouse in hot conditions, the view was expansive over Macao. Sadly the lighthouse was closed and the church was small. No photography was allowed inside the church making the visit shorter. There was free water in the visitor centre which was greatly needed after the trek. If you want to see it, get a taxi as far as you can. Similar views of Macao may be obtained from the air conditioned tower.
Gary J — Google review
This quaint fortress and lighthouse is accessed by a very short hike up the side of a hill. The start of the walk from the foot of the hill is rather steep, but the path levels out soon enough. A 360° view of the city can be seen at the top of the hill.
Carrie K — Google review
It's a bit of a hike so wear sensible shoes. You can see most of Macau from the top. There is a chapel with freaco paintings that are fading. This is also used as a weather station to signal typhoons (hurricanes). There are old canons as well as an old dugout that houses a generator.

The Macau Museum of Art is the city's primary art museum, showcasing a wide range of exhibits including Chinese painting, calligraphy, ceramics, and more. Visitors can explore permanent collections featuring 17th-century Chinese calligraphy and 19th-century sketches and paintings of old Macau by English artist George Chinnery.
Free admission and the exhibition is great. Just the layout of the museum could be a bit weird so you may have to walk back and forth for certain exhibits.

Such a fun day out for me and my three year old. The gallery spaces are well curated, presenting a great range of local art, craft and contemporary installations. It's not too big that you feel fatigued and the art square surrounding the buildings is really pleasant. I really enjoyed the diverse work on show. The interactive sections of the exhibitions allowed for some fun free play. The guards and reception staff are relaxed, friendly and welcoming to families. Check it out!
Michael M — Google review
The MAM is the only true art museum in Macau but has a rather limited collection compared to its international peers and lacks pieces capable of giving a 'wow' factor. We visited in the afternoon and found the museum quiet with only 5 or 6 other visitors. It took us around 40 minutes to make our way through the available exhibition rooms. On the fourth floor there were two galleries dedicated to Chinese Calligraphy and some nice scrolls and historical Chinese pieces from the 17th century. This was a large collection which is potentially difficult for western visitors to appreciate without sufficient background of Chinese art and knowledge of Chinese characters. The third floor offered a contemporary art exhibit and featured works of interesting compositions of mixed media, paintings and informally created images. This was worth a quick look but nothing stuck a huge interest for us unfortunately. On the same floor there is a small area where you can find Macau landmarks that have been photographed in the distant past next to more recent photographs. We always enjoy these 'Now-and-Then' themes. Also there are a few rooms on this floor featuring sketches and drawings by George Chinnery from the 1850s. This affords a peek of early Macau from a European perspective and gives an idea of what certain places in Macau must have looked like 160 years ago. The second floor was closed for renovation. The 1st floor currently houses a temporary exhibition called 'City Face', which features eye-catching print and poster pieces from around the world, each uniquely designed to highlight and draw attention to their respective locales. Overall we found the current collection in the MAM less substantial than expected, but we look forward to future visits as this museum transforms its mega-space of art.

Nestled within Seac Pai Van Park, the Macao Giant Panda Pavilion is a must-visit destination for animal lovers. This pavilion is home to rare giant pandas and offers both indoor and outdoor habitats for these magnificent creatures. The design of the pavilion aims to replicate the natural environment of pandas, with features like a translucent roof in the indoor enclosure and a rock wall in the outdoor area. Visitors can observe these national treasures during feeding times when they are most active.
We came here to see the Pandas. There were 2 pandas out of the 4 currently on the site. One was completely in sleep mode and the other was moving around here and there. It is fun to see the Pandas and nice time pass. It's a free entrance here and tourists all come majorly to see the Pandas. Such funny and lazy creatures and it is intriguing to look at them and observe them. Kids and adults both will enjoy this. Recommended to come by!

We were excited to visit since they have pandas and red pandas, but were disappointed to find out they no longer have red pandas, and only two pandas remain. On the bright side, admission is free and there’s a souvenir shop where you can grab some cute items.

If you’re bringing children, please don’t let them climb inside the panda exhibition. It’s not only dangerous for themselves but also for others who might get accidentally kicked. Fortunately, the staff were kind and immediately reminded them. The staff was very nice, he even told us that the pandas usually wake up around noon. Overall, this place is worth visiting since it’s FREE, but it’s best to come around 2 p.m. when the pandas are awake/eating.

Absolutely amazing that this is a free zoo. Lots of things were closed for whatever reason, such as red pandas. It would be great if they told why, etc. But still nice regardless and would recommend.

Hac Sa Beach is a renowned destination in Macau, known for its long stretch of black and golden sand. Measuring about 1 km in length, it offers ample space even during the busy summer months. The name 'Hac Sa' translates to 'black sand' in Chinese, reflecting the beach's unique blackish sand due to minerals flushed by the water over the island.
黑沙海滩 Hac Sa Beach Facing the South China sea, waves are strong. Some water sports and people swimming if there are no weather warning. It's conveniently accessed by taxi or public buses. Food stalls available too. Life guards are located every 40-50m. Safety is taken care of. Nice area for a walk by the beach. Be sure to visit if you are in Macau.

The beach isn't particularly beautiful, and has nothing to offer shadow, therefore I don't recommend going in the morning like I did as it will be fully exposed to the sun. When I was there there, all the shops, bars and restaurants around were closed, but maybe it was too early (around 9:30am on a weekday). On the positive sides: the beach offers the necessary facilities such as changing rooms, toilets, showers... and is well connected to the bus network. I didn't stay too long as I didn't want to burn alive, but it was a real pleasure jumping into the sea after doing the walk next to it ("coastal trail"), especially as the beach was absolutely empty.

This is the place that I missed so much , I was there 40 years ago. It used to be covered with all black sand, now the beach is mostly covered by yellow sand. The beach is still the longest beach in Macau, with more new facilities . At the other end of the beach, there is a beautiful hotel resort .

Hac Sa Beach in Macau is a serene escape that offers a striking contrast to the bustling energy of the city’s casinos and resorts. Known for its unique black sand, which lends the beach its name (Hac Sa means "black sand" in Cantonese), this natural gem is a perfect spot for both locals and tourists seeking a laid-back atmosphere with scenic views. The beach stretches wide and is generally uncrowded, making it ideal for a peaceful stroll along the shoreline or a relaxed day of sunbathing. The water here, though not crystal clear, is refreshing and warm, inviting you in for a dip on hot days. There are ample facilities, including barbecue areas and picnic spots, which are great for families or groups of friends looking to enjoy an outdoor meal with ocean views. One of the highlights near Hac Sa Beach is the variety of dining options, notably the iconic Portuguese restaurant Fernando’s, which serves up authentic dishes just steps from the sand. This adds an extra dimension to the beach visit, as you can easily transition from a leisurely day by the water to a flavorful, rustic meal. Though not as glamorous as other beaches in Asia, Hac Sa has an authentic, rugged charm that makes it special. It’s a wonderful spot for relaxation, a touch of local culture, and an authentic side of Macau that many tourists might overlook.

We were surprised because there's a lot of golf balls here at the beach. Not sure if anyone swim here if the weather warmer cuz when we came, the sea water was not friendly swimmer at all. The view is not a ideal place too, to be honest. There're few food vendors around but with very less choices. However, we saw this place has many free BBQ tables around the park which free to use for family or friend group to come and set up their own picnic and cook their own foods. They even provides fresh water as well. Very nice idea!

Calm spot in Macau. Color of the sea is brown. Cleaning service makes beach look clean every morning. There is a BBQ area, campsite (50MOP per person for 1 day, may stay there no longer than 12 days per month), very good playground with french equipment would be nice place for kids as well as for adults. Public toilets, changing rooms and open showers between bus stop and the beach and another with private showers near campsite (cold water only).

