Enjoyed the new art gallery in the Cultural Centre and the excellent Maritime Museum. Good Portuguese food at the old standby A'Lorcha (opposite the Maritime Museum). Macau is so small it doesn't make sense to take any other form of transport other than taxis unless on a really tight budget. Taxi drivers friendly and helpful although Cantonese is necessary to communicate with them.

Macua was very interesting, particlularly the old architecture around the museum in the fort and old church but felt a little unsafe around the temple (Maritime Museum area) by the hotel at night. We decided it would be safer to eat at the hotel after walking around for a while (the food in the hotel was excellent and good value for money).

I went to Macau this time basically for personal reasons. After all, I still took the chance to visit the Old Ladies' House and the Macau Museum of Art, both very rewarding.

Stayed at Pousada de Mong-Ha - Macau, Macau.
|
Staff recommended the nearby Hollywood Restaurant. Awesome value, but go hungry as the meals are HUGE! Macau is a great place to just stroll around and enjoy yourself; more low key than Hong Kong. Do go over to Coloane Island to Hac Sa Bay.

Macau is beautiful, and small enough to be explored in a weekend. I spent the first day on the main island, seeing the Ah-ma temple, Penha church, main square, cathedral facade, museum, gardens and Guia fort. Day 2 was then free to explore the villages and sights on Taipa and Coalone. The bus routes are clearly marked and it's a cheap and efficient way to get around.

Macau is very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days there. We had good meals everywhere we ate, and all at good prices. We walked from our hotel to most sites in the main area. Walking the narrow cobblestone streets is very interesting.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Macau - Macau, Macau.
|
A good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. Less people and much more relaxed. If you like Portugese food try the Restaurant A'Lorcha but it is wise to reserve a table as it gets very full.

Taipa Island is very relaxing place and is highly recommended if you ever visit Macau

Stayed at Westin Resort Macau - Macau, Macau.
|
We find the blend of Chinese temples and Portugese style building and facades charming, particularly the paved pedestrianised roads in the city centre.
The shuttle buses from the resort to the city were quite frequent, and one can easily get around by taxis.

Stayed at Holiday Inn Macau - Macau, Macau.

I only walked around Macau, though buses seemed pretty frequent and convenient. The non-gambling sites are located mostly in the center of the city, which are easily within reach by foot from the Casino Lisboa. Two days would be enough to see most of the sites.
