How to Plan a 1-Day Trip from Hong Kong to Macau

Just an hour away, but quite different from Hong Kong, is Macau : the mega-resort and casino center that also has interesting historical sights.

It is popular to travel from Hong Kong to Macau. In this article, you will find out how to travel to Macau from Hong Kong and what to see in Macau.

How to Get from Hong Kong to Macau

From Hong Kong to Macau, there are three modes of transportation: sea, land, and air. We suggest that you travel to Macau by ferry, which is the most convenient and economical.

By ferry (most recommended): It takes about 1 hour by boat from Hong Kong to Macau. The one-way fare is about 170KD. The fare for night ferries or holidays will be slightly more expensive.

By bridge (a new and comfortable way): Take the bus over the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge from Hong Kong port to Macau in just 40 minutes.

By helicopter (the coolest): It takes only 15 minutes to take a direct flight from Hong Kong to Macau, however the price is 4,300 HKD one way.

Hong Kong to Macau by Ferry

Hong kong ferry terminals.

1. Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal (preferred, most frequent ferries)

Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal is near the IFC Towers in the Shun Tak Centre on Hong Kong Island. You can take the subway and get off at Shueng Wan Station. During the daytime, there is a boat every 15 minutes.

2. China Ferry Terminal (recommended, good location)

China Ferry Terminal is in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is about a kilometer north of the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry. You could walk to it through Harbour City Mall, or just take a taxi to 33 Canton Road.

3. Sky Pier at the Hong Kong International Airport (for transiting tourists only)

The terminal is located next to the Hong Kong airport. If you plan to take a boat directly from Hong Kong airport to Macau, you can choose to depart from this terminal.

4. Tuen Mun Ferry Terminal (Generally not recommended, inconvenient location)

This terminal is located in the New Territories, which is not popular for tourists. There are less than 10 ferries traveling between Hong Kong and Macau every day. This terminal is only practical if you are staying nearby.

Macau Ferry Terminals

It doesn't matter which port to go to Macau because Macau is not big. No matter which terminal you arrive at, there are free shuttle buses that can deliver you to any hotel or casino.

1. Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal (close to downtown Macau)

Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal, also known as the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, is the main northern terminal closest to San Ma Lo, architectural attractions, and about 23 mainly smaller casinos.

You can take Bus 3 from San Ma Lo to the Macau Ferry Terminal in about 10 minutes for 2.5 HKD.

2. Taipa Terminal (close to casinos, hotels, airports)

Taipa Terminal is to the south, closest to the Cotai Strip area with the biggest casinos such as the Venetian, the City of Dreams across the street, and the Macau International Airport.

To go to the Taipa Terminal, take the Cotai Jet from any of the three Hong Kong terminals. There are late night returns (at 1 AM) from the Cotai Terminal to the Hong Kong Macau Terminal.

Ferry Tickets: Costs and Where to Buy Them

Ferry prices are higher in the evening and highest at night, and higher at weekends and holidays.

For economy class, the prices are from 171 to 211 HKD for a single trip.
For superior/first class, the prices are from 346 to 391 HKD for a single trip.

You can buy ferry tickets at every ferry terminal as well as online. Usually, it is no problem to buy tickets on the spot except on some festival days. If you would like to skip long lines, you'd better arrive early or buy tickets online.

Getting from Hong Kong to Macau by Bridge

The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge, the longest sea-crossing in the world, connects the cities of Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau. This crossing is open 24 hours.

There are shuttle buses going from Hong Kong to Macau at all hours, they cost 65 HKD normally (70 HKD at night: 12-6 AM). The buses take around 45 minutes.

In Hong Kong, there are direct shuttle buses starting from Hong Kong Airport, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central to Macau via the bridge.

Planning a Macau Day Trip

Macau's main draw for tourists are the big casinos and hotels. It is the new gambling resort capital of the world with 5 of the world's 10 largest casino resorts. But there are also old Portuguese sites to see. UNESCO World Heritage sites San Ma Lo and Guia Fortress are popular with tourists. See the Top 6 Things to Do in Macau .

The St. Paul's Ruins

The ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral , which was built in 1580, are now the most representative landmark in Macau. They combine the style of European Renaissance and Oriental architecture, reflecting a blend of Eastern and Western culture.

Monte Fortress

Monte Fortress was built in 1627. The fortress, and the Macau Museum in it, is probably the best place to go to learn about Macau's history and culture. Museum tickets cost 15 HKD.

Senado Square

Until 1999 Macau was a Portuguese colony. Senado Square was an old Portuguese square. Old pastel colored buildings line the sides, and a church is at the back. It and about 20 other old buildings and forts are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Walking around the square, you will feel like you are in Europe, with such a beautiful view and ambience. You can see so many shops selling Macau snacks like Portuguese egg tarts, puddings, and pork sandwiches.

The A-Ma Temple

The A-Ma Temple is a symbol of Macau's Mazu culture. With a history of over 500 years, it is one of the oldest temples in the city as well as a World Heritage attraction.

The A-Ma Temple was one of the first places the Portuguese saw when they arrived in 14th and 15th centuries and it still functions as a spiritual beacon in Macau.

The Venetian Macao

The Venetian Macao is a super large resort with the theme of Venetian waters, with 3,000 luxury suites, more than 30 restaurants, more than 330 retail stores, 4 outdoor swimming pools, and an 18-hole rooftop golf course. It is one of the largest casinos in the world, with no less than 640 gaming tables and 1,760 slot machines.

At the same time, it is also a must-see for tourists and one of the most well-known places in Macau.

Grand Lisboa

The building of the Grand Lisboa is like a giant golden lotus flower. It is the landmark of Macau and is very eye-catching. There are not only luxurious suites, but also Michelin restaurants, outdoor pools, and spas.

Wynn Palace

It is owned by the world gambling king, Alan Wynn. It is said that this resort costed 4 billion USD and attracts a lot of tourists not only for its luxurious outside, but even the decoration inside.

Getting to the casinos in Macau is easy. Free casino buses line up at both ferry terminals, and pretty women representing their hotels and casinos stand and hand out coupons and information. Just get on the bus you want for free. You can easily get lost in the biggest casinos eating, shopping, and seeing the shows.

If you have two days in Macau, check How to Get the Most out of Macau in 2 Days .

More Things You Should Know

1. Most nationalities don't need a visa to travel to Macau. You'll need your passport to travel between Hong Kong and Macau. Foreign tourists to Hong Kong generally have no problem entering Macau with a free short-term stamp on their passport. Check whether you need a visa or not .

2. Hong Kong dollars can be used in Macau. You don't need to exchange them.

3. If you easily get seasick on ferries, take some medicine or use seasickness band. It takes about one hour by ferry at a speed of 35-50 knots.

1 Day Macau Itinerary – A Day Trip From Hong Kong

Last Updated February 21, 2023 William Tang

You are here: Home » Travel Itineraries » 1 Day Macau Itinerary – A Day Trip From Hong Kong

Macau is an awesome one day trip from Hong Kong that’s only a 55 minute boat ride away. It’s a completely different vibe from the big city of Hong Kong. Think of Macau as Asia’s version of Vegas but with old town Portuguese flare mixed around it.

If you’re like most travellers, you’re going to be based in Hong Kong but want the chance to explore Macau (also referred to as Macao) so I’ve put together the perfect one day Macau itinerary.

A little bit about Macau

everything you need to see and do in this one day macau itinerary

Macau is one of the two Special Administrative Regions of China and is bordered on the province of Guangdong. There’s nothing that connects Hong Kong to Macau so a ferry is necessary although all that will change when they complete the bridge that will link the two cities.

Colonial Portugal meet the bright lights and casinos of Asia

What makes Macau unique is that it was former Portuguese colony and administered by Portugal from the mid-16th century until late 1999, similar to how Hong Kong was administered by the United Kingdom.

However what once was a sleepy colonial city has now ballooned to become Asia’s gambling capital. The one thing that stuck out from my visit was just how many casinos there were. Huge themed casinos dominate the skyline now with each newer one outdoing the previous new kid on the block.