Hac Sa is also called Black Sand Beach due to the interesting mix of yellow and black sand found here. This is the only proper beach in Macau, located at the southern end of Coloane. You'll find a few beach shops, Portuguese BBQ style restaurants, public toilets and changing rooms, small section of promenade at the southern end as well as children's play area. Importantly, there is a long stretch of beachfront space and outdoor area at Hac Sa Beach. Water quality is murky, not particularly clear but many locals enjoy swimming here. If you visit during on windy days, you may also catch some wind surfers. This can be enjoyable to watch. If you walk up Rua de Hac Sa Long Chao Kok street on the south end of the beach, you often find fisherman pulling small catch from the the choppy waters. Continue that route and you can take what is easily one of Macau's best trails, the Long Chao Kok Coastal Trail, which clings to the rocky outcrops and shoreline and affords hikers some surprisingly good coastal views. You can reach the Hac Sa Beach area by taking public buses 15, 21A, 25 or 26 to Hac Sa. All bus routes are MOP6 per person for all rides throughout Macau.
Brad — Google review
The name Hac sa comes from the sand lying on the beach, black sand. I see it is closer to rough mud than sand. So the water too not clear but dark. The beach is long and beautiful. There are changing room in the toilet and outdoor shower. Some foods are sold at near the street and couple of restaurants are also a good choice.

Opened in 1993 to honor the Grand Prix Macau, this museum spans 80 square meters and showcases race cars, motorcycles of famous riders, memorabilia, and valuable objects connected to the prestigious event. Visitors can also enjoy a race simulator and watch highlights of different races through installed projectors.
An amazing historical museum with beautifully restored antique cars. This interactive museum is for all ages and the ability to participate in so many activities makes the entry price well worth it. Highly recommend! Will need to brush up on my simulator racing skills through!

An extraordinary museum showing the history of Macau GP. There were a lot of games or simulators for you to play. I visited on Friday afternoon and there were just a few visitors inside. But I still needed to queued for 20-30 minutes for some of the games. I believe it requires much more queuing time during weekends. Thus, I recommend to spend at least half of the day for visiting the museum. The ticket price was cheap. I would definitely come again next time.

It is superbly organized, providing visitors with a fantastic, engaging opportunity to learn all about F1, F3, and various other racing categories.

I wholeheartedly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Macau—it is a truly brilliant, exhilarating, and worthwhile destination.

Situated adjacent to the renowned St. Paul's Church, it symbolizes Macau's multicultural identity. The temple features intricate animal sculptures adorning its walls, roof, and entrance like other traditional Chinese temples. Its serene ambiance and beautiful porch make it a popular spiritual destination in Macau.
A small but significant worship place for the locals. It's nearby st Paul's ruins and you should spend 10 minutes here to read all about this deity and it's relevance to the people. Follow the footpath signages to the newly opened necha cafe to grab a drink and view the displays. More developments will come for this cafe as it develops into a heritage center.

St. Dominic's Church, a historic baroque Catholic church dating back to the late 16th century, is a place of spiritual significance and artistic beauty. Dedicated to Lady of the Rosary, it features three elegantly crafted halls adorned with colorful stained glass windows, oil paintings, and statues of Christ. The church also houses a sacred-art museum displaying Mass utensils and wood-carved artifacts.
St. Dominic’s Church, also known as the Church of the Rosary, was founded by the Dominican Order in 1587, making it the first church of its kind in China and now boasting over 400 years of history. Today, it stands as a treasured UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Senado Square, the church is surrounded by Macau’s most iconic landmarks. Despite the hustle and bustle outside, stepping through its doors transports visitors into a sanctuary of calm and serenity. The church’s architecture is a striking blend of colors and textures—its sunny yellow façade, accented by green shutters and white ornamental carvings, pairs beautifully with the intricate mosaic flooring that adds a touch of exotic charm. Inside, visitors will also find a small museum that holds around 300 historical artifacts, including rare relics and carvings from the ruins of St. Paul’s, offering a deeper glimpse into the region’s rich religious and cultural heritage.

Filled with holy atmosphere & cozy newly added lights near the pillars & roof. Beautiful architecture & rich history, being a church that has stood for over 400 years. Located right in the heart of Senado Square, the middle front part of the hall is blocked off, I assume it was done to lessen the crowd. As it is near a touristy location, expect there to be people coming in & out non stop. If not for that, I would've given it a 5 star.

D. Pedro V. Theatre, a circa-1860 Western-style venue, is a romantic and historic landmark in the city of Macau. This elegant theater has been hosting orchestral performances, opera, music festivals, and various other cultural events since its establishment. With its impeccable architectural design and fancy decor, it exudes a strong romantic ambiance that makes it popular for couples and even marriage proposals.
An elegant theater / museum with strong mixed style (which is very unique of Macau). Free to enter and a bit dark inside but very quiet and nice to have a quick rest or meditation after going up the small hill all the way to the top (which is indeed a bit tiring). Outside of the theatre is a nice view with the huge tree. If u r tired of too many ppl all around the tourist spots in Macau, and would like to do a bit exercise, this is a good place to go. Note: the slope to the top can be quite steep, and may cause difficulties to certain ppl. Consider taking a taxi instead maybe.

Dom Pedro V Theatre is one of the UNESCO World Heritage attractions in the Historic City Centre of Macau, situated at St. Augustine Square. Entry is free during opening hours 10.00am to 6.00pm. Inside, there is an performance waiting room with three chandeliers, wall mirrors as well as an entrance into the main theatre. You can look into the modern small theatre seating area and walk up a single staircase and take a look inside from the balcony level of the theatre. Photography is allowed throughout the attraction. The interior of Dom Pedro V Theatre is ok. The real star of this attraction remains the outside façade, which dates back to the 1870s. The façade is neo-classical style and beautifully decorated in a pastel green color. It is during the day and is very nice in evenings during sunlight hours. Overall, we much enjoy this particular attraction, finding it a unique inclusion in the World Heritage collection. While not much to actually see inside the theatre, the atmosphere is still very nice and its just fun entering and having a look inside the first Western style theatre house built in all of China.

The temple to worship the Guan Yu Buddhist God as well as others Buddhist duties in the Chinese version of ancient Buddhist beliefs. The temple is very well kept despite its old existence. We arrived at around 9am in the morning when the temple just open. The lady who's takes care of the temple she quickly light up the candle lamp for us to ignite the incense. She asked us what nationality are we from and when she knows rhay we are Thais, she tried to spend with us a little in Thai and teach us how to properly pray for the Buddhist duties for our own prosperity.

You can find Sam Kai Vui Kun Temple (Kuan Tai Temple) on the small street called Rua Sul do Mercado, just behind the Macau Tourism building in Senado Square. This temple is one of three included in the Historic Centre of Macau World Heritage designation and is similar to many others that can be found throughout Macau. It was built at this sight during 1723-1795 and was historically a meeting place for business representatives of the three streets that intersected in this area. Not one of the more impressive Chinese temples in Macau but a convenient one to visit for those with limited time or only making a day trip.

The Kun Iam Ecumenical Center (觀音蓮花苑) is a peaceful and spiritually uplifting landmark in Macau, dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy, Kun Iam. Situated on a small artificial island near the waterfront, the center is known for its impressive 20-meter-tall bronze statue of Kun Iam, gracefully standing atop a lotus-shaped dome. The architecture is a blend of modern and spiritual design, symbolizing harmony and compassion. Inside the dome, visitors can explore exhibits promoting religious tolerance and universal love, as well as quiet meditation areas. The atmosphere is calm and serene, offering a refreshing break from the bustling city. The surrounding views of the sea and skyline add to the tranquil experience, making it a perfect place for peaceful reflection, learning, and photography. Whether you're spiritually inclined or simply curious, the Kun Iam Ecumenical Center is a meaningful stop in Macau.

