Hi, this is the first time we are visiting the Macau, we have 9 adults, 1 teenage (3 more weeks will be 18 yrs old)and 1 child (4 yrs old) and have only 1 day in Macau for sight seeing, hence our time is very limited. Do you think we have enough time to visit all the following places?

1)Fisherman's Wharf, is it worth visiting? What can we see and do inside the
Fisherman's Wharf?
2)St Paul ruins, is there any buses to go there from one of the casinos or
ferry teminal?
3)Is Leal Senado Square a Shopping Plaza? How to get there from St Paul
ruins? Can we bargain at this shopping complex? Is the things cheaper than
Hong Kong? What time does it open?
4)Casino, which casino should we visit? Too many casinos, not possible to visit
all. Can my teenage girl enter the casino?
5)What time is the last ferry from Macau to Hong Kong Island?

So many questions, right! Can't help it, 1st time to Macau, completely no idea about Macau? I feel that real travellers can give me a better picture and information. Sometimes, the travellers can even provide me with extra information than I expected.

Thanks in advance for the time taken!

Hi,

Does anyone know what time is the last ferry leaving from Macau to Hong Kong or to Tsim Sha Tsui? Is it advisable to go to Macau on Sunday morning? Will it get stuck at the customs? Do we need to pay any tax at the customs? How much is the ferry tickets for 1 way and 2 ways?

Thank You So Much!

Hello, I'll be in Macau on May 24-27. I prefer to pack light, but i'm not sure what the weather's gonna be like at that time. Suggestion, tips, anyone? Thanks!

Two questions for anyone who has been to Macau recently.

How long should I allow for a taxi trip between the Venetian Resort and the ferry terminal probably in the early evening?

Is there a ferry service other the usual ones (turbojet etc) near the hotel? I think I read something about this on the hotel website.

I'm planning to go to Macau alone for 3-5 days. I have not been to Macau before and would like to explore the place. Anyone has good intinerary or must-see spot to suggest? Kindly suggest a clean and safe hostel which has good location. By the way, is it safe for a lady to travel alone there?

Where in Tsim Sha Tsui can we ride the First Ferry to Macau? how do we get there from the TST MTR? What bus? or is it okay to walk from the MTR?

Or if we travel the Turbojet from Shun Tak in Sheung Wan, how do we get there from the Sheung Wan MTR?

I hope you can help me. Thanks a lot

Where in Tsim Sha Tsui can we ride the ferry to Macau? how do we get there from the TST MTR? What bus? or is it okay to walk from the MTR?

My friends and I are planning to go on a day tour trip to Macau and the Venetian Macau Casino in Taipa. Is going to the Venetian Casino for free and take the shuttle bus from Sands free? can we go inside and take pictures?

We are going back to Hongkong in the evening.

I hope someone out there can help me.

thanks a lot!

Could anyone advise me if any Macau Hotels have a quad sharing room?

Is it possible for me to book hotels with 2 double beds and 4 adults stay in the room?

If its not official, how about the other 2 sneaking in after our check in? Do they check?

Thanks for all replied in advance!

Hi,

I would like to go on a one day trip to Macau. A visit to venetian casino and some places of interest. Would like to go over to zhuhai for shopping. May i know do i have enough time for the intended journey? And oso, do i need to buy the turbo jet ferry ticket in advance first? Is it advisable to book a hotel? if so, any recommendation for a budget stay?

Thanks!

Is there a public bus I can take once I cross the border? I would like to take the bus into the town centre (meaning the place to do shopping and dining).

I will be arriving at Macau Airport at about 1pm then need to take Turbojet to Hong Kong and check-in hotel. I would like to take this opportunity to spend some time in Macau but my time will be very limited and I'm not going to stay in Macau.

Please advise is it possible to go to The Venetian & sightseeing with trolley bag straight from the airport. Can I enter the casino ? Or any other places to recommend. I will have to leave for Hong Kong before the working rush hour.

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks

Will be in Macau next week for a couple of nights. As I don't gamble, is there anything else worth going to in the evening besides the casinos? Sure there are restos, but what do you do after dinner? The nightlife tips for Macau do not say much. Thanks for your comments.

We are travelling to hong kong in june and are booked to stay at Langham Place, we have also arranged a 1 night stay in Macau at the Grand Emporer which happens to be the night of my 40th birthday. I am after suggestions as to what to do on this night? Any ideas on restaurants or shows etc, am after something special! Many thanks in advance!

Hi all, Venetian is having a ladies night from Wednesday 8pm every Wednesday till 1am if you print out this free coupon on the bottom right of www.macau.com
I went last week and the band quite good, and the booze better.
Anyone have any other advice on where to party in Macau other than D2?

From Hong Kong airport, how could one goes to Macau without going into Hong Kong or Kowloon city. Any direct transportation ( not helicoptor )from HKG airport ?

Hello Ope everyone's doin great... We just need your help, coz we might drop by Macau next month just wondering what we can do there.... I just have some questions....

1. What bus should we take from the (a)Airport to the St. Augustine Church -> how many hours/mins and how much (b)from the St. Augustine Church to the Macau tower and back (c) St. Augustine Church to the Pier goin' to Hong Kong.

- Are there free shuttles at the airport?

2. Anyone tried the bungy jump offered at the Macau Tower? Is the sky jump (which is way cheaper) worth it?

3. What can we do in Macau after 8PM - any place we can visit aside from the Casinos and Bars.

4. Can we stroll at the Senado Square at around 6am? and what time does the coffee houses or restaurants open (Any recommendations?).

5. Is it worth it to visit Coloane? what are the attractions there?

6. Where is the cheapest place in Macau to buy food... we might be tryin' out the Buffet in either the Venetian or the tower... after that we might go broke haha.

7. How can we get to the Venetian from the TurboJet terminal or the Senedo Park... Is the shuttles really free... or should we be staying at the Venetian to be able to avail of that?

We appreciate all the HELP we can get, ope I can be of help to you guys the next time around...

Thanks,

Xtian

How much?

Hi,
I'd like to know is there anything nice at the Hac Sa beach area?
Going to Macau oin 3rd week of March - have been there 2 times. So should be ok with the city area. Only need to find out is Hac Sa worth a visit.

Thanks. =)

need some info from you guys..going to macau in sept

accommodation is either at Penha Area (nr Riviera/Ritz Hotel) or Guia (Guia Hills). Can i know in terms of public transportation (bus or taxi) which area is better off? TQ!

Hi, I understand that from Guia hill top, we need to walk a series of steps and pathways to the Chapel of Our Lady of Guia and Lighthouse as well as Flora Garden. We are bringing along our 20 months old boy and his pram (buggy). Are there many steps and sloops down from hill top to these places? Is the walking journey suitable for parents like us with a toddler, baby bag and his pram?

Alternatively, we are thinking of going to Macau tower to have a good view of Macau island. To view Macau, is it better to go up to Guia hill or the Macau tower?

Hi VTers, I will be spending 1 night in macau before heading to hong kong for 5 night. Could anyone recommend us any reasonable priced hotel that has/ closed to any reputable casinos worth seeing?

I have the intention to book Metropark Macau, ex-Grandeur. How is it in terms of location and rooms?

How do I get to Macau from Hong Kong Airport? Macau will be our first stop for a 6 nights Macau/HKG trip.

Thanks in advance!