What to do in Macau in one day without staying overnight

The 1 day macau itinerary, what we missed, recommended activities, things to know before you go, useful addresses, affordable downtown, best casino hotel, macau in photos, final thoughts.

old portuguese style houses and lamp post as seen in the 1 day macau itinerary

If you’re in Hong Kong for more than 3 days, you probably have time to do a trip to Macau to mix it up so to speak.

For us, we never had a fixed date we wanted to do Macau. At one point we had also considered doing 2 days there but after talking to many locals the feedback we repeatedly got was that it wasn’t worth it. After the Maldives portion of the trip, Hong Kong’s weather was also extremely erratic with rain so we just played it by ear.

There was one day that finally looked good for us so we decided the night before to make the trip to Macau. So that’s really the extent of the planning we did. You can certainly book ferry tickets online but honestly you’re better off to show up at the purchase the TurboJet tickets right at the terminal because of how complicated it is to do it online. There are departures every 15 minutes so you really have nothing to worry about. Ticket prices start at HKD$171.

The way I broke the trip down was by the various areas of Macau. With a full day or less than 24 hours in Macau, this itinerary makes a lot of sense for most travellers and I’d recommend you following a similar route to what we did:

Start off in Taipa and do the cultural sights first. It’s a lovely little area full of Portuguese architecture, shops and food stalls. I personally loved this area of Macau the most. This area is also great to grab lunch.
Once you’er done here, cab over to Coloane which honestly doesn’t have too much but the big highlight is Lord Stow’s if you like Portuguese Egg Tarts. Even if you don’t like or know about them, it’s worth a try. There’s the small Chapel of St. Francis and the food vendors in front you can check out.
Hac Sa Beach is a short little detour after Coloane although to be honest the beach isn’t particularly nice. The food stalls don’t look that appetizing either and if it wasn’t for Fernando’s which Chantelle’s aunt and uncle recommended, I’d say this area is skippable.
Now it’s finally time to head into the big city so start at the Ruins of St. Paul and snake your way down the shopping streets. Have dinner in this area.
The night is young right? Casinos always come alive at night so it makes sense to slot this at the very end. Pick one or two you want to check out. The unfortunate thing is that they’re quite spaced out especially between the older ones on the Macau peninsula and the new mega ones out in Taipa.

With 24 hours in Macau, here’s an exact breakdown of the itinerary that I recommend that you follow. It gets you a chance to explore the entire city and the best that it has to offer. If you’re looking for a way to have a copy you can download, just make sure you subscribe to grab the full trip plan right below this table.

With only realistically 12 hours to work with, things were of course tight and I definitely had to make a few calls to cut out some non essentials. And then there was all the food we wanted to try. Even with all the snacking we did, we still missed quite a few places!

Macau Tower – Great panoramic views of the city. They have a skywalk and bungee jumping from up there if you dare!
Cheoc Van Beach – Another beach we could’ve checked out but there simply wasn’t enough time to go. I doubt we would’ve been impressed
The old casinos like Hotel Lisboa and Sand s – One of the challenges with Macau’s casinos is that they are not easily walkable from each other. As a result, it becomes really hard to hotel hop like you would in Vegas. It would’ve been neat to check out some of the older casinos but in the end we figured that they’d be about the same
House of Dancing Water at the City of Dreams casino – If you’re into Cirque du Soleil type shows like in Vegas, this one’s for you. We would’ve loved to have done it but we didn’t have time and also didn’t prebook. Prices start at 600HKD

If you’re looking for more of a guided experience or looking to get your hands dirty with some activities in Macau, here’s what I recommend that you check out!

New bridge crossing – The Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macau Bridge (HZMB) opened October 23, 2018 which opens up a whole new way to get to Macau from Hong Kong. Learn about the two different methods to get to Macau that involve shuttle busses. The price of this starts at HKD$65 which means it’s cheaper than taking the ferry.
Ferry tickets hacks – This isn’t really advertised but you should know that you have to pick your ferry ticket times beforehand. This may seem limiting but what most people don’t know is that you can always take an earlier ferry from the time you booked but you can’t take a later ferry. What that means in terms of strategy is to book a late ferry coming home (i.e. midnight) so if you want to head back to Hong Kong early, you can have the flexibility to do so. Or if you end up raking it in at the casino and want to stay later, you can do that as well.
Passports – You’re technically leaving the country when you head to Macau so make sure you have your passport. You will be going through passport control when you arrive in Macau and when you go back to Hong Kong. If you’re unsure, read the full entry requirements for Macau .
Private drivers? – You’ll be hounded by taxi drivers and tour guides when you get out into the main foyer of the Macau ferry terminal. Ignore them. It’s a lot easier and cheaper to run your own program and catch a few cabs you’ll need to get around.
Casino shuttles – If you want to save a bit of taxi money, why not take one of the several free shuttles to casinos. We saved money at the start by going to one of the closer casinos to Taipa and then cabbed from there
Currency – Macau (MOP) has its own currency but Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) is accepted everywhere. Just note that some places will give you MOP change. If that’s the case, you can sometimes request to get HKD back instead. If they can’t/won’t, just spend the MOP during the day
Koi Kei – What’s up with this place? These guys have a stranglehold so large on Macau that even Starbucks would be impressed. So they sell cookies and Macanese snacks that are great for souvenirs if you find anything you like. It seems crazy how many stores they have but they’ve blanketed the city so well that everyone pretty much buys goods from them if you visit Macau. They destroy the competition because they freely hand out or have self-serve boxes of samples so feel free to go nuts. By far the most popular snack to have in Macau is their dried beef slices. They’re quite delicious but the problem was that I knew I couldn’t bring these back to Canada since they are considered as meat products.
Casa de Pasto Seng Cheong (28-30 Rua do Cunha, Vila de Taipa) – Crab congee/porridge
新好利美食餅店 (13-14 R. do Regedor, Vila de Taipa) – Fresh milk tarts
大利來 Cafe Tai Lei Loi Kei (moved from the original at No.18, Largo Gov. Tamagnini Barbosa to south of the intersection of Rua do Regedor and Rua do Desporto, on the street that Rua do Desporto turns into) – Pork chop buns
Lord Stow’s (1 Rua do Tassara, Coloane) – Original Portuguese egg tarts. There’s also a store now at the Venetian if you don’t want to venture out to Coloane
Fernando’s (9 Praia de Hac Sa, Hac Sa Beach) – Portuguese restaurant, also known for their pork chop buns

Thinking about staying overnight?

Macau is easy to do in a day but if you feel like you need an extra day to explore, there’s nothing wrong with that. Alternatively, it’s totally plausible that you gambled the night away but I wouldn’t judge ;). There are lots of great places to stay in Macau but here are two of my top picks.

CASA REAL HOTEL

With rates close to $100/night, this is a great hotel near the Macau Ferry Terminal that is perfect for someone looking for a place that’s clean and comfortable.

where to stay in macau - the venetian macau

THE VENETIAN MACAO RESORT HOTEL

One of the premiere properties in Macau in a cluster of hotels meant to recreate the Las Vegas vibe. Out of all the ones we visited, this was the most impressive and almost an exact replica of the one in Vegas.

Here’s a look into what we saw in one jam-packed day itinerary in Macau.

Macau is well worth a day trip from Hong Kong and I feel that a full day is sufficient enough to see almost everything you’d want to see. 2 days is a bit top much considering there are probably other things you probably want to do ( and eat ) in HK and nearby islands.

It was a fantastic day of food, Portuguese influenced culture and a little bit of gambling.

I was pretty happy with the Macau in a single day itinerary I put together. If there was anything I’d change, I’d probably leave out Hac Sa Beach and instead spend a bit more time in the casinos which ended up being a bit too short.

Macau Day Trip – One Day Itinerary

- This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure.

If you’re visiting Hong Kong – or just passing through – there are many compelling reasons why a Macau day trip should be on your radar. A Portuguese territory until 1999, the Historic Centre of Macao has a collection of 22 World Heritage-listed sites to add to your Macau itinerary .

About 60km of water separates Macau from Hong Kong but unlike Hong Kong, which was colonised by the British, more than a hint of Portuguese flavour hangs in the air in Macau.

The fusion of Portuguese and Chinese flavours influences every aspect of Macau today, including architecture, food and culture.

Macau is a Special Administrative Region of China (SAR) that is easy to explore independently and a self-organised Macau day tour is a fun way to spend the day.