The statue was built in 1999 and sits gracefully on a lotus platform in the Outer Harbor of Macau. The lotus flower is the symbol of purity, and in Buddhism, it represents enlightenment. The Goddess of Mercy stands atop a globe, symbolizing her compassion for all people in the world. Her posture is elegant, with one hand holding the lotus flower, and the other hand holding the water vase, symbolizing peace and harmony. The statue is a magnificent testament to the Buddhist faith and culture in Macau, and it draws visitors from all over the world. The sheer size and intricacy of the statue are stunning. Her presence is calming, and she's a symbol of hope, faith, and kindness. Moreover, the statue's location allows visitors to experience her beauty while surrounded by the natural elements of the sea and sky. The view from the location is breathtaking, and it's a serene place to contemplate life's wonders. In conclusion, the Macau Goddess of Mercy statue is a stunning masterpiece, and it’s a testament to the beauty of Buddhism. The statue's intricate design, size, and symbolism make it an essential and valuable cultural landmark in Macau. The Statue of the Goddess of Mercy is one of the most spiritually uplifting monuments, and is well worth visiting as it invokes a sense of peace, hope, and inspiration.

The satue stands tall at an edge of the water in the middle of the city. its a wuite place with photo spot. we have visited in the noon time soon after we reached Macau. Staff were friendly to guide us to know the history of the place and importance of the statue. I think it would be more beautiful if it had beed visited in the evenings time. Macau is quite hot and tropic weather most favorable to enjoy this place in noon time. I suggest to vist this place with friends and family for knowing the place and take some rest inside the dome under the statue in the hot sun.

The Maritime Museum (MOP10 for adults over 17, only MOP5 of Sunday) is easily one of Macau's best museums and is conveniently located just across from the famous A-Ma Temple. Here you can see four floors of exhibitions, displays and information related to local maritime activity and how Macau was shaped throughout history due to its proximity to the sea. There are many interesting things to see here. You can visit in as little as 20-30 minutes or spend a couple hours visiting more thoroughly if you enjoy this type of speciality museum. We particularly enjoyed the various model ships of historical Chinese and Portuguese design and as well as the models of more model vessels found throughout the Maritime Musuem. On the ground floor there is also an interesting "Little A-Ma Theatre" witch helps explain the significance of this goddess, the role she played with early inhabits to the Macau islands. It also helps to establish context for the visit you may have just made to the active A-Ma Temple just across Barra Square. On the second floor there is a wall map that reveals ancient Chinese naval exploration which reached as far as the Red Sea and the coast of Africa back in the 14th century, long before the Europeans visited this part of the world for the first time in the 16th century. Similarly, on the third floor there is a 3D model of Macau during the 17th century, depicting what the city would have looked like during that time period, with its natural harbors, walls, fortifications and even farm land which is all but gone today, covered with densely populated housing districts. Many of the current World Heritage attractions are present on this map and were fun spotting out. Towards the end of the museum there are some aquariums with various fish that are worth a quick look. Outside there is a small cafe but large number of outdoor seats to have a rest. There is also a fun little junk-boat for children to get on for pictures as well as a long traditional dragon boat on display for visitors to see. Overall, the Maritime Museum is a good collection and nice endeavor made by the Macau Tourism Office to promote Macau's maritime history. We consider this one of the best museums in Macau and a worthy consideration for those interested in Macau's history or looking to take in a museum or two during their visit.

Monte Fort, built in 1626, is a large fort with a rooftop park offering stunning skyline views and featuring historic cannons. Climbing Mount Fortress hill to the right of the facade provides an opportunity to see remaining canons and defensive structures. Don't miss Na Tcha Temple behind the ruins for a different perspective on the site. Nearby, there's a section of old city walls made from clay, soil, sand, rice straw, crushed rocks, and oyster shells.
Very crowded, but a surprising experience in Macau. The fort was built by the Portuguese and had some of the classic European style. There was a great view of Macau from the top. I bit of a hike to get up there, but spectacular views.

A few step from Ruin of Saint Paul’s. Just a little climbing, we arrived at another historical site. The fortress was built during colonial time by Portuguese. The architecture and environment of the place reminds me of Coimbra, Portugal. The view of Macau from above and outstanding Grand Lisboa building can be seen from new perspective at this fortress.
Abdulloh Y — Google review
"Built by the Jesuits, from 1617 to 1626, this was the city's principal military defence structure and was crucial in successfully holding off the attempted Dutch invasion of Macao in 1622. It was built on top of Mount Hill, strategically located in the centre of the Macao Peninsula, watching over the city in all directions. The fortress is in the shape of an irregular trapezoid that covers an area of approximately 8000 square metres. In the past, it was equipped with cannons, military barracks, wells and an arsenal that held sufficient ammunition and supplies to endure a siege lasting up to two years. The walls are 3.7 metres wide at the base, 9 metres high narrowing upwards to 2.7 metres wide at the top. The parapets were crenulated for the installation of 32 cannons and the two corners of the southeast wall have watchtowers. There are no weapons facing mainland China, indicating that the fortress was only built for defence against attacks from the sea. In 1965 a weather observatory was installed at the site and the fortress was demilitarized in 1976. In 1998 the Macao Museum was installed at the site."

Cool and ancient Portuguese fortress next to the Ruins of Sao Paulo. The fortress provides a panoramic view of the historic city center of Macau, rest of the Macau Peninsula, even coastal Zhuhai. This fortress has WAY too much cannons. The Macau museum is situated at the top in a Portuguese style building. Watching the sunset reflect over the pool in front of the museum was really spectacular.

The Moorish Barracks, built in 1874 on Barra Hill in Macau, boasts a striking neoclassical design with Mughal-style influences. Originally housing a regiment from Goa, India during Portuguese rule, the brightly painted building now serves as the headquarters of the Marine and Water Bureau. Its unique architecture, designed by an Italian architect, stands out with its pale yellow facade and white accents.
The Moorish Barracks is a historic landmark in old Macau. It did not house Moorish soldiers but housed a garrison of soldiers from India. The superstructure stands in contrast with the more contemporary apartment buildings adjacent to and surrounding it. The facade is painted yellow and has and ornate tower.
James Z — Google review
Beautiful exotic building belonging to the Port Authority. The building uses a mogol style in the façade and has neo-classical spacial structure inside, in a typical revivalist solution of the 19c. The use of military corps from different parts of the empire was a fashion of the times, for the sake of imperial showoff (the British used Punjabi corps as they don't drink nor smoke, making them a safe asset to have near gunpowder). The original purpose of the building, in 1874, was to function as barracks for a goan military corps. In 1905 it becomes the headquarters of the Port Authority. The outer arcade is free of access, but the inside of the building is accessible only if an exhibition is showing, and even so only within the exhibition area.
João X — Google review
The Moorish Barracks is one of the UNESCO World Heritage attractions in the Historic Centre of Macau. However, it is one of the member sites that is not normally open to the public. During most Chinese New Year (CNY) Day (Jan-Feb), the 238-metre dragon parades its way through the Historic Centre of Macau, making stops at specific landmark buildings, including the Moorish Barracks for a few minutes, allowing visitors some great photograph opportunities. The dragon passes by the Moorish Barracks after calling upon at St. Lawrence Church. it stops here briefly before continuing onward to Barra Square. If you are following the dragon through the Historic City Centre, be ready to move with the crowd of photographers after each picture as the dragon moves surprisingly quick for its size. Note: If we have a sunny day, it can be difficult difficult to take picture of the dragon as it pauses and curls in front of the Moorish Barracks as the sun is directly in front of you. If this is the case, simply move down the street a bit and change your angle. If you go past the barracks, you can take pictures as the dragon passes by, this is probably the best photography angle on sunny days.

I had the chance to see The House of Dancing Water and it was an absolutely spectacular experience. The staging, music, and acrobatics were breathtaking — a true masterpiece that kept me engaged from start to finish. Although this show is not part of Cirque du Soleil, it has the same level of creativity and excellence. I’ve also seen several Cirque du Soleil productions, and while each one has its own unique theme and atmosphere, they all share one thing in common: they are always worth experiencing. If you love live performances that combine art, storytelling, and pure emotion, this show is a must. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Macau!

