Prospective travellers should visit the museums in Macau. In addition, if one is a wine or port lover, he should not miss the wine museum, A place which not only exhibit the history of portuguese wine making, it also sells fine portuguese wine and port.
Other than that, tourists should not miss the chance of tasting the portuguese cuisine as well.

-Mezzaluna in the mandarin and Fernandos at Hac Sa are as excellent as ever.
-The new tower is worth a trip up but take a spare pair of underpants.
-The foot massages in the little reflexology shops are good value and relaxing.
-People in Macau are generally more relaxed and friendly than hong kongers. A great place to drift around.
-The protestant cemetery is interesting.

I enjoyed the interesting mix of Chinese and Portuguese culture and architecture. July is perhaps not an ideal time to visit Macau due to the intense heat and high humidity.
Recommended restaurants:
Flamingo's: Excellent Portuguese Resturant at the Hyatt in Taipa
Hotel Lisboa: Dim sum restaurant and Cantonese restaurant on second floor.
Recommended Attraction: Taipa house museum.

Stayed at Westin Resort Macau - Macau, Macau.

The Hac Sa beach was not particularly appealing due to a black sludge on the sand. It was pleasant enough to walk on to go to Fernando's Restaurant but I made a point of keeping clear of the water and the sludge. Macau made for an interesting walking tour if you have got the energy to climb the hills to get to the best view points.

Worth going to the Macau tower, Go-karting and of course Fernando's. Also try the Allorcha restaurant, near the Maritime Museum.

Macau is an ideal weekend break destination (easily accessible from hong kong)with lots of restaurants (Mecanese/Portuguese food a speciality) and good wine and port.
Highly recommended if you like visiting temples and museums and enjoy browsing around furniture shops.

Macau has many interesting museums and the architecture in the old quarter is very European.
Fernando's on the near the Westin was an excellent restaurant.

Macau is slowly being strangled by idiotic and half-arsed developers. The new Macau Tower is as incongrouous as you would expect from a huge concrete ugly sister of Toronto's CN Tower in a lovely quaint colonial backwater. Also some of the other developments have been abandoned leaving that building-site style Chinese cities seem so enamoured with. The food is still good, and the wine cheap and plentiful. The Wine Museum is great if you are an expert on Portugese wine, the Macau Grand Prix Museum is mildly diverting, but the best thing is just to wander the old backstreets, quiet and quite European.

Macau is actually very good for family relaxation holiday, we had great fun and purchased the Museum Plau package at $25.- for 6 museum in five days. Kids are having fun and enjoy Macau both the Museum and the food. Two couple and three kids ( 7 all together) were really happy about our holiday. We'll going again next Chinese New Year, but I'll book much earlier to seek for a better hotel and better package.
