Itinerary

Unveil the Allure of Macao — A City of Contrasts and Culture. Step into a world where centuries-old temples stand proudly beside Baroque churches, and pastel colonial façades line cobbled streets. From the legendary Ruins of St. Paul’s to the lively charm of Senado Square and the spiritual tranquility of A-Ma Temple, Macao effortlessly weaves Chinese heritage with Portuguese flair. Meander through the cultural heart of Taipa Village, where time-honored traditions meet modern creativity, and local delicacies like warm almond cookies and fusion dishes await discovery. As evening descends, Macao transforms into a glowing modern marvel. Soar to new heights at Macau Tower, glide through the elegant canals of the Venetian, and dive into the excitement of the Cotai Strip, known for its dazzling entertainment, upscale dining, and vibrant nightlife. From serene heritage sites to cutting-edge experiences, Macao offers a journey full of unforgettable contrasts and cultural richness.

day 1 - Macao Arrival

Upon arrival in Macao, transfer to your hotel and check in. The rest of the day is yours to soak in the captivating blend of East and West that defines this enchanting city. Begin your stroll in Senado Square, where Portuguese mosaic-tiled streets wind past pastel-hued colonial buildings and Chinese temples — a living testament to Macao’s rich cultural tapestry. Wander toward the iconic Ruins of St. Paul’s, their weathered stone façade standing tall as a symbol of the city’s layered past. Feel the old-world charm melt into modern glamour as you make your way to the Cotai Strip, where world-class resorts and dazzling casinos rise like palaces of light and leisure. If you're in the mood for retail indulgence, explore the elegant Shoppes at Venetian or stroll the canals of The Parisian, where European sophistication meets Asian luxury. When evening falls, follow the scent of buttery pastries to a nearby bakery and try a warm Macanese egg tart, its flaky crust and silky custard telling a sweet story of cultural fusion. For dinner, delve into the city’s unique fusion cuisine, blending Cantonese and Portuguese influences — from African chicken to Minchi — served in cozy tavernas or upscale dining spots with views of the glittering skyline.

Overnight in Macao

Optional: Macau Open Top Bus Night Tour
As the stars twinkle above Macau, Meet 10 minutes before departure at Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal ARRIVAL HALL Tourist Information for a dazzling 50-minute night bus tour through Macau’s glowing cityscape. Glide past Pawnshops Street, where historic shophouses shimmer with nostalgic charm, and admire Wynn Macau’s sparkling fountain show. Pass the neon-lit Hotel Lisboa, its lotus silhouette aglow, and the towering Macau Tower, illuminating the night. Cross the elegant Sai Van Bridge, with twinkling waterfront views, and marvel at Wynn Palace’s golden grandeur. Cruise by The Londoner Macao, evoking London’s charm, and Studio City’s glowing Ferris wheel. End at The Parisian Macao’s twinkling Eiffel Tower or drop off at The Venetian Macao’s radiant canals or Galaxy Macau’s dazzling fountains, leaving you enchanted by Macau’s vibrant night.

Optional: Gondola Ride at The Venetian Macao
Gliding down the canals and past renaissance architecture as a gondolier bellows out traditional Italian tunes – no Venice experience would be complete without a gondola ride! Ok, so it may not be Italy, but you can try out this very Italian experience within the Venetian Hotel right here in Macau! The network of San Luca, Marco Polo and Grand Canals circle within the Venetian Hotel, decorated on either side with impressive facades, quaint bridges and even a cloudy blue sky above you. Your gondolier boat driver, complete with stripy shirt and straw hat, will sing classic melodies as he punts along the canal. Get caught up in the romance of your serenaded ride on an authentic gondola boat and take home a souvenir photograph to remember the occasion!

day 2 - Macao

After breakfast, embark on a captivating day tour through the heart of Macao, where East meets West in a dazzling blend of history, spirituality, and grandeur. Begin at the Ruins of St. Paul’s, the city’s most iconic landmark — a majestic stone façade rising like a theatrical backdrop, etched with intricate carvings that echo both Chinese symbolism and Portuguese artistry. Just steps away, walk along the Old City Wall Ruins, fragments of Macao’s 16th-century fortifications that once shielded this vital trading port. Continue your journey to the elegant Our Lady of the Rosary Church, a serene 16th-century sanctuary adorned with stained glass and a beautiful Baroque altar. Wander through the charming Senado Square, where wave-patterned cobblestones guide your steps past neoclassical buildings, wrought-iron balconies, and colorful facades — an unmistakable echo of Southern Europe, nestled in Asia. Pause for a buffet lunch at the Metropark Hotel, a relaxing interlude to refuel with local and international flavors. In the afternoon, pay your respects at A-Ma Temple, Macao’s oldest and most sacred temple dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu — its incense-swirled pavilions perched above a granite outcrop overlooking the sea, steeped in Taoist tradition. Then head to the Macau Tower for a photo stop, where panoramic views and adrenaline-filled activities await (tower admission not included). Before your final stop, drop by a traditional bakery to pick up some fresh almond cookies — warm, crumbly, and packed with the essence of Macao. Conclude your tour at the lavish Venetian Macao (or, time permitting, the Sands or Galaxy resort), where marble columns, painted ceilings, and meandering canals bring Venetian romance to life in the heart of Asia. Return by 4:00 PM with a deeper appreciation of Macao’s rich contrasts — a city where time-honored temples and colonial legacies gracefully coexist with glamorous resorts and cosmopolitan style.

Overnight in Macao