到此一遊 The House of Dancing Water* at City of Dreams is a breathtaking spectacle, blending acrobatics, dance, theater, and high-diving into a mesmerizing performance. From the moment the show begins, the state-of-the-art stage—a massive pool that transforms seamlessly between water and land—sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. The show’s storyline, a romantic tale of love, conflict, and adventure, may not be its strongest element, but it serves as a beautiful backdrop for the jaw-dropping stunts and choreography. The performers are world-class, executing gravity-defying aerial maneuvers, synchronized swimming, motorcycle stunts, and dramatic high dives with flawless precision. The sheer athleticism and artistry on display are astounding. It’s a must-see for anyone visiting Macau, offering an experience that’s hard to find anywhere else in the world.
Matthew C — Google review
Incredibly drawn out narrative with lots of water and athletic talent, but not much progression. The main characters repeatedly get killed off and revived so many times your only frame of reference is your watch on how much runtime is left. The people in front of me fell asleep mid-way. The slapstick comedy between the jester and the other main character was fine, though I could sense an identity crisis with the cyberpunk and motorcycles bit of the show (it seems this has been recycled from the original show under a decade ago?). The cheapest seating tier is fine; the more expensive, higher up seating (though perhaps more centred) in my opinion isn't worth the price. Taking into account the above, the cheapest tier presents an average value for money. All in all, not too bad, and the athletic talent is good, but not very memorable.

This is one of those shows you must experience before you die! Mind-blowing acrobatics, breathtaking water effects, and electrifying energy—it gives you goosebumps!

St. Joseph's Seminary and Church, a Baroque-style church constructed in 1758, is a hidden gem in Macau. The church boasts stunning old-fashioned baroque architecture with its classic scalloped canopy and graceful staircase. Its white and yellow interiors exude a spiritual ambiance, while the lavishly adorned altars are captivating in their design.
The most outstanding of the World Heritage churches in Macau. Extremely well maintained with a magnificent dome and a light, airy interior. It would be easy to sit inside all day soaking up the atmosphere and thinking of all those who have sat in the same beautiful space over the centuries and imagining how they were able to build it in the first place in such an alien environment. Along with the Ruins of St Paul's and Guia Fortress Chapel, this is an absolute must see in Macau.

Macao is a city full of history and culture, and the St. Joseph's Seminary and Church is one of its most representative and historically valuable sights. Built in the 17th century, the St. Joseph's Seminary and Church is an elegant and noble European-style building with exquisite carvings and a Renaissance art atmosphere. The interior decoration of St. Joseph's Seminary and Church is even more fascinating. Its Baroque-style artistic decoration makes visitors feel as if they were in the Victorian era. The precious saints and murals inside the seminary are even more impressive, allowing tourists to not only feel the power of religious beliefs, but also the charm of art. The interior decoration of the church is also full of classical European style, and the arts such as murals and sculptures from the time of construction are extremely valuable. Inside the church, visitors can enjoy the masterpieces of Italian masters and contemporary artists, reflecting not only the religious beliefs of the builder, but also their pursuit and love of art and culture. In summary, the St. Joseph's Seminary and Church and the Church of St. Paul in Macao are cultural and historical treasures, witnessing the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures. These ancient and culturally valuable artworks provide us with an excellent opportunity to taste European art and culture and appreciate historical and cultural treasures.

Beautiful barroque chapel built by the Jesuits in the 18c. The chapel (and seminar) passed hands several times, being now under diocesan management. There is a small museum providing information on the role of the Jesuits in Macau. The space has great acustics, hosting music events sometimes.

This seminary was built in 1758. Most tourists would skip this place since it requires walking uphill through local side streets and tight alleys. Once there, the main sanctuary serves as a quiet getaway from the mobs of tourists at Sanedo square and Ruins of St Paul's. It was good just to spend 10 mins sitting and enjoying the architecture and quietness of the place. They have noon time worship. Just visit the archive building to the right to get some air conditioning to cool down. They have some interesting artifacts in that building.

One of Macau's more attractive churches to visit is St. Joseph's Church located behind St. Augustine Square and down a side street, Rua do Seminario, from St. Lawrence Church. Here you will find a rare example of Baroque style architecture, blended with the traditional Portuguese colour scheme and neo-classical church facade. The interior of the church is quite nice, featuring an attractive alter area, decorative wood carvings as well as solomonic style pillars. There is also a nice organ overhead but we've not yet heard it being played. The church was built by the Jesuits and had formal ties to the Church of Mater Dei, which now rests in ruins and is presently known as the Ruin's of St. Paul. Interestingly, there is a large case of stairs leading up to the St. Joseph's Church, just like at the Ruins of St. Paul. As such, this can give you a present day perspective of what the Church of Mater Dei (Ruin's of St. Paul) would have looked like in past centuries before it was destroyed. We very much enjoy visiting St. Joseph's Church, finding it very quiet with few (or no) other visitors. While other World Heritage church attractions, nearer to Senado Square see many visitors, St. Joseph's remains off the beaten path and is always very quiet inside. St. Joseph's Church is best visited before or after seeing St. Lawrence Church just down Rua do Seminario. Then you can continue southwest down Rua Padre Antonio towards World Heritage attractions in that direction or walk back to St. Augustine Square to see attractions there.

The term "Cotai Strip" was coined by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, referring to their development of a series of hotel-casinos in this region. The first casino to commence operations in Cotai was the Grand Waldo Hotel in May 2006. The largest property on the strip, The Venetian Macao, opened its doors on August 28, 2007.

This place is full of fun and discovery. I’m from New York, and honestly, the Macao Science Center blew me away, it’s way better than the one back home. My 3-year-old had such a great time exploring all the interactive exhibits, and I was impressed by how up to date everything was. They even had displays about artificial intelligence, which shows how forward-thinking the center is. It’s clean, well-organized, and perfect for families. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Macau with kids or if you just love science.

This is a fun museum for kids and on weekends, this place does get packed with kids and their parents. You can buy tickets near the entrance and there's a gift shop near the toilets. This museum utilizes a lot of projectors for showing videos. This museum is spacious is nice for school field trips

Just pass by here because the building looks interesting to take a photos. Surrounding was nice with mini garden and sea area. The price actually not expensive to enter and inside there if i look from the picture on internet it's also looks cool. It's a planetarium and space science museum. But maybe it's more suitable for kid i think.

Lou Lim Ioc Garden is a serene and picturesque traditional Chinese garden located in Macau. Established in 1906, this leafy oasis offers visitors a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Modeled after the renowned Suzhou Gardens, it features pavilions, bridges, ponds, and intricate paths that lead to stunning vistas. The garden's lush greenery, lotus ponds, bamboo groves, and unique architectural elements create an atmosphere of tranquility and solitude.
My sister and I visited the Jardim de Lou Lim Ioc; it is a hidden gem in the heart of Macau. This historical garden offers a peaceful escape right in the center of town. It's a great place for anyone looking for tranquility, as the garden is wonderfully quiet, even though it’s located in such a convenient, central area. The garden is filled with beautiful rock formations, adding a touch of natural beauty to the surroundings. There’s also a lovely pond teeming with fish, which adds to the serene atmosphere and you can even feed them with fish food. Trees and plants abound, making it a lush and green retreat. One of the best things about Jardim de Lou Lim Ioc is that there's no entrance fee, making it a perfect, low-cost place to relax and unwind. The sign indicates that it opens as early as 6 AM, making it ideal for a morning walk or an early start to the day. The pathways are well-maintained, even and paved, ensuring a comfortable stroll through the garden. I really enjoy spending time here—it’s a peaceful oasis that offers a lovely blend of nature and history, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Macau!

