The Parisian Macao Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A Nanny-Level Guide to a One-Day Tour in Macau, This Article Is All You Need!
Essential Preparations: 1. Hong Kong and Macau Travel Permit 2. 150 Macau Patacas 3. One-day Macau data package
About Macau Patacas: You can exchange currency on the right side of the Gongbei Port. The main use of Macau Patacas is for taking the bus, which costs 6 Patacas per ride. Since the smallest denomination we can exchange is 10 Patacas, you can get change at convenience stores in Macau. Most shops in Macau accept WeChat Pay, and only a very few shops accept only Macau Patacas.
About the data package: Open Alipay, change your location to Macau, click the camera icon in the middle at the bottom, then click on 'Overseas Internet' to buy a data package. If you don't watch videos, 1GB for 10 Patacas per day is enough.
About the 'Prosperity Bus': After passing through customs, it's on the right side, starting at 9:30 am. Take it for free to the Grand Lisboa Hotel and start your Macau journey!
Must-visit Attractions:
The Londoner p2-6, The Parisian p7-8, The Venetian p9-11, Rua da Cunha p12, Grand Lisboa Hotel p13, Ruins of St. Paul's p14, St. Dominic's Church p15, Monte Fort p16, Holy House of Mercy p17
Suggested Tour Route:
1. Macau Peninsula:
Grand Lisboa Hotel - Holy House of Mercy - St. Dominic's Church - Ruins of St. Paul's - Monte Fort - Rua da Cunha - MGM Macau
2. Cotai:
MGM Cotai - The Londoner - The Venetian - The Parisian
Grand Lisboa Hotel: The first stop after getting off the 'Prosperity Bus', and a landmark of Macau. A must-visit for successful photo opportunities.
Holy House of Mercy: Located next to the Senado Square, the white Western-style building with a fountain in front is full of atmosphere.
Ruins of St. Paul's: One of Macau's landmark attractions, known for being crowded! The big tree on the right slope is a great place for photos, and if you go up the slope, you'll reach Monte Fort.
Monte Fort: Overlooking the Macau Peninsula, it gives a different impression of Macau.
Rua da Cunha: A popular photo spot with the towering Grand Lisboa Hotel along the street.
MGM Macau: Take the 'Prosperity Bus' for free to MGM Cotai.
The Londoner: The next stop after MGM Cotai. Promise me to stay until evening because you will love the glittering Macau. The garden and corridor in front of The Londoner are great for photos.
The Venetian: The water city is on the third floor to the left after entering The Venetian. The artificial blue sky and the gondoliers rowing slowly on the deep blue water make it feel like you're in Venice. Every photo is beautiful!
The Parisian: The best spot is across the street in the garden of The Parisian, where you see many girls taking photos.
Rua do Cunha: A gathering place for Macau's delicacies, including Lian Coffee, Century Coffee, Rong Ji Beef Offal, Tai Lei Loi Kei, and Longzhou Glutinous Rice Dumplings.
After a day's journey, take the bus to the Border Gate Terminal to leave Macau.
Conclusion: Actually, Macau is not as big as imagined. You can finish touring the Macau Peninsula in the morning if you start at 9 am. However, to capture the glittering Macau at night, I spent the afternoon waiting foolishly, so for those who mainly want to capture the glittering Macau at night, it's advisable to start touring in the afternoon. Following my route, you'll make it in time. Lastly, I wish everyone a pleasant trip!
Life Advice! One must definitely capture these 5 spots when in Macau!
As someone who suffers from severe photo-taking embarrassment,
I surprisingly received a lot of compliments from friends on the photos I took in Macau this time!
I've summarized the photo-taking formula for going out as
Natural + Atmospheric + Don't focus on the face!
With a nice filter, taking good photos really becomes easier!
1️⃣ Ruins of St. Paul's
Ruins of St. Paul's Archway
The iconic Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau, to avoid a crowded shot, you must go at night! Find the steps and flowerbeds at the Ruins of St. Paul's, place the camera low and shoot from above, casually play with your phone or enjoy the scenery, the photos will turn out super natural and beautiful.
2️⃣ Grand Lisboa
Grand Lisboa Hotel
If you're staying on Macau Island, don't miss this spot! It's just a little way inside the alley next to the 7-11 opposite the Grand Emperor Hotel, and you can see the Grand Lisboa. Stand by the roadside looking at or away from the camera, the atmosphere is super strong! I took photos here during the day and at night, and personally, I prefer the night shot.
