Crowded but well maintained

Even if you had seen the names of the roads written in Portuguese you feel the influence as we go around the area. The architecture, churches and the cobbled roads provide a old time feeling. Only issue is the sheer crowd :( and it appears...More

Nice place to spend the afternoon

I enjoyed walking around the historic centre and seeing the different buildings with Portugese influence. Very nostalgic feels. There's no entrance fee in the area and there are street food and restos everywhere...

A good day trip but no more....

Almost identical to Lisbon in parts (Obviously because it was a former Portugese colony). Perfect for a day from Hong Kong. Some interesting buildings and places to eat, but that's really about it! We spent the morning at the casinos on Cotai strip and the...More

Macau disappointed me somehow, I was reading a little bit about the history of Macau and expected much more than I saw. Make sure you take a walk in the small streets around. I enjoyed to explore the city on this way much more. The...More

I would like to visit The Historical center of Macau for one evening but my husband uses a wheelchair. Is this a practical option? Would appreciate your advice.

Hi, The sites of the Central Macau are cobble stoned so may not be practical. It is flat for some of the way then there is a steep hill to the Church ruins. Plus it is very crowded. I would not recommend the visit