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

The St. Lawrence's Church, also known as Igreja de São Lourenço, is one of the most stunning churches in Macau. This church is a wonderful example of Baroque architecture and is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. Built in the 16th century, the St. Lawrence's Church has undergone several renovations and upgrades over the years, but it still retains its original elegance and beauty. The church interior boasts several impressive paintings and frescoes that tell the story of Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of the city. The church's façade, with its intricate details, statues, and ornaments, is a sight to behold and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. The church bell tower, which stands 24 meters tall, is also an architectural gem and offers visitors a great view of the surrounding area. Aside from its historical and architectural significance, St. Lawrence's Church is also an important religious site. Every year, the church organizes several religious events and processions, including the Feast of St. Lawrence, which is one of the most important religious events in Macau. In conclusion, St. Lawrence's Church is an exceptional example of religious and architectural heritage, showcasing the opulent Baroque style that characterizes much of Macau's historic architecture. It is a remarkable sight to see and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in experiencing the city's rich cultural heritage.

I am so happy that I was able to celebrate the 4th Sunday of Advent and the Christmas eve mass in this Church. What’s more surprising is that I think 90% of the church goers are Filipinos. And the Choir has drums, guitars, joyful singers! Eventhough I am not in the Ph, I can really feel the Christmas spirit here. And the Priest during the homily, I feel that he knows there are a lot of Pinoys, mentioned all the great viands of the Ph (for example, Bicol express, kare-kare). Natuwa ako lalo. 🙏🏼😇

The two-story traditional grey-brick courtyard house showcases typical Xiguan Chinese residential architecture, providing insight into Macau's rich cultural heritage.

A very well-preserved old mansion that used to belong to a rich merchant.

Nestled in a busy street, Lou Kau Mansion is easy to miss. Once you step inside, you'll be amazed by the architecture. I went there just after noon and there was no wait time. There's no air-conditioning inside but there are lots of electric fans scattered about to provide cool wind. The mansion has several chambers. There's a room where you can get free postcards and you can stamp them with the Lou Kau Mansion Logo!

The Lou Kau Mansion (free entry) is an interesting World Heritage Attraction found in the area of Senado Square in the Historic City Centre of Macau. The mansion was built around 1889 and belonged to a wealthy local merchant. It provides visitors opportunity to see a typical Chinese style courtyard house constructed of grey-bricks, based on a symmetric arrangement of three separate halls which are connected by passageways yet separated by small inner courtyards. Other elements of traditional Chinese architecture you can see include the decorative plasterwork above hall entrance doors and within the courtyards, the lovely wood carving canopies and screens found within the main halls as well as the furnishing within the mansion house. Lou Kau Mansion is a unique attraction in the Senado Square area, providing a fine example of preserved Chinese architecture in the Historic City Centre. It can be conveniently visited in 10-15 minutes before moving on to other interesting attractions in the area. Tip: There are occasionally free concerts being held at the Lou Kau Mansion. Free exhibitions are also held rather frequently. Tip: For a similar yet more comprehensive attraction, visit the Mandarin House, which is probably the best preserved Chinese style building in Macau and much larger than the Lou Kau Mansion.

A-Ma Cultural Village is a contemporary Buddhist temple complex in Macau, dedicated to the goddess A-Ma. Situated near Alto de Coloane, it pays homage to the legend of A-Ma, the Chinese goddess of seafarers. The village features an ornate Buddhist temple and houses the world's tallest stone statue of A-Ma. Visitors can explore a museum to learn about Macau's ancient connection with the goddess and her influence on the city's name.
There is shuttle bus to go to the temple and back from the bus-stop but we decided to walk all the way there. Not very tired if you enjoy walking slowly and taking photos. The temple is very nice and not crowded. It's very easy to come here from the town by bus with only 6 MOP/person.

The-Ma Cultural Village is located near the Peak of the Coloane mountain. This is a 7,000 sq. meter complex dedicated the the Goddess A-Ma also known as Mazu and the Goddess of the Sea. Opening hours are 9am to 6pm daily. Completed in 2003, this has become a very popular place to visit in Macau for A-Ma devotees and tourists alike. There are quite a few points of interest at the A-Ma Cultural Village including the six staircases with embedded bluestone reliefs leading up to the memorial archway entrance into the complex. There are beautiful dragon carved beams and delicate panels to be seen as you enter through the archway. At the complex, you will find a bell tower, drum tower, red-brick pagoda with nice reliefs, turtle ponds, large scale joss stick cauldrons and as well as the highlight Tin Hau Temple in the middle of the complex. This is an auspiciously decorated hall with delightful murals, more dragon columns, wooden carved interior beams and expected shrines with deity figures. Make sure to find the 5 metre tall vases within the temple. Behind the Tin Hau Temple, you will find a second two-storey worship hall that is also nice to visit. After exploring the interior of the A-Ma Cultural Village, just outside the complex, there is a separate Baoding Plaza, where you see a giant cauldron. A short 2-3 minute walk further towards the Coloane Peak, visitors will find the 19.99 metre tall Statue of the Goddess A-Ma. This is a nice way to round out visits to the A-Ma Cultural Village. Note that to make your way up the mountainside to the A-Ma Cultural Village you will need to start from the Seac Pai Van Park near the large scale stone archway monument. You can walk up Estrada do Alto de Coloane (allow 20-30 minutes for this fairly steep ascent). Taxis can drive you all the way up to the complex or you can use the free shuttle service between the lower car park area and the cultural village. Note that the shuttle runs every 30 minutes and is limited to 24 passengers. There is yellow coloured shuttle schedule with posted running times in the car park.

This is a Great Taoist/Buddhist Temple in Macau. I've visited the A Ma Cultrual Village and temple a couple of times in the past few years. It sits atop one of the taller hills on Cotai, and one can either hike up on the trail from the panda zoo (a bit arduos), or take the shuttle bus from the bottom. While built quite recently, it looks very much like a traditional temple from mainland Cina, and there is a bus, white statue of A Ma/Ma Zhu at the top. Admission is free and there few visitors (at least each time I went, which was hot summer), and the buses keep you waiting.

Flora Garden, located at the base of Guia Hill in Macau, is a redeveloped park that features vibrant flower displays and lush greenery. This European-style garden was once part of the Flora Palace, a 19th-century villa. Visitors can stroll along pathways lined with palm groves and blooming shrubs while taking in the scenic surroundings. The park also offers attractions such as an aviary, a small zoo, and a patio for refreshments.
It is a nice place to spend the morning or afternoon. Entrance is free. There are a lot of things to do. You can take a short cable car (MOP2 for one way trip, MOP3 for roundtrip, just keep the receipt for the return trip) to the middle of the park, there you can explore. There is a Macaque enclosure, aviary, and cute pet exhibit (bunny, turtles, etc.), which was unfortunately closed during our visit for cleaning.

Flora Garden is the second place to visit on the Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) sponsored 'An Experiment of Creativity' self-walking tour, a trail that takes in a handful of attractions around the St. Lazarus District on the Macau Peninsula. The 'An Experiment of Creativity' starts at the Kun Iam Temple on Avenida do Coronel Mesquita before making way to Flora Garden, which is 500 metres away on Avenida do Sidonio Pais. Best to use a heritage trail map if you are not familiar with the streets of Macau. This is a European style garden, situated just beneath Guia Hill. The garden centres around a pedestrian avenue lined with palms and flowering shrubs. There is a decent flowered fountain just below the hill, a few bird cages as well as a sloth bear enclosure, which is neat to see if the bear is active. Children playground area can also be found here as well as at the top of Guia Hill, which is reached by way of the Guia Cable Car (MOP2 single ride/ MOP3 double ride). The cable car terminus is located at the park entrance. The garden is open from 6am to 8.30pm daily. In the end, Flora Garden is not one of my favourite green spaces in Macau but it is a fair place to explore as part of this An Experiment of Creativity self-guided walking tour. You can spend 15 minutes here if time is limited or spend much longer if you want to further explore Guia Hill as part of the cable car experience before moving onward to the next attraction on the trail. Note: You will find more information on the MGTO website relating to the 'An Experiment of Creativity' self-guided walk as well as Flora Garden. You can download maps from this website resource as well. Note: Other attractions included on the 'An Experiment of Creativity' heritage trail include the Kun Iam Temple, Dr. Sun Yat Sen Memorial House, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden, Tap Seac Gallery, Tap Seac Square and St. Lazarus Church.

