As a landmark in Macau, Macau Tower combines sightseeing, adventure, culinary delights, and cultural experiences, making it a must-see destination for tourists. The following comprehensive review will help you fully appreciate the unique charm of this "world's tenth tallest free-standing tourist tower."
1. High-altitude Observation: A 360-degree Visual Feast
At 338 meters in height, the Macau Tower's 58th-floor indoor observation deck and 61st-floor outdoor observation gallery offer breathtaking panoramic views of Macau. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows offer unobstructed views of the historic buildings of the Macau Peninsula, the modern casinos of Taipa, the Hengqin skyline of Zhuhai, and the vast expanse of the Pearl River Estuary. On clear days, you can even see the outline of Hong Kong's Lantau Island. The glass floor on the 61st floor offers a thrilling feeling, as if suspended 223 meters in the air—perfect for challenging photos.
2. Extreme Sports: An Adrenaline Rush
As a world-renowned adventure destination, Macau Tower boasts several Guinness World Record-breaking high-altitude attractions:
• AJ Hackett Bungee Jump: 233 meters high, equivalent to a 77-story building. The moment you leap from the platform, the weightlessness of the 17-second free fall blends with the whistling wind, and upon landing, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment, having conquered the world. The package includes a commemorative T-shirt, certificate, and video to capture this unforgettable moment.
• Skywalk: Stroll along the circular path around the 61st floor, experiencing the thrill of walking in the air without the need for ropes. The 360-degree, guardrail-free design offers breathtaking views of Macau. We recommend completing this challenge at sunset to admire the sunset. Buy one get one free with an Air Macau boarding pass in 2025 (retail price: MOP 788).
• Mast Climb: Climb a 100-meter vertical ladder to the top of the tower, a two-hour journey that tests both your strength and courage. Upon reaching the summit, you'll receive a unique certificate and enjoy the best panoramic views of Macau. During the 2025 summer season, individual activities will receive a 300 MOP discount. Each platform features a "mission card" where you can earn points by answering questions to win special prizes.
• SkyJump: Descend vertically at 200 kilometers per hour, controlled by a special device. Perfect for those who want to experience the free fall while extending their time in the air. Enjoy a 10% discount with an Air Macau boarding pass.
3. Dining Experience: A Dance of Flavor and Vision at a Cloud-Top Restaurant
Macau Tower boasts a wealth of dining options, especially the 360° revolving restaurant on the 60th floor:
• Buffet: Lunch features Chinese and Western hot dishes and desserts, while dinner features a seafood feast with freshly opened oysters, lobster, abalone, and other fresh ingredients paired with Portuguese-style grilled meats and cheese platters, catering to every palate. The restaurant rotates once every 90 minutes, allowing you to dine while watching the changing lights of Macau from day to dusk.
• Afternoon Tea: Enjoy an exquisite three-tiered dessert stand paired with freshly ground coffee or champagne. Try the Portuguese egg tarts and macarons for a relaxing experience at high altitude. Some packages include admission to the observation deck.
The Macau Tower is the pearl of Macau, and its height of 338 meters makes it a landmark for the city. Take a glass bullet lift to the sky, and enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Macau. There are also exciting projects such as bungee jumping, which makes people's hearts beat faster, and is a great place to sightseeing and challenge the limits.

After watching the House of Dancing Water, I finally understood why it's a must-see show. The stage equipment is truly amazing, integrating various technologies into the cultural performance. The actors are truly versatile, mastering everything from trapeze and high diving to martial arts, dance, and motorcycle racing. The storytelling is also fantastic, with a blend of fantasy and humor. Absolutely amazing!
A performance that is definitely worth seeing. It is a multi-sensory experience, with actors performing water, road and air performances, combined with modern lighting, motorcycles, acrobatics, etc. Each unit has different highlights, and the one and a half hour performance is full of exciting moments!

