Before you set out

Planning your Macau visit

A little planning leaves more time for the places you came to see. Choose a manageable route, confirm your transport and check current entry and local access requirements.

Check separate entry formalities

Macau has its own entry arrangements. Confirm the rules for your passport and any onward travel to mainland China or Hong Kong, including the specific crossing and documents.

Plan by neighbourhood

This compact territory still needs transport between the peninsula, Taipa, Cotai and Coloane. Confirm the terminal, hotel entrance and return connection.

Make walking comfortable

Historic lanes, hills, heat and rain affect the day. Choose short loops and breaks, and ask about steps and accessible routes.

Book shows and special visits directly

Confirm current schedules, admission, age rules and cancellation terms with the venue. A resort visit does not require gambling.

Ask the hotel about the location

Confirm rooms, transfers, meals and the actual distance to your meeting point. Public contacts do not establish ATA membership or availability.