Guia Hill Municipal Park, located on the highest natural point of Macau, offers stunning panoramic views of the city. The park features the historic Guia Fortress, which includes a chapel and an old military fort built in the 1600s. The iconic Guia Lighthouse, constructed in 1865 as the first of its kind on the China coast, is also found within the park grounds.
The top and bottom of the small mountain have been well turned into a park. Under the mountain, one tunnel for cars and two tunnels for people to walk have been created. You can use the escalator instead of walking on the crowded streets in the tunnel. You can also reach the top of the mountain by elevator or cable car.
Platinum G — Google review
An unparalleled view of Macau from the top, and finding the tunnel with travelators and an elevator definitely made this trip a lot easier on a very hot sunny day. There's also a cable car that will get you up to the top, and it's about a 10-15min walk to the fortress from either the cable car or elevator. I definitely recommend going into the church at the top to see some amazing historical paintings, done by someone clearly devoted to their religion (unfortunately photos aren't allowed). Other than the church and the lighthouse, there's not much else up there.

Although there wasn’t much to see, the beautiful mint-green buildings, some small attractions, the wide river, and the chance to buy cute travel items made the visit worthwhile. It’s not a must-visit spot, but if you have time, it’s worth a look. Since it was a weekday with light rain, the place was quiet and there were no other visitors during our time there.

Camoes Garden, named after the renowned Portuguese poet who once lived in Macau, is a serene city park established in the 18th century. As you stroll through this tranquil space, you'll be serenaded by the sweet melodies of chirping birds. The park is a favorite spot for locals to engage in activities like Tai Chi and sword dancing or to work out at designated areas. You can also find a foot massage path if you're up for an invigorating experience.

We really enjoyed our stop at the Camoes Garden and Grotto this past week. The Grotto area was decent and there were some interestingly patterned tiles leading into the heart of the garden area. However, what we really liked was the thick, flush green, rainforest like environment within the park. During the cooler months, this made a great break from the sun but did have us thinking about how hot and humid it must be here during the summer, probably not the best time in the world to visit. In this area of Macau, just north of the Ruins of St. Paul, there are several additional attractions, all inclusions of the UNESCO World Heritage collection for the Historic City Centre of Macau. These include Casa Garden, the Old Protestant Cemetery and St. Anthony's Church. However, we enjoy the Camoes Garden, which is a non-UNESCO attraction best within this group. Collectively, you can visit all of these attractions comfortably in one hour. Then you can move down to the heavyweight attractions starting at the Ruins of St. Paul, approx 6-8 minute walk away. If you are short on time in Macau, we'd suggest skipping the Camoes Garden and Grotto and attractions in this area and starting/finishing your sight seeing with the Ruins of St. Paul, where you will find more interesting and important UNESCO and non-UNESCO attractions in the central area of Macau. If you really like gardens, this is a good place to visit. Others that we like in this area of Macau include the very good Lum Iok Gardens, northeast of Tap Seac Square and the Jardim San Francisco near the Lisboa Hotel.

Sir Robert Ho Tung Library is a historic building that was once the country retreat of businessman Sir Robert Ho Tung. The colonial-style structure, featuring a dome, arcaded facade, Ionic columns, and Chinese gardens, received a modern extension in 2006 by architect Joy Choi Tin Tin. This new addition includes Piranesi-inspired bridges connecting to the old house and a glass roof over the transitional space. Adjacent to the library is a peaceful garden with reading tables.
What a wonderful library, a respite away from the hustle and bustle of the Casinos. Library spread over three levels, informative staff. Newsprint and magazines on the second floor.

We were visiting the St. Augustine's church, when we spotted this library. The gate opens to a garden and a ground floor where are tables and chairs where you can rest. The library has several floors which you can access via a lift or by stairs. There are reading materials in both English and Chinese. They have quite a collection of books, films, and magazines. It seems to be a very inviting place to spend a quiet afternoon reading a book.

So, yeah, I was planning to go to this library, but I couldn’t find it right away. I took Bus 3A,tried following the maps, but they didn’t help. I ended up having to find it myself, which meant walking for more than 10 minutes before I got on the right track. The library was so nice, though! It’s really wide, the tables are spacious, and it’s not crowded at all. The chairs are super comfy,they’re red, warm, and really attractive. The only downside is the AC is way too cold. I brought a thin jacket, but it wasn’t enough. So if you’re planning to come here to study, better bring something a little thicker. If the AC is set really low and it’s freezing, you’ll have something to put on,maybe even a scarf. The toilets are clean and quiet, so you can concentrate easily. One thing to note: I was on the third floor, and not all the tables there have sockets. So if you’re using a computer or other gadgets to study, you’ll need to find the area with sockets first. Also, the library closes at 8 PM, which is early for me—I prefer later closing times. Compared to Patane and the other one near TapSeac (which closes at 12), 8 PM means I have to leave pretty early. But overall, it’s still great, I’d give it a 10 out of 10!

This member of the Historic Centre of Macau World Heritage collection originally served as a place of residence, first for Dona Carolina Cunha, for whom the building was originally constructed back in 1894 and then for the Sir Robert Ho Tung, a Hong Kong businessman for which the building takes its present name. Sir Robert Ho purchased the property in 1918 and used it as a summer residence until the outbreak of WWII, which saw him relocate here from Hong Kong between 1941 and 1945. Upon his death in 1955, he passed the building onto the Macau Government to be used as a public library. You can visit this attraction, which has a beautiful front courtyard setting with lawn chairs for resting. Walking through the library entrance into the back courtyard, you will find a bit of a rustic garden of sorts that is very peaceful and inviting. A sufficient area is set aside with tables and chairs and there are bathroom facilities as well as public self-service lockers, which are available to locals who are using the upstairs library facilities. While we haven't tried them, it seems that visitors should be able to use these lockers as well. Of interest, during our recent visit, we discovered a very strong wifi signal and fast access speed using the free Wifi Go internet service provided by the Macau Government at certain hot spots around the city. Overall, Sir Robert Ho Tung only take 5-10 minutes to visit the ground level and probably best serves as a relaxing and peaceful place to rest your feet if you've been touring many of the World Heritage attractions all day. The library is open 10.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday and 11.00am to 7.00 on Sunday but we've found it closed on National Holidays.

Lotus Square is a charming city park in Macau, showcasing a stunning golden lotus sculpture surrounded by lush greenery. The park features two impressive bronze lotuses that symbolize the prosperity of Macau, drawing in tourists with their intricate design and cultural significance. The 6-meter tall statue, weighing over 6 tons, is meticulously crafted to depict the stem, petals, and pistil of the lotus flower.
The lotus flower in full bloom symbolises the everlasting prosperity of Macau. The lotus flower has its own square and is right next to the Macau Grand Prix Museum. The sculpture was presented by China in 1999 to mark the handover of Macau from Portugal to China.

As it’s name indicates, it’s an open space where the Lotus sculpture stands. A symbol of Macau’s economic reputation, the Lotus sculpture is a landmark commemoration of the handover of Macau to China. It’s an impressive bronze structure of a lotus flower in full bloom, which was presented by China to Macau in 1999. It almost looks like a giant golden lotus with 3 layers of petals: the golden sheen becomes very bright in the sunlight 😎😎😎. The sculpture stands on 3 granite platforms representing the 3 territories of Macau SAR: Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane Island.

