What to see in Macau

Macau is a city of contrasts and unique history, where Chinese tradition and Portuguese architecture combine. A former colony, now a special administrative region of China, Macau impresses with dense urban fabric, narrow streets, bright facades and gambling atmosphere of the casino. Here, each street keeps traces of sea trade, religious traditions and cultural mixing, making the walk lively and rich.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of the city tell this story clearly: the Casa Garden (Casa Garden) is a small historical square on the peninsula, created in the XVIII century, the Fortress of Guia (Guia) is an ancient military fortress at the monastery of St. Lazarus, and Fortaleza do Monte was built at the beginning of the XVII century and still towers over the old city. The A-Ma Temple, built in the late fifteenth century, is considered the oldest in Macau, and the ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral remain a symbol of European heritage in Asia. Also worth seeing is St. Joseph’s Church, Senado Square with characteristic paving stones, Macau Tower with panoramic views and the University of Macau as a modern urban landmark. Small sanctuaries like the Na Tcha temple and many museums complement the architectural mosaic of the city.

Natural attractions and places

The natural corners of Macau and its surroundings are no less charming: coastal promenades and views of the harbor create pleasant routes for walking, and city squares and green areas invite a break from the city bustle. The southern part of the peninsula, where the temple A-Ma is located, opens the sea horizons, and walks along the shore allow you to feel the connection of the city with the sea. Even in compact Macau, it is easy to find quiet corners for leisurely measuring time and photos against the backdrop of old walls and modern high-rises.