3️⃣ Eiffel Tower at The Parisian
The best spot is in the park next to The Londoner! The green lawn is really beautiful, and if you're like me with not much expressiveness, just walk back and forth in front of the Eiffel Tower and have a friend snap photos, the more exaggerated the live action, the better.
4️⃣ Wynn Palace
I really love the fountain and cable car at Wynn Palace, and they are super easy to photograph, but there are also super many people!!! My photo-taking embarrassment kicked in instantly... You can find a spot that is slightly facing the hotel, wait for a cable car to pass by, and then face slightly towards the camera, it would be even more beautiful with the fountain (which I didn't wait for 😭).
5️⃣ Macau Museum
Macau Museum
Sisters heading to the fort can mark this spot! The white walls of the Macau Museum are really photogenic, and I think it looks better on rainy days than sunny days, the retro vibe of Macau Island and a black umbrella🌂 are a perfect match!
Macau | Two-day Travel, Eating, and Shopping Guide
An average of twenty thousand steps a day, the streets are perfect for a citywalk in Macau!!
It just so happened to be the Spring Festival holiday, and it was super crowded.
Two days are enough for the Macau Peninsula and Taipa.
🔸Day1 Arrived at the hotel at noon but couldn't check in yet, usually after 3 pm. Stored the luggage and went to the nearby Fisherman's Wharf (picture 2) and had a brief visit to the Sands. It was about time to get the room card.
In the afternoon, took a taxi to Guia Lighthouse (picture 6, the scenery is good both halfway up the hill and at the top) - walked down to Guia Hill Street - Ruins of St. Paul's - Love Lane - Church of St. Dominic - Municipal Affairs Bureau Building (picture 7) - San Ma Lo (many gold shops) - Grand Lisboa - Old Wynn (pictures 14, 15, the Money Tree performance is worth seeing, there's one every hour) - MGM Peninsula
🔸Day2 Set off at noon, took bus 28a from the hotel next to Amizade Road to Rua do Cunha station (6 mop/person, cash only, during the Spring Festival there are route adjustments, got off one stop early) - Rua do Cunha (pictures 9, 10) - Galaxy (has a complete range of jewelry brands, the only hw in Macau is here) - Venetian (picture 17, didn't take the gondola as it was too crowded, mainly trendy brands here) - Four Seasons (also has a good range of luxury brands) - Parisian (picture 34, the stairs next to it are great for photos!!) - Londoner (picture 5) - MGM Cotai - Wynn Palace (pictures 1, 12, 13, the fountain show is stunning, changes with the music)
Because I had to go back to Galaxy to use the consumption voucher, I finally took the light rail from Cotai East Station to Pai Kok Station, just in time to see the beautiful night view of Macau again🌃
🔹tips: 1. You don't need to exchange too much cash, besides taking the bus and some snack shops, you can mostly pay with your phone 🎲 exchanged with Hong Kong dollars.
2. If you're buying souvenirs, there's no need to buy them too early. There are shops not only at attractions but also in many other places, otherwise, you'll have to carry them around which is inconvenient.
3. The Four Seasons, Venetian, Parisian, and Londoner hotels all have corridors that interconnect, pay attention to the signs or ask the staff.
4. There's no need to queue at very popular shops; there are many authentic snack shops, make sure to leave time to go where you want.
5. For accommodation, it's recommended to stay near a major location. I was going to HK later, so I stayed near the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal. There are free shuttle bus stops at various hotels that you can take. On the last night, I took the shuttle bus from Galaxy to the ferry terminal and walked 5 minutes to the hotel.
Great food, shopping, and sightseeing, will come again!!

Macau Travel | Avoid the crowd and take big shots
I've been back to Macau for a week now
Can't delay the photo guide anymore
Coming to Macau 🇲🇴 People can take pictures like this in the sea of people
Avoid the crowd from different angles
1⃣️【Ruins of St. Paul】
There are too many people in the square in front of the archway. You can go to the flower base stone steps next to the archway. The low-angle upward shot can avoid the crowd and integrate with the Ruins of St. Paul
2⃣️【Love Lane】: Stand or sit on the stone steps, the Ruins of St. Paul are all background walls, and the colorful Portuguese buildings are also good to shoot
4⃣️【UNIQLO】: It can be said that it is the most beautiful UNIQLO in Macau. You can take pictures of the Ruins of St. Paul from the oil painting frame glass window on the second floor. There are too many people and you have to queue up. I didn't go to shoot
5⃣️Go up the small hill on the right side of the archway, next to the big tree in the Fort Park, there are few people, and it's not bad to take a photo with the side view of the Ruins of St. Paul
If you are going to Macau for the first time, you must go to these must-play list!