Taipa, a charming island just south of Macau, offers a delightful blend of modern attractions and traditional culture. Known for its array of hotels and casinos, Taipa is also home to athletic facilities and fascinating museums. Visitors can explore the Taipa Houses Museum, admire the stunning architecture of Portuguese colonial buildings, or indulge in authentic Macanese cuisine at local eateries along Rua do Cunha. The island's rich history as a former customs post is evident in its vibrant streets filled with Chinese shops and temples.
The night stroll is beautiful near Taipa. At one side are all the shiny hotels and casinos and the other part is elegantly dull yet mesmerizing. Hints of Portuguese architecture everywhere. The shops close early but the food is cheap and delicious!

The Grand Resort Deck is a fantastic family-friendly water park that promises an unforgettable day of fun and relaxation. With its impressive 575-meter skytop adventure rapids and a sprawling 8,000-square meter wave pool capable of generating waves up to 1.5 meters high, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Visitors rave about the clean, clear waters and exceptional service from friendly staff, including lifeguards who add a touch of charm with their stylish sunglasses.
Definitely recommend this place for families and friends! I came here off season(May) so there wasn't a lot of people. The water is clear and clean, and the service is splendid. I would love to say that the lifeguards are quite handsome with their sunnies.😎 I stayed at the Galaxy hotel and with the room itself, includes 2 adults and 2 children(under 12) to the deck. However, my group contains 4 adults, so we add-on 1 additional adult ticket(250MOP), as the other adult was an elderly(and free). And there were free water and sunblock for hotel guests too! Would love to revisit as it was so much fun!

Massive, fun, and perfectly designed! The Macau waterpark's dual indoor/outdoor setup is brilliant. In the cold season, the indoor area is your best bet,it's warm, vibrant, and has plenty of great rides to keep you entertained. But,the outdoor zone is where the magic happens. The slides are bigger, the views are better and the overall atmosphere is more exhilarating. If you can handle the cooler temps for a bit, it's 100% worth it for the enhanced fun factor. A top-tier attraction for families and thrill-seekers alike!

When I first entered studio city, I was amazed by all the different and unique water slides, pools and one of my favorite activities which was jumping off a rock ledge and plummeting down into deep waters. To elaborate on this amazing experience there were two parts of this activity just jumping down and also rock climbing up around 3.7 meters high and plummeting down. The water park also has two halves one is located outdoors and the other is located indoor in my opinion I like the outdoors one better since the outdoors one you can feel the warmth of the sun and also the environment is more comfortable. Since the water park does not start until 12 o'clock you can still have plans for the morning. Overall I really love this water park along with great services it provides such as you can get infinite free warm towels which you can find almost anywhere in the water park and I really hope to visit this water again and hope you will also have fun in studio city!!!

Do you like water slides? If yes, this is a must do in Macau. Certainly fills an early afternoon if not the whole day. There is a heated indoor area and outdoor part. Note that the outdoor water park closes during the colder season - nevertheless the park is also worth a visit in winter! Among the slides a few quite unique ones like the 300m water roller coaster (called lightspeed shuttle) or a black hole slingshot! People sensitive to motion sickness beware. Pricing is steep in my eyes with 470 MOP per adult. Kids receive a nominal discount and it’s worth watching out for 4 for 3 tickets as it does save a bit of money. The hotels also have special offers if you stay at COD or SC. Kids below 1.10m of size can have fun at the park (starlight rapids with an adult and a few wave pools) but note that most slides require a minimum size of 1.10 and they are quite strict with that! I highly recommend bringing sandals or flipflops as it makes walking across the different zones nicer and saves you some issues with foot hygiene. Waiting times were very modest for a Sunday afternoon (off-season) with most rides accessible within a few minutes. During high season especially mainland holidays I can guess exponentially increased wait times. There is some finger food available and food stalls provide some variety. In any case it’s best to arrive with neither a full stomach nor an empty one. General fitness is recommended as you’ll have to climb a lot of stairs. It’s generally save if you cannot swim, even with kids and there are plenty of staff around to monitor almost every centimeter of the water park.

It also features displays on Macao's history, commercial activities, religions, and cultures.

It's my second time visiting this museum. Luckily, both times happened to be on the 15th, so the museum is free. On my second visit, there were numerous tourist buses in the area, but the museum was still not crowded. Several of the tourists enjoy taking a photo in the garden outside the museum. There are some who are inside looking at the exhibit. Although the 3rd floor exhibit is under renovation. This time around there is a small cafe and museum shop at the entrance of the museum. Drop by here if you want to get a nice souvenir from Macau. The prices of the items are good and similar to the shops outside.

The cathedral holds the largest number of Catholic masses in Macau and has been the Cathedral of the Diocese since 1623, replacing St. Lazarus.
Founded by the Apostles under the authority of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church anounces His death and resurrection until His return, everywhere and every day, trying to live and love according to His teachings. A beautiful place to visit for those in need of forgiveness, confort, meaning and purpose.

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. (Romans 8:11-14 NIV)

The very pleasant and peaceful walk from Senado Square and then making one's way to St. Augustine's Square is truly a "delightful treasure"-- as well as an enormous change from the "Hustle and Bustle" and "modernity" of Macau's large casino hotels and large shopping centres. There usually are only a few few tourists.. and one will see many "locals"... but the UNESCO World Heritage buildings are really very interesting as they convey Macau's Portuguese and Chinese "hybrid history". In he early evening--- when it is cooler, it is a "must see/experience" when visiting Macau-- and one can also give some thought as to "the Other Face" of this wonderful city !!

The Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal is the gateway for Cotai Water Jet services to Hong Kong. It’s conveniently located adjacent to Macau International Airport, with easy access via the Taipa LRT station connected by covered walkways Check‑in is smooth, with friendly, English‑speaking staff overseeing immigration and boarding. Baggage tagging, wheelchair support, charging stations, and porter services are available . Lines for Cotai Water Jet run every ~30 minutes, ferrying passengers in under an hour to Hong Kong efficiently However, the terminal itself is very basic. Waiting areas offer minimal seating, often just a few rows and cleanliness is inconsistent, especially during busy weekends where crowds can be overwhelming. The layout is straightforward but lacks shops or food options, so Plan ahead. Boarding Cotai Water Jet from Taipa is generally organized, though at peak times crowd control can feel chaotic especially during disembarkation, even for first-class passengers. On board, seats are comfortable, cabins clean, and first‑class passengers enjoy small perks like complimentary drinks and a quiet atmosphere . Rough seas can occasionally cause motion sickness, so prepare accordingly

Yes it was a smooth process to travel on the ferry from Macao to Hong Kong. The frequency every 30 minutes is excellent. Before departing we were advised that the crossing would be rough & it was at times just that due to high winds. Ticket inspection & Passport control were very quick. The installations were easy to navigate & were impeccably clean , tidy & well maintained including the toilets. The building is super big so expect to have to walk quite a distance to board the boat. I found the seating in the waiting area which were of light steel to be far too cold. I saw in first class they have cushion's. The other negatives are that upstairs was closed due to the weather & downstairs the windows have salt erosion so yoy can't take a decent photo. There are no toilets either but you get a complimentary sick bag. At Hong King it's equally impressive alighting etc. So overall dedpite a rough crossing it was a pleasant experience. I would definitely repeat.

Nam Van Lake is a popular tourist attraction in Macau, featuring a small boat dock for paddling and rowing against the backdrop of the city skyline. One of its main highlights is the cybernetic water fountain show, which boasts 86 spouts shooting water 80 meters high, making it the largest man-made water fountain in Asia. The beautiful laser show with 288 vibrant spotlights adds to the allure of this destination, attracting travelers from around the world to witness its impressive evening displays.
It's total a man made lake as it did not exist forty years ago. Macau continuously reclaim last from the sea and build on top of it. Condos with sea view today are not guaranteed the view will be there in the future, so buyer beware.