Is one day in Macau enough? Most people say it isn’t. If you’re short of time, here are some reasons to take a day trip to Macau.

1- Macau is right at Hong Kong’s doorstep

2- macau is compact and easy to get around, 3- macau is a world heritage destination, 4- macau is different to hong kong, 5- new attractions are opening in macau each year, 6- macanese egg tarts are delicious, 7- festivals in macau are frequent and fun, 8- you probably won’t need a visa, 9- getting from hong kong to macau is inexpensive, 10- the new hong kong macau bridge, 7 am hong kong ferry terminal, 8 am arrive at macau outer harbour ferry terminal, 8.30 am breakfast at senado square, st dominic’s cathedral, ruins of st paul’s, monte fort and museum of macau, 1 pm a macanese lunch, 2 pm climb the steps at a-ma temple.

Macau is close to Hong Kong and can easily be visited on a day trip.

So, if you’re visiting or connecting through Hong Kong International Airport, the Hong Kong to Macau distance of only 60km makes it easy to pop over to Macau to explore.

Being a compact city, with a land area of 115.3 km2, Macau is easy to explore on foot.

Many of Macau’s historic buildings, streets and squares are located within a manageable walking distance.

You can cover a lot of ground in a few hours, which makes a Macau day trip particularly attractive to explore.

If you love historical places, one day in Macau provides enough time to see Macau’s main World Heritage treasures , which is a unique blend of ancient China flourished alongside colonial Portugal.

Making the time to visit Macau offers another perspective of the region.

The fusion of Chinese and Portuguese cultures coexists in a unique way not found anywhere else in the world.

For example, you’ll see Chinese shop-house adorned with Portuguese tiles and European-style pavement cafés next to Chinese coffee shops .

Even if you have visited Macau once or twice before, Macau is growing so fast that a tour of Macau’s new resort developments will amaze you.

From lavish swimming pools to theme park rides, there’s plenty to see, especially if you haven’t visited recently.

Macau’s egg tarts are famous around the world and some people travel to Macau specifically to go to Lord Stow’s Bakery in Coloane to sample these egg tarts.

They’re not the same as the Chinese egg tarts in Hong Kong.

There’s a festival in Macau almost every month.

The historic precinct comes alive with light and colour during these festivals, many of which reflect the cultures of China (such as Chinese New Year ) or Portugal.

Unlike mainland China, visas for Macau are not required for travellers from 74 countries including Australia, New Zealand, USA and UK for stays of less than 30 days.

Transport from Hong Kong to Macau is readily available and inexpensive.

Hong Kong to Macau ferry prices are reasonable and ferries are fast and comfortable.

One-way fares cost from MOP170 (AUD28/USD21).

The imminent opening of the new multibillion-dollar bridge connecting Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai, will soon provide another way to travel to Macau.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is about 20 times longer than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

BOOK YOUR MACAU TOUR

Macau Itinerary

You’d be surprised at how much it’s possible to pack into a Macau day trip.

Here’s a sample Macau one day itinerary that provides a balance of historic and new attractions.

Depart Hong Kong for Macau’s Outer Harbour (there’s a 7 am ferry from Sheung Wan or a 7.05am ferry from Kowloon or a 7.40am ferry from Tuen Mun)

The distance between Hong Kong and Macau – 60km
Travel time from Hong Kong to Macau by ferry – about one hour

Check the Turbojet ferry details here

Check the Cotaijet ferry details here

Take one of the buses from the ferry terminal up Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro to Senado Square.

Distance from Macau Outer Harbour Terminal to Senado Square – 2.5km
Driving time from Macau Outer Harbour Terminal to Senado Square – 11 minutes

There’s a decent choice of cafes and restaurants around Senado Square.

For a local breakfast, look for somewhere that serves Chinese or Macanese food. A popular place for a Chinese breakfast is Wong Chi Kei.

For Portuguese egg tarts , try Koh Kei Bakery or Margeret’s Café.

10 am Explore Macau’s top UNESCO World Heritage sites

Senado Square and the surrounding attractions are clustered in a small area and easy to explore on foot.

If it’s your first time to Macau, the main historic places to visit in Macau in one day are Ruins of St Paul’s, Senado Square, Monte Fort and A-Ma Temple.

The first three are right next to each other and the A-Ma Temple is within walking distance.

The streets around the Ruins of St Paul’s are full of character and there’s plenty to see.

For those who are keen on photography, there’s enough time while on a Macau day trip to zip back at night for a night photo of Macau’s most famous landmark.

If you linger, you’ll need more than a day.

For a deeper delve into Macau’s history, you could spend a week investigating Macau’s 22 World Heritage-listed buildings, squares, museums and temples and still not have enough time.

St Dominic’s Church is a 16 th -century Spanish Dominican and the site where the first Portuguese newspaper in China was printed. Climb up to the bell tower and visit the Treasure of Sacred Art Museum.

The remains of Asia’s most famous 17 th century Jesuit church has an impressive Italianate stone façade and a sweeping staircase.

It’s the best place for a selfie!

Monte Fort or Mount Fortress was the fort used to defend Macau for 300 years.

Adjacent to Monte Fort and built on part of the fort’s foundations is the Museum of Macau , which has three levels of galleries.

Walk down to A Lorcha restaurant for a Macanese lunch. Macanese cuisine is a fusion of flavours from Europe, Africa, India and China.

Typical Macanese dishes are African chicken and minchi.

Alternatively, Café Sab 8, which is near the Ruins of St Paul’s, dishes up a contemporary twist on traditional Macanese cuisine.

Distance from Senado Square to A Lorcha – 1.3km
Walking time from Senado Square to A Lorcha – 17 minutes
Walking time from Senado Square to Café Sab 8 – 6 minute

Dedicated to the Taoist goddess of seafarers, A-Ma Temple’s first pavilions and halls were built by fishermen 800 years ago.

It was one of the first landmarks sighted by Portuguese traders who landed 450 years ago when Macau was a fishing port.

If you have time, near the temple, the Maritime Museum tells the story of Macau’s relationship to the sea, traditions of its fishermen where families lived and worked on boats and the role Macau played in the trade of Chinese silk and Japanese silver during the 17 th century.

3.30 pm Macau Tower

If it’s a clear day, include a visit to Macau Tower to your Macau day tour itinerary as it’s the best spot for a view from the sky or to try a bungy jump, if you dare.

The vantage point from the observation gallery is the place to look down and see how this former Portuguese colony has grown.

Another way to see Macau from above is Studio City’s Golden Reel, which is Asia’s first figure eight Ferris wheel.

A quick visit to Macau Tower will give you a bird’s-eye view of Macau from the sky but if you want to catch the 5 pm House of Dancing Water show, there’s not quite enough time to squeeze in one of the adventurous activities, such as a bungy jump.

At the City of Dreams, Macau’s most famous show is an impressive acrobatic extravaganza with amazing special effects and stunts.

There’s also an 8 pm House of Dancing Water show if you prefer but make sure to reserve your spot for the show as tickets sell out quickly.

7 pm Dinner in a Macau

After the show, hit the bars and restaurants on the Cotai Strip .

In the City of Dreams, Macau’s newest and boldest design hotel (Morpheus) is an impressive architectural landmark of contemporary Macau.

Top dining experiences in the City of Dreams are fine French dining at the Tasting Room and two Michelin starred Chinese restaurant Jade Dragon.

Here are some Macau buffet choices too.

In recent years, the casino developments of the Cotai Strip have brought an explosion of exciting attractions and plenty of things to do in Macau for kids .

Full Itinerary Day by day

Ni Hao! Welcome to Hong Kong! If you need a transfer from Hong Kong International Airport to downtown, you can tell us your needs ahead. Our local guide is ready to pick you up at the arrival hall of the airport, and transfer you to hotel. The rest of today is to recover from long flight, or explore this vibrant and bustling metropolis on your own.

Evening Ideas: In this evening, take a walk through Temple Street Night Market which is the livest night market in Hong Kong. Whether you’re a fan of shopping or not, Temple Street is one place you’ll find everything from souvenirs to tiny trinkets and from clothes to footwear, bags and more. Browse different kinds of commodities and if you like, stop to sit and enjoy some delicious snacks. After the tour, get back to your hotel by yourselves.