No need to pick up a ticket, it's very quick from ticket checking to riding the Ferris wheel! My personal suggestion is to watch it at night if time permits, the night view is beautiful! Pay attention to the business hours and don't miss it!
It's quite good. The Ferris wheel is quite unique. It's between the buildings. Get off at the Lotus Light Rail Station, enter the shopping mall, walk to the end, take the elevator to the 3rd floor, then enter the Ferris wheel ticket area, and take the elevator upstairs to ride the Ferris wheel. It's quite convenient.

You think that City of Dreams only has a Ferris wheel? Yes and no.
The Ferris wheel is in City of Dreams, while City of Dreams has a dancing water stream (although unfortunately, it is not open for the time being due to the epidemic). It upholds the unique characteristics of Macau complexes and is also a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun, and is extremely luxurious.
Here, first-line big brands are arranged in order, and there is no need to queue. There are also many designer brand stores, which are very design-oriented. Even the stores themselves are beautiful. From time to time, a limited luxury car will be parked for you in the atrium of the square to highlight your noble status.
As for eating, the shopping mall is much more friendly. Those stars and pearls are all in the hotel upstairs. The restaurant area on the second floor here, Starbucks, McDonald's, snacks and small snacks occupy a large area. You can come up to rest when you are tired.
Compared with the previous complexes, I personally think that City of Dreams has the strongest sense of design and the best looking.
City of Dreams is located in Taipa, Macau. It is a large-scale comprehensive resort city consisting of 4 five-star hotels and a large high-end shopping mall. The daily large-scale performance of "The House of Dancing Water" is also one of the check-in items.

Super Funny and coollove this water park Recommend you for coming.
I chose Studio City Water Park for an off-peak February trip, and the experience far exceeded my expectations! The biggest advantage was the crowds! There were virtually no lines, and I could enjoy all the popular rides as many times as I wanted. This VIP-style experience truly elevated the experience.
The most stunning attraction was the Infinity Pool, the crowning touch of the park. The water temperature was perfect, and leaning against the edge, it seemed to blend seamlessly into the skyline, revealing the expansive cityscape of Macau. The sense of spaciousness and comfort was indescribable. Quietly watching the sunset or the lights come on from the infinity pool was the most relaxing and photogenic moment of my trip.
When the crowds were smaller, the staff were even more attentive and helpful, making the experience truly enjoyable. If you're looking to enjoy the park and take photos without having to wait in long lines, visiting during off-season on a weekday is highly recommended – it's an incredible value!

The Venetian Macao Resort is a place that makes people linger. It perfectly reproduces the style of Venice, with arch bridges, canals and cobblestone roads full of exotic style. Walking through it, the artificial skylight above simulates the blue sky and white clouds, and the day and night change, just like being in the real streets of Venice. The Grand Canal Shopping Center is full of brands and has an excellent shopping experience. The luxury suites are spacious and comfortable, with all the facilities. There are also wonderful performances, rich food, and exciting entertainment. Take a gondola and listen to the boatman's singing through the canal, and the romantic atmosphere is full. Whether it is a date between lovers, a family trip or a gathering of friends, the Venetian Macao Resort can provide the ultimate holiday enjoyment. It is a dream place that must be checked in when visiting Macau.
到了澳门了，怎么能不到威尼斯人来看一看呢？免费的发财车就可以到，这里室内层高估计有五层楼，天空永远是蓝色，这里有银行的ATM机，一圈都是卖各种品牌的商店，四周充满着金碧辉煌的一种气氛，气温调的不冷不热，池水永远是蓝色，空气中弥漫着酒店特有的香味，只是不知道这里面的水多久换一次。有人花钱买票乘坐里面黑色的的贡多拉游啊游。

TeamLab SuperNature Macao was amazing. I didn’t know what to expect but was excited about an extensive video installation. It turned out to be more interactive than I anticipated. I was very impressed and now I want to visit the teamLab sites in other cities.
I came here without knowing what it was and found out that it was way better than I expected. There are many different ways to discover, and several areas to spend time exploring. Sadly, one of the area is closed for maintenance. I would recommend to stay there 2-3 hours and immerse yourself with the entire environment.