A quick review for Anim'Arte NAM VAN The Anim'Arte NAM VAN is leisure area and plaza that was established by the Macao Government Tourist Office (MGTO) near the end of 2016. Here visitors can rent pedal boats to enjoy on Nam Van Lake, have food & drink at several small eateries such as IFT Cafe that have been established along the plaza and enjoy a handful of local shops offering arts & crafts and items made in Macau. There are always art and sculpture installations at Anim'Arte Nam Van as the area is being put to good use for fostering local arts and culture scene as well. Pedal boat rentals are MOP20 for 30 minutes per-person (two-seaters) and MOP30 for 30 minutes (four-seaters) and are available at Anim'Arte NAM VAN from 11am to 6pm daily. In the end, this is a good effort by MGTO to create more family-friendly activities which can be enjoyed in the Macau peninsula. Its a good place for tourists to stop by if you are spending time in Macau an looking for things to do for your children.

Take a walk around the lake, catch some paddle boating activities or just sit and take in the beauty of Macau from here. It's a lovely spot for families, couples or just for some alone time by the water.

During special occasions like the Lunar New Year, the museum opens its doors to the public for free, allowing residents and students to explore its exhibitions.
Was here June 2024. This is located behind the Ruins of St. Paul, Museum is free to get in. Just look for the stairs to go down. Place is very small. 1 room. Takes just few minutes to walk through.

Free Museum that holds some of religion relic from around the area and abroad. Small museum and should take 15-20 minutes to explored and read.

It is the basement of Ruins of São Paulo it doesn't have anything to say in art; but it is very interesting that how they present these objects in the dept of Ruins of São Paulo's structure.

This small free museum and crypt is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. So many people come within 30 meters of it, but don’t even realize it’s there or don’t want to bother with the stairs, but it’s worth the bother. Great for religious relics as we’ll as interesting (and maybe creepy 💀) photos.

Beautiful place, just wait for the sunset and you will see the amazing view from the balcony of the museum. Streets from San Malo were nice and cool Bring Your buddy to ask for a shot then strike a pose. My 6yo daughter is my personal photographer here :-) you would love the place.

After visiting the Ruins of St. Paul, you can enter the small Crypt and downstairs Museum of Sacred Art. Within the crypt you can see the skeletal remains of Japanese and Vietnamese martyrs but the area is very small so you only spend about one or two minutes here. In the museum gallery area, also downstairs, you can see historical items and paintings from the 16th to 19th century but this collection is quite small, requiring only 10-15 minutes to see everything. Overall, the crypt and small collection in the museum are of moderate interest and probably only worth visiting if you are plan to see the Ruins of St. Paul and are going to be in this area of Macau anyway. If you're not planning to visit the Ruins then no point seeking out this attraction, we'd suggest investing your time elsewhere in Macau.

Casa Garden is a historic 18th-century mansion and park situated in Santo Antonio Square. Originally the residence of Manuel Pereira, a wealthy Portuguese businessman, it later housed the East India Company's Macao offices. Today, it serves as the headquarters for the Oriental Foundation, focusing on local and regional cultural issues and community involvement. The sprawling grounds feature gardens and an art gallery that frequently hosts exhibitions showcasing a blend of Macanese and Portuguese art.
Casa Garden in Macau is an enchanting glimpse into the city’s colonial past, blending Portuguese heritage with Asian influences in an oasis of tranquility. Located near the Protestant Cemetery and St. Anthony’s Church, Casa Garden was originally built in 1770 as the opulent residence of a wealthy Portuguese merchant, Manuel Pereira. Over time, this elegant estate became a key cultural landmark, serving various purposes that have only enriched its storied past. The Garden itself is an exquisite example of traditional Portuguese landscaping, with meticulously maintained lawns, lush greenery, and winding stone paths shaded by ancient banyan trees. Walking through the garden is like stepping back in time; the setting invites quiet reflection, an escape from the bustling city streets. Amidst the greenery, blooming flowers add splashes of color, and the scent of jasmine fills the air, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere that captivates visitors and locals alike. The Casa itself is a graceful, two-story mansion in a neoclassical style, its whitewashed walls, arched windows, and terracotta-tiled roof reflecting the blend of Portuguese and local architectural influences. Inside, the high ceilings and elegant wooden staircases harken back to Macau’s colonial era, offering a reminder of the city’s vibrant mercantile history. Originally a private residence, the building later served as the headquarters for the British East India Company in the 19th century, when Macau was a crucial hub in the East India trade network. During this time, Casa Garden became a center of diplomacy and international business, hosting dignitaries, merchants, and explorers who helped shape Macau’s history as a global crossroads. Today, Casa Garden is home to the Oriental Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting cultural exchange and preserving Macau’s heritage. Art exhibitions, cultural events, and lectures frequently take place within its walls, drawing people from around the world to experience the legacy and beauty of this historic site. Casa Garden’s blend of architectural grace, verdant landscaping, and historical significance creates an enchanting experience for visitors. It’s a place where the past comes alive, where one can imagine the grand parties and significant meetings that once took place under its roof, and where today’s art and culture thrive in a timeless setting.

Casa Garden is one of three World Heritage attractions situated at Camoes Square (Praca Luis de Camoes) north of the famous Ruins of St. Paul. The house at Casa Garden is one of the oldest surviving building in Macau, originally constructed for a wealthy merchant, it was also the former British East India Company office during its past. Until recently, visitors couldn't visit the main building but now there are gallery exhibitions held allowing access at times. Visitors can enter the front gate and walk around the small garden area set before the historic landmark, daily 9.30-6pm. The garden is attractive but not landscaped or maintained as well as the larger Camoes Garden next door. There are Christmas poinsettias lining the staircase to the front of the Casa Garden House presently which are nice. You will also find a small fish pond, surrounded by plants and vegetation, a dated statue of Bernardino Senna Fernandes as well as a newer, small and colourful Chinese deity statue. If sightseeing in the area, you can conveniently stop by to see the gardens in just a few minutes. If there is an exhibition taking place, you might want to take opportunity to enter and explore the historic Casa Garden House as well.

The Garden House was built in 1770, the park was originally the residence of a wealthy Portuguese merchant Manuel Pereira. At a later period, it was rented out to the English East India Company and was used to house the directors of the Macau branch of the company. In 2005, it was officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau. Nowadays it is a cultural centre, which promotes a cross between Portuguese Macau and China.

Place of worship
Tou Tei Temple in Sam Pa Mun is located within a lush, forested garden that was once part of the residence of the Chairman of the British East India Company. The temple is situated on Rua da Ribeira do Patane and can be reached by taking the 26A bus towards Hac Sa Beach. This tranquil setting offers a serene escape from the bustling city, making it an ideal stop for those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature.
Really nice little temple with a long history.
Eugen S — Google review
Tou Tei Temple in Sam Pa Mun is small historic structure located along Rua Coelho do Amaral near Rua do Patane. The temple is just a few minutes southeast of Camões Square north of the Historic City Centre of Macau. This small building has over 300 years of history and is basically an open shrine along the street side. You'll see architecture typical of the Ming Dynasty in the roofing, worship shrine and hanging incense coils. In these manners, Tou Tei Temple in Sam Pa Mun isn't dissimilar to quite a few other temples you can see around Macau. In the end, it is convenient to have a quick look at Tou Tei Temple in Sam Pa Mun if you are making your way between the World Heritage attractions at Camões Square and the Fire Services Museum at Estrado do Repouso. Otherwise, save your Chinese temple visits for more famous and interesting attractions in or nearer to the Historic City Centre.

(Translated by Google) A friend from Macau told me that the nearly 300-year-old Fuk Fu Temple is very efficacious, so I paid my respects and prayed for the safety of my family. Although this temple is small, there are plaques inside the temple that read "Tong Zhan De Ze" and "He Jia Zhan En" erected in the early Qing Dynasty. They were built by residents during the Tongzhi and Guangxu years. (Original) 澳门朋友介绍这已近三百年历史的福德祠非常灵验,于是就拜拜祈求合家平安。这间庙虽小,但庙內却有清初时期立的牌匾"同沾德澤"及"合家沾恩",是同治及光绪年間由居民自置的。