In this morning, the local guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel or assigned place (like airport, railway station or metro station). Your amazing Hong Kong tour starts. Firstly, you’ll experience the quickest and most scenic way to reach up the highest point on Hong Kong Island (552 meters) - Victoria Peak by the legendary Peak Tram which has been operating for more than 130 years as one of the world’s oldest funicular railways. Ascend the Sky Terrace 428 observation deck to enjoy 360-degree spectacular panoramic views of the vibrant city - from the stunning skyline and Victoria Harbor to the tranquility of greenery landscape. If you like, enjoy a walk around and shoot some gorgeous photos.

Later, be driven far away from the bustling and hustling downtown area to “Hawaii of the Orient” - Repulse Bay . This crescent-shaped stretch of sand is Hong Kong’s most famous beach with long coastline, soft sand, clean water and appropriate temperature and it is also home to some of its richest residents. Appreciate beautiful sea view and visit the Tin Hau Temple situated facing the sea. Continue your visit to Aberdeen Fishing Village where you will get an impressive insight of an old traditional fishing village to view the rows of old junks, sampans and private yachts. (Optional experience: if you like, try the sampan tour sailing on the peaceful harbor which would be a fun way to see parts of the floating village and their way of living.)

After the tour, you’ll be driven back to your hotel in downtown area. This afternoon and evening is free on your own. If you have time to continue exploring, you can take our suggested itinerary for further visit.

Suggested Afternoon & Evening Itinerary:

In this afternoon, pay a visit to Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple . This Taoist temple is dedicated to a deified healer named Wong Tai Sin and it is said that when he was 15 an immortal taught Wong how to make a herbal potion that could cure all illness. This temple is famed for the many prayers answered “What you request is what you get” via a practice called kau chim. Enjoy the sincere atmosphere of praying and kau chim for good fortune. Later, move your steps to Nan Lian Garden , an elegant Tang-style garden featuring a golden pagoda, a koi pond and a collection of bizarre rocks sourced from all over China. Enjoy your time in the beautiful Chi Lin Nunnery located close to the garden. Built in the style of Tang Dynasty, this Buddhist complex is a serene place with lotus ponds, bonsai tea plants, bougainvillea and silent nuns delivering offerings fruit and rice to Buddha or chanting behind intricately carved screens.

In the late evening, enjoy a light walk along Avenue of Stars situated on the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade right on the waterfront of Victoria Harbor.

Now, it is over 350 years old and a World Cultural Heritage Site symbolizing Macau. Observe the designing style and those carvings, patterns, characters, figures, etc., you will find the great combination and collision of the European elements in the Renaissance and the traditional oriental styles. Walk behind to see the only remaining Section of Old City Wall of the past Macau that was built by the Portuguesa to defend against enemies from other countries about 300 years ago. Then, walk about 10 minutes to visit the Senado Square (Largo do Senado) to appreciate the multiple century-old Portuguese styled architectures and enjoy its rich south European flavor and also the daily lifestyle of Macau people who walk along those leading lanes and operate their business.

Then, transfer to visit the 400 year-old A-Ma Temple to appreciate the featured traditional ancient Chinese constructions and the local culture of belief of the A-Ma and be touched by the sincere worship of various people from both Macau and China's mainland to her. After that, be escorted to the Border of Gate (Portas do Cerco) to know the history of the border battle between the Qing dynasty and the Kingdom of Portugal during the 1840s and its importance for people now in Macau and China's mainland. If interested, visit one of the casinos for which Macau is famous (minimum age 21).

Join me on a Macau day trip, offering a perfect blend of cultural exploration and thrilling experiences in this unique destination just beyond the shores of Hong Kong.

Is it Macau or Macao?

The territory became a special administrative region in 1999. While still part of China, it enjoys its own government and economic system. The government recognizes both Macau and Macao. Macau is the generally accepted Portuguese spelling, while Macao tends to be the English spelling. Because it was a Portuguese colony, Macau tends to be the more common of the two.

Best Things to Do on a Day Trip to Macau

Discover the beautiful city of Macau on a day trip from Hong Kong, where a blend of Portuguese and Chinese influences creates a captivating atmosphere. Here are some of the best things to do in Macau:

Day Trip to Macau | The Common Traveler | image: Senado Square

Visit the Historic Center of Macau (Senado Square)

Senado space (Largo do Senado) is a bustling public square in the heart of the Macau Peninsula. It is one of Macau’s largest squares, with an area of 3,700 square meters (4,425 square yards), and has historical value, being added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List as part of the Historic Centre of Macau in 2005.

Senado Square, named after the Leal Senado Building that has faced it since the Ming Dynasty, has seen several significant events. During the Portuguese era, it was used to evaluate troops during inauguration ceremonies.

In the 1940s, a statue of Portuguese soldier Mesquita stood in the square, notorious for his involvement in conflicts with the Qing Dynasty. However, due to its controversial history, the statue was replaced by a fountain, resulting in the square being known as “the Fountain.”

In the early 1990s, Portuguese experts were enlisted to pave Senado Square with a distinctive wave-patterned mosaic of colored stones, transforming it into a popular hub for cultural activities in Macau. The surrounding buildings, which combine Western and Chinese designs, have a long and well-preserved history, with authorities protecting their unique facades.

HOT TIP: The tourist areas are crowded with a lot of people. Be careful of your possessions.

Ruins of St. Paul

The Ruins of St. Paul, a Macau landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a powerful reminder of the city’s rich historical and religious history. The ruins date back to the 17th century and are the remains of the Church of Mater Dei and St. Paul’s College, both important institutions during Macau’s colonial era.

The only part of the cathedral that has lasted the test of time is its exterior, which has beautiful carvings and an imposing structure. This wall rises magnificently atop a flight of stone stairs, creating an intriguing view that attracts tourists from all over the world.

As you approach the steps, you’re met by detailed decorations on the facade, including sculptures of biblical figures, saints, and Jesuit insignia. The site is an architectural marvel and a significant historical marker.

Visitors can explore the nearby Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt, which houses artifacts recovered from the ruins and provides further insights into the church’s history. The crypt contains relics, sculptures, and religious art, offering a deeper understanding of the religious and cultural significance of the site.

A-Ma Temple

A-Ma Temple, a cultural gem in Macau, invites you to journey into the city’s rich history and spiritual heritage. Dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu, the temple blends Chinese architectural splendor and religious significance, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking cultural exploration.

Nestled on the southeastern tip of the Macau Peninsula, A-Ma Temple is one of the oldest temples in the region. Its origins date back to the early 16th century, making it a living testament to Macau’s maritime history and the cultural exchange between China and the Western world.

As you enter the temple complex, you’ll find yourself surrounded by halls, pavilions, and courtyards, each contributing to the temple’s serene and atmospheric ambiance. The structures are adorned with intricate carvings, colorful decorations, and traditional Chinese architectural elements, reflecting the artistry of the craftsmen who contributed to its construction.

Devotees and visitors alike also come to pay respect to Mazu, the goddess of the sea and protector of fishermen. The temple is a hub of cultural activities and celebrations, particularly during Chinese festivals and traditional ceremonies.

PRO TIP: If you plan on bringing home some of the famed almond cookies or trying one of the delicious Portuguese egg tarts, you’ll want to do it here instead of on the overcrowded streets in the historic center.

Macau Tower

Macau Tower is an iconic landmark, allowing visitors an opportunity to witness breathtaking panoramic city views. Situated in the heart of Macau’s skyline, the tower provides an unparalleled view of the city’s landscape.

The observation deck at Macau Tower allows visitors to climb lofty heights and enjoy sweeping views of Macau, the Pearl River Delta, and beyond. Gazing out from the tower’s elevated platform is a visual feast of glittering city lights, historic landmarks, and the vast expanse of the South China Sea.

Macau Tower has two exciting options for those looking for an additional dose of thrills. The Skywalk, an outdoor activity, allows visitors to walk around the tower’s outside rim from 233 meters. The transparent floor beneath your feet adds to the excitement by offering a unique view of the world below.

Daredevils seeking the ultimate adrenaline rush can try the world’s highest commercial bungee jump, 233 meters (764 feet) above ground. This thrilling adventure guarantees a spectacular freefall while surrounded by the gorgeous city.

