Activities :
Macau is a fascinating destination offering a variety of activities for all types of travelers.
For culture and history lovers, Macau is a veritable living museum with a mixed Chinese and Portuguese heritage, visible through its Baroque churches, Buddhist temples, fortifications and UNESCO World Heritage ruins, such as the Church of St. Paul.
Visitors can explore Macau's Old Town, stroll along the narrow streets of the São Lourenço district and learn about local culture at the Macau Museum.
Fans of gaming and entertainment will find plenty to enjoy at the many casinos and luxury resorts, such as the Venetian Macao, which offers gaming, shows and an unparalleled shopping experience.
Gastronomy:
Macau cuisine is a tasty blend of Portuguese and Chinese flavors.
Macanese specialties include "pastel de nata" (Portuguese custard tart), "dim sum" (small bites served with tea) and "pork chop bun" (grilled pork sandwich), a must-try on Macau's street food.
Food markets, such as Taipa Market and Red Street Market, offer an authentic culinary experience with dishes like "Minchi" (a dish of ground beef with potatoes and vegetables) and "Galinha à Africana" (Portuguese-style chicken).
Fresh seafood and dim sum are also popular.
Climate :
Macau enjoys a subtropical climate with two main seasons: the hot and humid season (May to September) and the drier and cooler season (October to April). The best time to visit is during the autumn and winter (November to February), when temperatures are pleasant, ranging between 15°C and 25°C. During this period, Macau offers cooler days, ideal for exploring the city and its attractions without the stifling heat of summer.