[View] Macau St. Paul is one of Macau's most famous landmarks, integrating the essence of East and West architectural art, with the reputation of "three-dimensional Bible". [Fun] The archway is beautifully carved, with Western elements such as saints, statues of the Virgin, angel reliefs, and eastern elements such as stone lions, Chinese characters and Japanese chrysanthemum carvings, which have high cultural relics and artistic value.
**Travels in Macau: A time-space fantasy through the East and the West**
In early summer 2025, I set foot on Macau, the "pearl of the motherland", and started a fantasy journey of culture, food and adventure in the interweaving of historical relics and modern neon lights.
**Historical imprint: Echoes of the years in the old city**
The first stop is the Ruins of St. Paul's. The front wall of this Baroque church, which has experienced vicissitudes of life, has a new look in 2025. When night falls, the light show reproduces the original appearance of the church with holographic projection. The mottled stone carvings dance with digital light and shadow, as if telling the fusion of Portuguese charm and Lingnan culture in the 16th century. Passing through the colorful graffiti wall of Love Lane and entering the holy treasure house of the Rosary Church, more than 300 Catholic relics and the gilded relief of the altar silently interpret the heavy history of the "Oriental Vatican". Climb up the Guia Fortress, where the first modern lighthouse on the Chinese coast and the murals of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows complement each other, overlooking the panoramic view of the peninsula, where the skylines of the old and new cities collide.
**A feast for the tongue: a taste carnival of market life and luxury**
The soul of Macau is hidden in the fireworks of the streets. There is a long queue in front of Andrew's Bakery on Guanye Street. The freshly baked Portuguese tarts are crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside, and the caramel aroma hits the taste buds directly; the pork chop buns at Dalilaiji, thick-cut pork chops wrapped in crispy bread, paired with a cup of Hon Kee hand-made coffee, instantly wake up the morning. In the evening, move to the Bay Restaurant, where the salty fragrance of Portuguese baked duck rice and the dense cod balls interpret the localization of Portuguese cuisine to the fullest. If you want to experience luxury, the lake view afternoon tea at Wing Lei Palace interprets the exquisite aesthetics of the "food island" with gold foil shrimp dumplings and black truffle siu mai.
**Entertainment secrets: from high altitude limits to virtual fantasy**
Macau Tower is a paradise for adventurers. Standing on the 338-meter-high glass plank road, overlooking the blue waves of the Pearl River Estuary, my heartbeat resonates with the sea breeze; if it's not exciting enough, the VR bungee jumping device takes me to jump into the virtual cloud, and the superposition of technology and adrenaline makes me dizzy. Going to the Venetian, the gondola driver sings Italian folk songs, and the Baroque domes and duty-free shop windows on both sides of the canal interweave into a paradise of consumerism. After nightfall, the upgraded version of "The House of Dancing Water" at City of Dreams is staged, and the audio-visual feast of water curtain blasting and high-altitude stunts draws a magical end to this day.
**Epilogue: The charm of the Macao River in one city with thousands of faces**
Before leaving, I sat alone on the black sand beach of Coloane Island. The waves gently caressed the fine sand, and the neon lights of the Macau Tower on the opposite bank flickered. The diverse faces of this city - the vicissitudes of history, the fireworks of food, and the cutting edge of technology - quietly merged in the sound of the tide. Just like the symbiosis of the ruins of the Ruins of St. Paul's and VR projection, Macau has always been writing a unique legend of "Oriental Monte Carlo" in the tension between tradition and modernity.
**Practical Tips**:
- Transportation: Make good use of the hotel's "Lucky Car" for free shuttle, and walk through the old town to add more charm.
- Avoid the crowds: Visit the Ruins of St. Paul's at 7 am to enjoy the unmanned secret place; Guanye Street has a peak passenger flow in the afternoon, so it is recommended to find food during off-peak hours.
- Technology experience: The AR guided tour of the Macau Museum and the VR church restoration project of the Ruins of St. Paul's make history "alive".