Aside from its role as an observation tower, Macau Tower also offers dining, shopping, and entertainment options. I highly recommend visiting the revolving restaurant at the top that offers a delightful culinary experience, allowing guests to savor delicious meals while enjoying the changing views.

Funny story: My parents saw a bungee jumper sail by their window while dining at the Macau Tower. That was a surprise!

The Venetian Macau

Experience the luxury and beauty of The Venetian Macau, a resort and casino that brings the romance of Venice to the heart of Macau. This iconic destination provides a luxury experience by combining world-class entertainment, luxurious accommodation, and a touch of Italian style.

While there are many gorgeous casinos, The Venetian Macau is the largest casino in the world. Home to over 6000 slot machines and over 800 table games, this awesome site is worth visiting, even if you’re not a gambler.

PRO TIP: To enter the casino, you must show your passport and be over 18 years old.

One of the highlights of The Venetian Macau is its recreation of the Venetian atmosphere, complete with winding canals, bridges, and lovely architecture reminiscent of the Italian city. A signature experience at The Venetian is the enchanting gondola ride along the indoor canals, allowing guests to glide through the resort’s landscape while being serenaded by gondoliers.

While you’re here, explore the Grand Canal Shoppes, a shopping arcade that captures the grandeur of Venice’s streets. You can explore various boutiques, flagship stores, and designer outlets here. The Venetian Macau is also home to a world-class casino that caters to gaming enthusiasts. The vast gaming area offers an array of table games, slot machines, and entertainment options.

Day Trip to Macau | The Common Traveler | image: Portuguese egg tarts

Macanese Cuisine

Embark on a culinary journey through the delectable world of Macanese cuisine, an intriguing combination of flavors from Portuguese and Chinese culinary traditions. One of the must-try delicacies is the Portuguese egg tart, a delectable pastry with a flaky crust and creamy custard filling. These sweet treats have become the trademark of Macau and are a perfect blend of European and Asian influences.

Another highlight of Macanese cuisine is bacalhau, a delicacy of salted codfish. The Portuguese brought this culinary gem to Macau, and it has since become a favorite in the local food scene. Prepared in various ways, from hearty stews to flavorful pan-seared dishes, showcases the versatility of this beloved ingredient.

For those seeking a unique and flavorful chicken dish, African chicken is a Macanese specialty that shouldn’t be missed. This dish reflects the influence of Portuguese explorers who traveled to Africa and brought back spices that infused local cuisines. African chicken typically features delicious chicken marinated in a flavorful blend of spices.

I highly recommend pairing your meal with a glass of Macau’s famous almond tea or ginger milk to round out your culinary adventure. These refreshing beverages perfectly balance the rich and savory flavors of Macanese cuisine. Don’t miss sampling Macanese cuisine during your Macau day trip!

Day Trip to Macau | The Common Traveler | image: sculpture in park in Coloane Village

Explore Coloane Village

Discover the charm of Coloane Village, offering a more laid-back atmosphere than the bustling city center. Colorful houses, peaceful streets, and serenity greet visitors exploring this picturesque village.

The village is known for its unique blend of Portuguese and Chinese influences, as seen by its architectural and cultural features. Wander through the narrow lanes, where pastel-hued buildings create a delightful backdrop against the clear blue skies.

One of the highlights of your visit to Coloane Village is the opportunity to savor traditional snacks. Almond cookies are a local favorite. Consider exploring local bakeries and shops to sample these almond cookies (must try!)

Macau Museum

Visit the Macau Museum to learn about the city’s history, cultural influences, and evolution into a vibrant metropolis. Located atop the ancient Mount Fortress, it is an architectural masterpiece, mixing modern architecture with its historical surroundings.

Inside, you’ll see a series of exhibitions that take you on a chronological tour of Macau’s history. From its origins as a Portuguese colony to its current status as a Special Administrative Region of China, the museum explores the significant events, cultural influences, and societal developments that shaped Macau.

The museum’s themed exhibits explore various aspects of Macau’s history, such as its maritime history, multicultural society, and unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. One of the notable sections of the Macau Museum is the Gallery of Chinese and Western Art. Visitors can appreciate the combination of artistic styles and influences of Macau’s cultural landscape, from traditional Chinese artifacts to Portuguese-influenced art.

The Macau Museum also hosts temporary exhibitions focusing on various elements of Macau’s culture, arts, and modern life. These rotating displays bring a dynamic element to the museum. For those interested in Macau’s colonial architecture, the Mount Fortress is a historic place worth seeing. The fortress, built by the Jesuits in the early 17th century, has seen centuries of change and transformation.

Cotai Strip

Explore the vibrant and modern side of Macau by visiting the Cotai Strip. Nestled between the islands of Taipa and Coloane, this glittering stretch of land has become a hotspot for entertainment, luxury resorts, and world-class restaurants.

The Cotai Strip is known for its stunning skyline and features some of Macau’s iconic structures. Large-scale developments transformed it from abandoned land to a thriving entertainment and leisure hub.

Luxurious resorts and integrated entertainment complexes surround the Cotai Strip, each contending for attention with its grandeur and beauty. These events draw tourists from all over the world.

Try Your Luck at Casinos

A day trip to Macau would not be complete without a stop in its famous casinos. Take a thrilling tour through Macau’s dynamic casino industry, the “Monte Carlo of the East.” The Venetian Macao, a resort and casino complex, immerses you in a world reminiscent of Venice. MGM Macau exudes luxury, offering various gaming opportunities in an elegant setting. Wynn Macau, a symbol of luxury, provides a magnificent setting and a wide range of high-end gaming options.

From blackjack and poker to slot machines and cutting-edge electronic gaming, Macau’s casinos provide a thrilling backdrop for an evening of gaming and entertainment. Each venue offers a unique blend of luxury, entertainment, and the chance to test your luck in an atmosphere that sets Macau apart as a premier gaming destination in Asia. Remember to gamble responsibly and savor the distinct charm of Macau’s gaming culture!

What Currency to Bring on Your Macau Day Trip

Macau has its currency – the Macanese Pataca. The Hong Kong dollar backs the Macanese Pataca. The exchange rate is one Hong Kong dollar to 1.03 Macanese patacas.

This means that you can use your Hong Kong dollars in Macau. Exchanging your currency to shop here is not worth the effort. One less thing to worry about!

Final Thoughts on a Macau Day Trip

If you’ve got an extra day while in Hong Kong, schedule a day trip to Macau! The Portuguese influence is unmissable, and Portuguese is still one of the official languages.

Explore on your own or book a guided tour to learn the history of Macau. It’s the easiest way to explore this unique destination. Plan on a full day to make the most of it.

Macau, the ‘Vegas of the East’, is pretty much Disneyland for adults as we found out on a recent Macau day trip from Hong Kong.

Portuguese colonial architecture mingles seamlessly with ancient Chinese temples and laneways, which themselves give way to garish neons and megalithic casino complexes…

Throw in the Macau Grand Prix and some delicious egg tarts, and you have the ingredients for an exhilarating, if somewhat spatially challenging, Macau day trip that’s only a 55-minute boat ride away from Hong Kong!!

Before exploring Macau, arrange an eSIM to avoid hefty international roaming fees. Staying connected while traveling is essential, and eSIMs have transformed mobile network access for globetrotters.

What To Do In Macau In One Day Without Staying Overnight??

How to get to macau from hong kong by ferry, what to do after you arrive in macau.

Macau has a lot to offer. I would have liked to send more than 24 hours, but unless you have more than a week in Hong Kong , it would be hard to justify more than just a day trip. For a one day itinerary, I would recommend an early start, as early as you can manage and focus on the colonial UNESCO sites during the day and then in the evening taking in all that casino glitz and glam…

I have outlined the main sites by day and night below, but the Grand Prix was on when we were there, which slowed things significantly, so you will likely have time for more! You might also want to read my more recent Macau Itinerary for fresh ideas.

However, if you do fancy making it more than one night – Macau books up fast! Especially with all the events and conventions it hosts, not to mention the weekend!

Book early to get the best rates. You can find the best deals for Macau accommodation here – and many have free cancellation if your plans change closer to the time!

