Macau things to do
A-Ma Cultural Village
A-Ma Cultural Village is a large temple complex featuring a massive statue of A-Ma, the goddess of seafarers. It's a stunning place with traditional Chinese architecture, colourful decorations and hanging lanterns. Immerse yourself in the local culture and wander through incense infused temples or visit the museum. Walk up the hill to visit the statue and enjoy panoramic views.
Ruins of St. Paul's
Little remains of this 17th-century Portuguese church other than its ornate facade, but this alone is spectacular enough to earn the recognition of a UNESCO world heritage site. The Ruins of St. Paul's is one of Macau's most iconic landmarks and features Christian carvings incorporating Oriental elements. Climb the staircase behind the facade for beautiful views across Macau.
Cotai Strip
Macau is known as Las Vegas of the east and Cotai Strip is how it earns its nickname. Expect lots of mega-casinos, designer shopping malls and neon lights flickering throughout the night reminiscent of Vegas’ charm. Home to one of the world's largest casinos, it's perhaps time to start thinking of Vegas as the Macau of the west.
Macau Tower
Standing over 1,000 feet tall, Macau Tower provides unforgettable panoramic views and exciting activities. You can watch daredevils climb vertical ladders to the top of the tower, walk outside along the tower’s outer edge or dive from the world's highest bungee jump. Afterwards, you can shop at the designer shopping mall or dine at the rotating restaurant.
Museum of Macau
Fortaleza do Monte or Mount Fortress houses the Museum of Macau. While the fortress is a UNESCO world heritage site, the Museum of Macau is equally impressive. It's spread across three levels and details Macau's fusion of cultures. Displays celebrate the birth of the region as well as modern life and features sections focusing on local arts and traditions.
