Casinos were one thing I had never been in so one of our stops was Sands - which was amazing to see. After a fantastic buffet at 360 degrees cafe at the top of the Macau Tower we decided to try Skywalk X, which was incredibly scary but exciting. Another important stop was the go-karting, which my partner got groundbreaking thrills from! All in all an excellent combination of action and relaxation!

Be aware that the entire island is under construction. Good restaurants include: Dom Galos, Pizzaria Toscana, and La Rocha near the maritime museum.
The best way to get around is by taxi. It is really cheap and fast. You will rarely pay more than 15 HKD.

Macau is a convenient getaway location from Hong Kong. It has a strong nostalgic feel from its colonial past. There are turbojet ferries running every hour between Hong Kong and Macau 24 hours a day. The ride only takes 70 minutes and costs about HK$145 one way.

Can easily visit all the famous attractions along the tourist trail walk downtown in a day. If you are lucky, you may also get free professional tour guide service from one of the local student tour guides. They usually hang around the fountain area near the city centre.
Local transportation: excellent public bus service throughout Macau. Majority of the routes cost you only $2.50 patacas per trip. You can almost vist all of the tourist attractions on foot or by bus.
Food: Excellent international varieties can be found in the different eateries. I wouldn't even try listing the places I like here because they are just too numerous. If you have the time in the evening. I suggest that you can spend some time walking around the local areas and experience the night life of the locals, sampling some of the delicious tibits and local delicacies along the way. When it gets late, you can still catch the last hotel shuttle at the pier at midnight, or worse come to worse, let the taxi diver takes you back!

My husband commented that Macau was bigger than when he last visited some 8 years ago - quite literally, because of the immense amount of land reclamation that has been going on. We loved the Largo de Senado, but were sad to see that some of its old world charm was spoilt by the takeover of big time shopping options. We highly recommend climbing the Guia Hill to the lighthouse and fortress, especially via the gardens where a variety of animals and plants can be seen away from the hubbub of the city.
Our tip - walk as often as you can but get a good and detailed map of the city. It's amazing how long you can spend completely disoriented in a tiny alley in a place this small. We also had a fun meal on Taipa. The Portuguese food is fabulous!

Macau is very interesting city. A wonderful mix of Europe and Asia - must been seen to understand how this fits together in such a unique way. We ate at Herni`s Galley near the waterfront for wonderful Macanese food. Food in general, Pourtugese, Macanese and Chinese were all excellent wherever we went. Shopping was great - especialy for clothing items - well priced and good quality in general. Communication wasn`t a problem - there were usually key people in each location (sights, hotels, restaurants, shops) that knew English. Macau is a great destination for those interested in architecture, history or for those interested in seeing a very unique place.

We went to Hac Sa Beach in Cologne and it was fun for kids. The Portugese restaurant Fernandos appear to be very popular - the waiting time is 3 hours+ and we didn't bother to wait. We tried the one across the street (Hac Sa Beach restaurant) and they are quite good too. One interesting thing about eating in Portugese restaurant is that you not only taste the food, you also experience the relaxed (and sometimes disorganized) European atmosphere. The experience is cool.
We also visited the Macau Tower. The view from up there is very good and we enjoyed the visit. They have a family ticket package for $140 (2 adult + 1 child) and that was a bonus. The Pork Chop Bun sold at the bottom of tower outside the convention center was very yummy.

We came to Macau for the Portuguese architecture and history, which we enjoyed by strolling around. We enjoyed our lunch at the Military Club on Avenida de Praia Grande 795, the African chicken at the very popular La Litoral on Rua de Almirante Sergion restaurant and morning coffee, croissant and egg tarts at Margaret's Café e Nata near Lou Lim Leao Chinese Garden.

The weather in Macau was wet for the entire week, which is why Macau has so many casinos. Good restaurants to try: A L'Orcha and Solymar.
