Macau Heritage & Entertainment

Arrive at Macau International Airport or Ferry Terminal where you'll be greeted and transferred to your hotel on the Macau Peninsula. Begin your exploration with a comprehensive tour of Macau's UNESCO World Heritage historic center. Visit the iconic Ruins of St. Paul's, the remaining facade of a 17th-century Portuguese church that has become Macau's most recognizable landmark. Explore Monte Fort, built by the Jesuits in the early 17th century as protection against attacks from the sea. Continue to Senado Square with its distinctive wave-patterned Portuguese cobblestones and colonial buildings painted in pastel colors.

Visit the A-Ma Temple, the oldest temple in Macau dating back to 1488, dedicated to the goddess of seafarers and believed to be the origin of Macau's name. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant featuring Macanese cuisine—a unique fusion of Portuguese and Chinese flavors. In the afternoon, tour the Mandarin's House, a traditional Chinese residential complex once owned by prominent Chinese literary figure Zheng Guanying, and visit the Maritime Museum to learn about Macau's seafaring history.

In the evening, ascend the Macau Tower for a panoramic view of the city and the Pearl River Delta at sunset. Optionally, thrill-seekers can experience the world's highest commercial bungy jump or SkyWalk around the tower's outer rim (additional cost). Enjoy dinner at a Portuguese restaurant followed by a stroll through the illuminated streets of the historic district.

After breakfast, check out and transfer to the Cotai Strip, the reclaimed land area between Taipa and Coloane islands that has been transformed into Asia's equivalent of Las Vegas. En route, visit the Taipa Houses Museum, five colonial houses representing the typical residences of Portuguese families living in Macau during the early 20th century, beautifully restored and converted into museums.

Check into your luxury hotel and enjoy some leisure time to explore the magnificent integrated resort. Experience the Venetian Macao with its replica Grand Canal complete with gondola rides, or visit the opulent Parisian Macao featuring a half-scale recreation of the Eiffel Tower. Explore the high-end boutiques, art galleries, and themed shopping areas.

In the afternoon, attend a spectacular performance show such as "The House of Dancing Water" at City of Dreams—an internationally acclaimed water-based performance combining elements of theater, acrobatics, and swimming—or another world-class entertainment option available during your visit. In the evening, enjoy a gourmet dinner at a signature restaurant followed by time to try your luck at one of Macau's glamorous casinos or enjoy the nightlife offerings at the integrated resorts.

Begin your final day with a morning visit to Coloane Village, a charming and relatively untouched fishing community that offers a glimpse of pre-casino Macau. Visit the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier and stroll along the waterfront promenade. Don't miss the opportunity to taste Macau's famous Portuguese egg tarts at Lord Stow's Bakery, the original creator of this beloved local treat.

Continue to the Macau Museum, located inside Monte Fort, for a comprehensive overview of Macau's unique history and cultural blend. Enjoy a farewell lunch featuring traditional Portuguese cuisine. Depending on your departure time, enjoy some last-minute shopping for souvenirs such as almond cookies, Portuguese wines, or Chinese teas before transferring to Macau International Airport or Ferry Terminal for your departure.