Every month, Mangtao, who goes to Macau once a month, recommends these super fun must-play lists to everyone!

Macau Reverse Travel 1-Day Route
Hello everyone! I'm Little Fat Duck!
Departing from Shenzhen, weekend outing! This time I came to Macau!
After checking a lot of travel guides, I originally planned to take the Gongbei Port 1-day route, and stayed in Zhuhai the night before to check out the port. I found that there were a lot of people and cars, and I was worried that it would be too congested when I came back the next night😱. So we changed our plan temporarily and smoothly passed the Hengqin Port!
🗺️Route:
Hengqin Port→Take a car to Venetian→Londoner→Parisian→MGM Macau→Take a car to MGM Golden Temple→Grand Lisboa→Rua do Guia (National Geographic version)→Ruins of St. Paul→Mingji Beef Offal Food→Nam Van Lake Square (watch the sunset)→Wynn Macau Hotel→Take a car to Wynn Palace→Studio City Macau→Take a taxi to Hengqin Port (cost 33)
⚠️Bus strategy
❗Be flexible: Other guides say that you need to take a bus from Taipa to Macau Peninsula to start playing at Grand Lisboa, but in fact, you can take MGM and Wynn to get there, and the drop-off point is not far from Grand Lisboa~ You can take whichever bus comes, saving waiting time~
❗Departure time: The earliest at Hengqin Port is the Venetian 8:55 shift; the latest is Studio City 19:45, try to catch up, taxis sometimes don't stop when you wave~
❗Boarding location: One is that the map navigation can search it out, but some underground will be dizzy, the second is that there are boarding signs at the entertainment venues. The third is to ask the staff~
🌆Attractions introduction:
1️⃣Venetian, Londoner, Parisian
The interior decoration of the Venetian is more distinctive, and the other two look better outdoors! It's nice to take pictures of the Londoner in the Venetian, and the Parisian in the Londoner (haha nesting). It's nice to take pictures in the morning when there are fewer people, and it's more suitable for night scenes at night.
2️⃣MGM Macau
Mainly to drink milk tea and take a car, the pearls in the milk tea are delicious!
3️⃣Grand Lisboa
Check in the same location, there are many eye-opening collections inside the Grand Lisboa, it is recommended to take a look!
4️⃣Rua do Guia
The navigation route from Grand Lisboa is a street next door with an elevator!! No need to climb the slope! In addition to the National Geographic version, other alleys are also very distinctive! U-shaped street, very three-dimensional!
5️⃣Ruins of St. Paul
There are a lot of people, there are historical introductions nearby to understand the history of ancient buildings. There are many shops selling beef jerky on this street, and some actively give you a taste~
6️⃣Mingji Beef Offal Food
A small stall that opens at 5 o'clock, with price points of 50 and 100, it seems to be braised with spicy coffee, delicious and distinctive!
7️⃣Nam Van Lake Square
There is a lake view here, very open, you can watch the sunset and the Macau Tower on the opposite side!
8️⃣Wynn Macau
Small music fountain performance, there will be fire spraying in the middle. We missed the Fortune Tree performance and didn't see it!
9️⃣Wynn Palace
Free cable car and music fountain performance
🔟Studio City Macau
🎈Summary:
1 day tour is not enough!!!

Rua do Cunha: A gathering place for Macau's delicacies, including Lian Coffee, Century Coffee, Rong Ji Beef Offal, Tai Lei Loi Kei, and Longzhou Glutinous Rice Dumplings.
After a day's journey, take the bus to the Border Gate Terminal to leave Macau.
Conclusion: Actually, Macau is not as big as imagined. You can finish touring the Macau Peninsula in the morning if you start at 9 am. However, to capture the glittering Macau at night, I spent the afternoon waiting foolishly, so for those who mainly want to capture the glittering Macau at night, it's advisable to start touring in the afternoon. Following my route, you'll make it in time. Lastly, I wish everyone a pleasant trip!
Macau | Two-day Travel, Eating, and Shopping Guide
An average of twenty thousand steps a day, the streets are perfect for a citywalk in Macau!!
It just so happened to be the Spring Festival holiday, and it was super crowded.
