the first theme park in Macau, is a place you should never miss in your stay in Macau. What more, entrance is FREE. And for this reason you may want to come back again and again.

Time your trip with Macau Festivals, some of the most colorful festivals in Asia.

We have the ultimate guide to all Macau Museums to make that cultural tour. Curios accepted.

Macau Temple
Visit some of the islands more then 40 Macau Temples. More suburban temples rather than distinctive in style, a system of temples hardly seen in the Mainland China, Hong Kong nor Taiwan.

Macau Squares provide that rest and green ambiance and sometimes, food. Comes in big and small squares, plazas and gardens located all over the city.

Discover Macau Heritage and decide for yourself whether we really deserve to belong to the UN heritage sites.

Coloane Island is the southernmost island of Macau, just south of Taipa and Cotai Strip. This is the green oasis of Macau and offers beaches, nature walks, golf, small villages, etc.

You should visit the Macau Tower CEC at least once. This tenth tallest free-standing tower in the world is a popular landmark where you can enjoy an observation deck with panoramic views, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls. Extreme sports enthusiasts can walk around the open outer rim, try bungee jumping, or climb to the mast.