This is the easiest way from Hong Kong, though the new Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge has recently opened and now offers bus services.

Ferry prices are higher for return sailings in the evening and highest late at night. You can always return earlier but not later than the ticketed time, but you will be on standby, which we found out was a long and arduous process. Best to try stick with the time that suits you (remembering that some parts of Macau are best seen after dark!) and book you Macau Ferry ticket in advance.

How to Get to Macau From Hong Kong: Hong Kong Terminals

China Ferry Terminal is in Tsim Sha Tsui, or Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal is near the IFC Towers in the Shun Tak Center on Hong Kong Island. Price: 132 to 172 HKD (single trip, economy class).

The ferry also departs from the Sky Pier at the Hong Kong International Airport but is for transiting tourists only.

How to Get to Macau From Hong Kong: Macau Terminals

Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal is the main northern terminal closest to the old town while Cotai Terminal is to the south, closest to the Cotai Strip area with the biggest casinos. Ferries rarely sell out, but I would recommend trying to enter the Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal and leaving out of Cotai.

Still, it doesn’t really matter as Macau is a rather small place and is plied by free casino buses!

Yes, best not to plan your Macau day trip from Hong Kong when the Grand Prix is on – Unless you actually want to be part of the chaos!

On arrival, we stumbled across the Macau Grand Prix, a global motor racing series event that is held in Macau in November. It takes place in Montreal , Melbourne , Mexico City – and soon, nearby Hanoi, among other places annually.

If you are interested and in the area, in November, I would highly recommend getting tickets and going across for the night, so you still have a full day to see Macau. If you are not concerned, I would avoid or re-plan to avoid the weekend as Macau will be so packed to the brim and clogged up with traffic jams – it’s not worth it!

Start your Macau day trip from Hong Kong at the Grand Lisboa – The tallest building in Macau! One of the best t hings to do in Macau in one day is also just to wander the streets!

We took advantage of the Grand Lisboa Casino shuttle on arrival to take us to their casino. It is also near the Wynn, the MGM, and StarWorld if you want to check those out.

This group is located close to the historic Macau. In contrast, the other casinos are located on the Cotai Strip, across the bridge, and somewhat inaccessible due to being on a different island!. As we had limited time, we could only see one group at night, but I would highly suggest trying to come back here to view these casinos at night too!

Plus, if you have more time, there are so many more things to do in Macau!

Amazing colors and look at the pavement!! – We were, however, very easy to spot as one of like three westerners there. What is Macau Famous For? This incredible tile plaza for sure!

From here, it is a quick 15 min walk to a highlight of Old Macau – Senado Square (Largo do Senado). This is the public square of Macau and a great introduction to the area. It is located in the central area of the Macau Peninsula, and in 2005 it was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as it forms part of the Historic Centre of Macau site.

Around Senado Square, there are also plenty of other attractions. To the east of the square is Macau Cathedral, and at the end of the paved road is St. Domingo’s Church. The Lou Kau Mansion is found in the northeast of the square.

The Macau Tourism Board actually has made some beneficial walking tours based on interests. They also have produced a comprehensive iPhone app to make your trip go more smoothly, which you might want to grab before you go!

What is Macau Famous For?…. In a Word …This! Oh, to see this on a sunny day would be a thing of beauty – But oh well, grey and overcast, it is still lovely!

Walk to the north of the church, and you will arrive at the Ruínas de S. Paulo (Ruins of St. Paul’s). This is the most famous landmark in Macau. Right at the east of the Ruínas de S. Paulo is the Museu de Macau (Macau Museum), in which historical relics of Macau are exhibited.

On the day we visited, it was insanely crowded – Like ridiculously crowded, fight your way through oblivious masses of selfie stick-wielding tourists, makes you want to go home crowded. Hopefully, this is just to do with the Grand Prix…

Either way, I still have to say it was worth it !!… The Ruins of St. Paul’s are simply amazing, making for great photos and have a stunning view to take in of the old town from its steps. It would be a great place to enjoy lunch on the weekdays too!

What is Macau Famous For? The Margaret Egg Tart Macau, of course. Such deliciousness must be proof of sorcery and that witches live among us … Top of the list for t hings to do in Macau in one day

Speaking of lunch, you have have HAVE to try the Portuguese Macau egg tart – They are so delicious that you will buy 3 to share … and then just eat them all yourself. Not that I would do that — but they do make an excellent reward for surviving the masses. I think this is the definition of stress eating.

The egg tart is found all over Canton and China, but there at subtle differences in taste between Cantonese and Macau Portuguese style egg tarts. The visible traits are quite apparent due to the slightly burnt top, which creates a hint of caramelization (think crème Brulee), that you only get with the local Macau egg tarts. Its also quite different then those you might be familiar with in Lisbon or Porto.

You can read more about the baker behind Macau’s famous egg tarts here.

While they have egg tarts on every street corner in Macau, there are two clear standouts: Lord Stow’s Bakery , founded by Andrew Stow, or Margaret’s Cafe / Margaret Egg Tart Macau, found near the Historic City Centre in Macau.

Interestingly enough, founder Margaret was formerly married to Andrew Stow. At some point, they parted ways, and now there are two separate egg tart giants in Macau. So which is best, Lord Stows or Margaret’s?

This is a long-running debate among locals and fans of the Macau egg tarts. Most have a preference for one over the other, but in the end, they are both excellent choices and far out-shine the competition, so go with whichever is closest – better yet, try both!

When the sun goes down, the lights come out … And boy oh boy, do they come out! What is Macau Famous For? PARTY TIME!!!!

After you have enjoyed an egg tart (or 3), be sure to work it off with a brisk walk through nearby Casa and Camoes Garden. This is a hilly, heavily wooded garden formed part of the grounds of the house, which was occupied by the Chairman of the British East India Company and finish up in Temple Tou Tei. From here (on nearby Rua da Ribeira do Patane) catch the 26A towards Hac Sa Beach to the Venetian and City of Dreams!

This is the end of the historic tour part and now time to see the new Macau – The one whose gambling takes in 6 weeks is what Las Vegas makes in an entire year!! Though before you switch islands, you could be tempted by the Macau Tower Bungy Jump .

Any takers?

This is crazy – Look at that sky! Its never get that blue outside (at-least in Macau or Hong Kong!!), and you get to enjoy air-con! WIN! Helps make your Macau Day Trip From Hong Kong a little more relaxing!

The Venetian Macao is a 39-story, $2.4 billion anchors for the seven hotels on the Cotai Strip in Macau. It is modeled on its sister casino resort, The Venetian Las Vegas , and is the seventh-largest building in the world by floor area. The Venetian Macao is also the largest casino in the world and the largest single structure hotel building in Asia — because, the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is technically multiple buildings.

Officially opened on August 28, 2007, the casino welcomed its eight millionth customer in just 133 days after launch – That is just insane number! Over 2x the population of New Zealand in 8 months!!

And that is why it is so hard to decide w hat to see in Macau in one day!

The Venetian offers over 30 restaurants with cuisines from around the world, and the Grand Canal has 51 gondolas with serenading gondoliers that ply the waters of the Venetian’s three indoor canals and outdoor lagoon. It’s nowhere near as stunning as the real thing but is still nice…

There are also over 350 brand name retail stores at the Grand Canal Shoppe – nowhere in Asia is there more luxury shops crammed into a single space.

You’ll want to extend your credit limit to go shopping with a red carpet line up that includes COACH, Calvin Klein, and Tiffany…I skipped on this to save funds and time, but if you’re interested, this would be the spot for you!

Well actually almost every store we saw was empty except for staff, but my friend reckons they must only need to sell one or two handbags, etc. a day at that price to be profitable. Still, it’s all amazing to check out and be in awe! You can even place a bet though from my experience I’d advise not, and I can testify that the house does always win!

What to See in Macau in One Day? STUDIO CITY – Brand new, as it only opened up two weeks before our Macau Day Trip From Hong Kong !

From here, you just wandered around all the other mega-casinos, including Studio City , Galaxy Macau , Sands Cotai, and City of Dreams. They are all amazing, but Studio City here is the one to watch. When we visited had only been open for a month, so was not all 100% yet but has already become world-famous for its Batman ride and a Ferris Wheel in the shape of a figure-8 …

These non-gambling features are a result of Macau’s casino industry’s worst downturn on record as China’s slowing economy and its crackdown on corruption.