Two days are enough for the Macau Peninsula and Taipa.
🔸Day1 Arrived at the hotel at noon but couldn't check in yet, usually after 3 pm. Stored the luggage and went to the nearby Fisherman's Wharf (picture 2) and had a brief visit to the Sands. It was about time to get the room card.
In the afternoon, took a taxi to Guia Lighthouse (picture 6, the scenery is good both halfway up the hill and at the top) - walked down to Guia Hill Street - Ruins of St. Paul's - Love Lane - Church of St. Dominic - Municipal Affairs Bureau Building (picture 7) - San Ma Lo (many gold shops) - Grand Lisboa - Old Wynn (pictures 14, 15, the Money Tree performance is worth seeing, there's one every hour) - MGM Peninsula
🔸Day2 Set off at noon, took bus 28a from the hotel next to Amizade Road to Rua do Cunha station (6 mop/person, cash only, during the Spring Festival there are route adjustments, got off one stop early) - Rua do Cunha (pictures 9, 10) - Galaxy (has a complete range of jewelry brands, the only hw in Macau is here) - Venetian (picture 17, didn't take the gondola as it was too crowded, mainly trendy brands here) - Four Seasons (also has a good range of luxury brands) - Parisian (picture 34, the stairs next to it are great for photos!!) - Londoner (picture 5) - MGM Cotai - Wynn Palace (pictures 1, 12, 13, the fountain show is stunning, changes with the music)
Because I had to go back to Galaxy to use the consumption voucher, I finally took the light rail from Cotai East Station to Pai Kok Station, just in time to see the beautiful night view of Macau again🌃
🔹tips: 1. You don't need to exchange too much cash, besides taking the bus and some snack shops, you can mostly pay with your phone 🎲 exchanged with Hong Kong dollars.
2. If you're buying souvenirs, there's no need to buy them too early. There are shops not only at attractions but also in many other places, otherwise, you'll have to carry them around which is inconvenient.
3. The Four Seasons, Venetian, Parisian, and Londoner hotels all have corridors that interconnect, pay attention to the signs or ask the staff.
4. There's no need to queue at very popular shops; there are many authentic snack shops, make sure to leave time to go where you want.
5. For accommodation, it's recommended to stay near a major location. I was going to HK later, so I stayed near the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal. There are free shuttle bus stops at various hotels that you can take. On the last night, I took the shuttle bus from Galaxy to the ferry terminal and walked 5 minutes to the hotel.
Great food, shopping, and sightseeing, will come again!!

The night view of Londoner in Macau is really too good to take pictures🥰
It's the beautiful sister who breaks the wind and waves, right?😜
💙The three people series in Macau have their own styles
😏But I really love Londoner

👉🏻Here incorporates too many British elements
👉🏻Red double-decker bus, newsstand, black taxi and guards......
To be honest
When you get to Londoner
You really don't have to bother to find a location🤣
👉🏻Don't look at the location strategy and shooting posture
👉🏻Just take a few steps at the door
Let your bestie or lover take a snapshot
No one has waste shots (I don't, you don't, she doesn't)🤣
U KNOW❗❗❗
This is probably the unique magic of Londoner😎😎
If you come alone
No problem at all❗❗❗
Just find a beautiful girl who is taking pictures at the door🤳
Everyone helps each other to take pictures (don't be socially anxious when you come out to play)🥰
🇬🇧About Londoner🇬🇧
👉🏻It is a large-scale luxury hotel in Macau. The exterior wall is designed based on Westminster Palace and the Houses of Parliament. If the Venetian has gondola canals, the Parisian has the Eiffel Tower, then the landmark of Londoner in Macau is the Big Ben🚎
👉🏻The original British design and exquisite taste style, here is full of luxury charm🎊
👉🏻Manchester United Football Club once stayed in Londoner in Macau before its opening🥂

📸Explore Macau Tower📸
The Macau Tower is a 338-meter-tall tower that offers stunning views of Macau and the surrounding area. It is a popular tourist attraction, and it is a great place to get a bird's-eye view of the city.
🌟 The tower has several attractions, including a viewing platform, bungee jumping, a restaurant, and a skywalk. The viewing platform offers panoramic views of Macau, and it is a great place to take photos. ✅The skywalk is a thrilling experience, as it allows you to walk around the outside of the tower on a glass floor. We started by visiting the viewing platform, and we were all amazed by the views. We could see all of Macau.
🔝 would definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting Macau