China’s President Xi Jinping in December ordered the city to diversify its economy from gambling, on which it relies for about 80 percent of revenue and the results of this should be seen more in the future – The Parisian Macao which has recently opened and many existing casinos are busy creating shows and other entertainment events…

Expect to see Macau look more like Vegas in the future – which isn’t a bad thing. While gambling can be fun, I for one, would love to see a proliferation of entertainment options when I come back in the future to draw me in few days (as Vegas does) rather than the current day trip option may take. And I would absolutely love to check out the Macau SkyWalk!

One giant construction zone … Bigger things to come, watch this space as I’m sure there will be a new addition or two to the What to See in Macau in One Day list very soon!

An exciting future development that would add to the appeal accessibility (user-friendliness) is the Macau light rail transit (planned to be complete in 2019).

It will serve the Macau Peninsula, Taipa and Cotai, serving major border checkpoints such as the Border Gate, the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal , the Lotus Bridge Border and the Macau International Airport connecting major entry-exit points at the Macau Peninsula and the Taipa Island with residential and tourist areas.

Exciting times for Macau and with the growth it has had in the past and a supposed resurgence (which may or may not be occurring as we speak), you can be sure to add Macau into your future travel plans! I will be going back to explore further in the future when I get the chance!

Hometime – I was exhausted from our Macau day trip from Hong Kong and slept the whole way back. I barely made it onto the boat as was not functional at all by the time I got back to Hong Kong… But well worth it!

A fantastic day trip with history, food, vice, and modern extravagance. I can highly recommend anyone to check Macau out — though maybe just look a going on a quieter day!

Hopefully, this helps you answer the question of what Macau is famous for and helps you plan all the things to do in Macau in one day. Just don’t miss the Margaret Egg Tart Macau!

The Taipa Terminal services the Cotai Strip and is convenient if you are going to the Casinos or to catch a show at one of the fantastic venues at City of Dreams i.e. The House of Dancing Water, a highlight concert or event. For visiting the historical center of Macau the Main Terminal is more convenient.

If you happen to end up at the Cotai Ferry Terminal rather than the main Macau Terminal (or viceversa) there are free shuttle services operated by the hotels and both terminals and they run non-stop so it is not much of a problem, in fact, you get to see a bit more of Macau!

Getting There: By Express Shuttle Bus

With the recent opening of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macau Bridge you can now also take the shuttle buses to enter Macau. Here are some considerations when deciding whether to take the ferries vs the Express shuttles:

The bus ride takes about two hours, might be longer depending on traffic conditions, so definitely longer than the ferries
With the shuttles you clear immigration on the way but that means you have to get off twice to clear immigration in Hong Kong and in Macau
The shuttle longer ride and immigration clearance stops are compensated by the fact that once you arrive in Macau, the shuttle will drop you off right in town, either the Cotai strip or the city center at a centrally located hotel (see below) rather than the ferry port, at which you would still have to clear immigration and then hop on some kind of transport to bring you to the city or the casinos in Cotai
Cost is the same for both, a one-way ticket costs HK200 for either the ferry or the shuttle bus
One compelling reason to take the shuttles is to experience the fantastic architectural marvel of the bridge, at 34 miles long (55 km) the longest sea crossing in the world

The shuttle buses are fairly new whereas the ferries have been running for ages, ferries have the routine down. With the shuttle buses there were a few hiccups at the beginning, i.e. process of clearing immigration or finding the right bus afterward, but now most wrinkles seem to be ironed out.
You could take the express shuttle bus to Macau and the ferry back to Hong Kong. Ferries run more frequently than the shuttle, so might make your return trip easier and more flexible.

Shuttle buses from Hong Kong depart and arrive from the Kowloon side at two locations:

Prince Edward
Elements Mall in Kowloon Station

At the Macau side, you can have departures/arrivals at both the city center and the Cotai strip at predetermined hotels:

City Center: Sands, Hotel Lisboa, MGM Macao
Cotai Strip: Galaxy Macao, The Venetian Macao, MGM Cotai

How often do Macau Express Shuttle Buses run?

Macau Express shuttles run every hour with additional departures added during peak hours

First bus departs Hong Kong at 8:15 am
Last bus departs Macau at 7:45 pm

How Much Are Hong Kong/Macau Express Shuttle Bus Tickets? Where Can We Get Discount Tickets?

One-Way tickets to/from Hong Kong / Macau cost HK200 (US$25) for either the city center or the Cotai Strip.

Remember you can get Express Macau Shuttle Bus Discount Tickets from Klook.com:

Hong Kong to Macau: HK200 HK158 US$ 20.28 More info and Booking ››

Getting There: Private Transportation

Can you get there with your own vehicle? Not likely, there is a limited number of permits issued to private cars which also works under some kind of daily quota system for vehicles that are authorised to use the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HKMB).

Your best bet is to hire one of the private vehicles with existing permits that provide this service and it is the best option for door-to-door transfer to Macau.

Prices for transfers in vans or SUVs which will accomodate up to 6 passangers start at HK 2,750 (US$ 350) for a transfer to the city, HK 2,300 (US$295) to the Macau checkpoint. This is a one-way transfer and does NOT include any touring or sightseeing once in Macau.

If you would like to be taken around for the day and tailor your own itinerary, once you are in Macau, vans with English-speaking drivers can be hired for the day (7 hours), cost is HK 3,000 (US$385) for a 7-seater van, 9-seater also available. If coming with the private limo transfer, you can be picked up at the Macau checkpoint.

This Private Van charter is also available if you are arriving with the ferries or the shuttle bus. If you are arriving with the ferry they can pick you up at the Ferry Terminals or at any of the hotels if arriving with the shuttle.

Getting Around:

Getting around in Macau is relatively easy and inexpensive. Taxis and buses are plentiful. Check out what Macau attractions you would like to visit and their locations on this map and decide on a plan.

From the Ferry terminal getting into town is easy with Bus #3, which will bring you to the main square in the center of town. From there, the Ruins of St. Paul are within walking distance and just around in the area there are many alleys and lanes worth checking out for trinkets and some great local food.

And of course there are the free shuttles that run from the different hotels and casinos and the Ferry Terminals. You can't miss them as you exit the station.

Shuttles for the Grand Lisboa bring you close to the center of town. For the Cotai Strip, take the Venetian or the Galaxy Shuttles.

Day trip to Macau from Hong Kong itinerary

Is it worth is to go on a day trip to Macau from Hong Kong? And what is the best Macau itinerary for a day? To begin answering these questions, let’s start with some interesting numbers.

Macau receives over 30 million visitors a year albeit around 90% are Chinese and 70% come from mainland China . That means that about 20% are visitors from Hong Kong, China’s other Special Administrative Region , or Taiwan.

The vast majority of visitors from Hong Kong come in the morning and leave in the evening, visiting on a day trip to Macau from Hong Kong. Macau is the most popular day trip destination to escape the concrete jungle that Hong Kong can be.

Here are some data points about Macau tourism and Macau day trips in 2018 from to put things into perspective.

Annual number of visitors to Macau : 36 Million in 2018, that is 15% up since 2016
Number of visitors coming from greater China: 28 million
Percentage of same day visitors (day trippers from Hong Kong or mainland China) : 50% Average number of days overnight visitors stay for : 1.2 days, that is 2 days and 1 night – although I would suggest a longer visit to truly experience the city

Are you looking to go on a day trip to Macau but don’t want any of the hassle?

Click below to book your tour!

We have selected all the best day tours and Macau itineraries so you don’t have to do anything, just sit back, relax and enjoy the city!

4. Hop on Hop off bus tour : Moving around Macau is time consuming since the Cotai and Old Macau areas are far from each other and some of the main sights are spread out, so a bus ticket is very convenient for day trips.

Where is Macau and how close is it to Hong Kong

Grand Lisboa - a must visit on a day trip to Macau

Macau is a small country (and I use the term loosely as it is not officially a country ) that lies one hour by ferry from Hong Kong so it comes as no surprise that it is one of the most popular one-day trips from Hong Kong, one of Asia’s most densely populated cities, and an interesting destination well worth a visit .

Macau’s territory is spread between a portion in mainland China , located on a peninsula, and the island which is split into three zones: Taipa, Cotai and Coloane . A Macau day trip usually includes some sightseeing in at least two of the 3 parts.

One of the most surprising facts about Macau (and there are many) is that this Special Administrative Region of China used to be made of two islands connected to the peninsula by bridges. In 2002 the two island were joint via landfill to create the middle bit, Cotai, where the casino resorts are located.

How to get from Hong Kong to Macau for a day trip

Ride the ferris wheel at The Eight on a day trip to Macau

Macau is easily reached by plane via its international airport which opened in 1995 and has direct flights to many destination in Asia including Singapore, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Danang, Phuket, Hanoi or Manila.

You cannot fly from Hong Kong to Macau as they are both very close, but there are several ferries running every hour from two companies covering the route, TurboJet and CotaiWaterJet .

If you are visiting Macau just for the day you will most likely take the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau and back. Don’t forget to pre-order a Sim Card with Hong Kong pick up so that you are connected throughout.

Both companies depart from Hong Kong’s international airport as well as the city’s downtown area. In Macau, they stop at either Taipa Ferry Terminal or at Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal on the peninsula.

Some ferries run throughout the night so you could successfully spend 24 hours in Macau or even sneak out from your hotel room after a day of business meetings and enjoying great Hong Kong food and go gamble, party or shop for the night and be back in Hong Kong for the next day’s appointments.

That is if you are young at heart and full of energy. It helps that the ferry tickets prices are quite cheap running for as little as $25 each way.

You can see the ferry schedules of TurboJet from Hong Kong International airport below but bear in mind that because of the continuous construction both in Macau and in Hong Kong, these schedules may change so reconfirm when you buy your tickets.

Also note that the departures from Hong Kong airport to Macau are inside the airport and considered transit by the Hong Kong government so you would not need a visa to Hong Kong if you land in Hong Kong and immediately transfer to the ferry (in case you can’t fly directly into Macau) .

Unless you are landing in Hong Kong, you cannot take the ferry from the airport as the departures are inside the terminal.

TurboJet’s ferry schedule from Hong Kong international airport are as follows:

TurboJet’s ferry schedule from Hong Kong city center are as follows:

The ferry schedules of CotaiWaterJet from Hong Kong international airport below:

And the ferry schedules of CotaiWaterJet from Hong Kong city center below:

The convenience of the ferry frequency, its price and the 24h coverage means that it is quite easy to simply hop on a ferry and cross the Pearl River from Hong Kong to Macau and spend as little or as long as you want there. This is why day trips to Macau from Hong Kong are so popular among the residents and visitors to Hong Kong.

As the route is frequented by lots of visitors, businessmen and commuters, I would recommend that you buy your ferry tickets in advance to avoid queueing and overbooking as some of the popular times are often full, especially if you need to ensure a specific ferry on your way back to Hong Kong airport.

Is one day in Macau enough?

Watching the fountain at Wynn Macau is a must on a day trip to Macau

So now you know that it is logistically possible, easy and cheap to visit Macau for a day from Hong Kong, but how easy is it to visit Macau just in a day? How big is the city? What Macau itinerary makes sense?

Macau is only 28 square kilometres, or a sixth of Washington DC, so it is also quite manageable in a day, size wise , and it is the world’s most densely populated country so it packs a punch in those 28 square kilometres. But just because it is possible it doesn’t mean you should do it.

The real question therefore is, should you go on a Macau day trip from Hong Kong ?

The short answer is, if you have no alternative, a day exploring Macau is better than no day at all , but my recommendation would be to devote some quality time (3 days ideally) discovering this former Portuguese colony to give it a chance to surprise and captivate you. After all, there are more than 60 things to do in Macau that I recommend.

However, a lot of people will disagree with me and say that one day in Macau is enough and there is nothing to see.

As my Guide to Macau proves, there is plenty to discover that is worth it and, as the proof is in the pudding, I spent 11 days on one of my trips to Macau and five of them were to exclusively visit the city, and I was not bored.

I will admit that, after five days, I had pretty much seen everything there is so the ideal length in Macau is probably three days. In five days in Macau I did it all!

However, if you are pressed for time and live far away, you may just have one chance to visit on a day trip from Hong Kong to Macau so I have put together this one day itinerary to help you make the most of your one day trip to Macau.

Things to do on your Macau day trip – The perfect Macau 1 day itinerary

If you are only going to visit Macau for a day you have to be sure you will make the most of it so get up early and take a ferry around 7ish am so that you can cover everything there is in this itinerary.

There are plenty of ferries going to Macau from Hong Kong city center, as mentioned above, so you could book a specific ticket to force yourself to not procrastinate, you definitively want to have as much time in Macau as possible if you’re only there for the day. This is my suggested one day itinerary in Macau.

8:30-9am Arrive in Macau

You have to be efficient to make the most of your one day in Macau so after stepping off the ferry, head straight out to Coloane’s Lord Stow’s bakery .

This is a great place for a traditional Portuguese breakfast and also a rare insight into what Macau must have been before the casinos and the explosion in tourism and the economy. Lord Stow bakery is known for its egg tarts, one of the most well-known Portuguese sweets which you will find everywhere.

Trying the infamous egg tart at Lord Stow’s Bakery is a must on a day trip to Macau

However, this is the original creator at their original store. The location is a bit out of the way, in a small store by the sea in a sleepy town so it is a good way to get into the Macau mood and a first step into its Portuguese colonial heritage.

10am UNESCO listed Macau

Feeling the sugar rush, the caffeine kick and the energy, you are ready to explore the heritage-laden area around Largo do Senado, a must-see in your Macau itinerary . Take a taxi to this central square in Macau’s old city and start your heritage tour there.

Leal Senado

Leal Senado is the most central building in Macau and a good place to start your day exploring the city. The building was originally built in 1974 as the first municipal chamber and received its name (“loyal senate”) by King John IV in 1654 for its loyalty to the crown during Spanish occupation.

The building is well preserved and you can go inside and upstairs to see the main rooms from where you can have a good view over the Senado Square below. There is also a small back garden. The building’s walls are covered in typical Portuguese blue and white tiles and it is permanently full of people.

In front of the building is the square which was redone in the 1990s and paved with a wave-patterned mosaic of grey and white stones. The square is surrounded by stores, old pharmacies, sweet stalls, shops, etc. housed in neo-classical Portuguese buildings in the typical pastel shades. Follow the square along until you reach your next stop.

Holy House of Mercy – Santa Casa da Misericordia

This hard-to-miss building is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Macau heritage area . The Holy House of Mercy is a charitable institution was established in 1569 and was the first to build a Western style clinic in Macau along with many other welfare efforts that are still in place today.

There is a small museum in the building you can visit.

St. Dominic’s Church

If you carry on the waved pavement you will find the yellow facade belonging to St. Dominic’s Church, a 16th century Spanish Dominican church built by a Mexican priest from Acapulco. The church was also the site for the first Portuguese newspaper to be printed in China called the China Bee in 1822.

Do not miss the opportunity to go inside and climb the stairs up the bell tower to visit a small museum housing Sacred Art that is on display. You can climb up the four flights of stairs and visit the exhibits on every floor. At the very top, you can see the old church bells.

Lou Kau Mansion

Continue walking towards the Lou Kau Mansion very near the church. Lou Kau Mansion is a lovely Chinese building that has a lot of Western and Portuguese influences. Built on two storeys in the traditional grey brick courtyard style, Lou Kau Mansion dates back to the end of the 19th century and belonged to Lou Kau, a Chinese merchant .

Located in a back alley where lots of Chinese vegetable and protein soups are served, entering is like stepping back in time. Inside you can still see some of the original or replica furniture of the time.

Ruins of St. Paul

The Ruins of St. Paul is made of the facade and remaining of a church built at the beginning of the 17th century is the city’s most emblematic landmark and the main piece of Macau’s 21 UNESCO listed structures . If you only saw one thing in your Macau itinerary, it would have to be this one.

The Jesuit church was destroyed by fire in 1835 and what remains is the crypt and the main facade which has withstood the passing of time.

You can visit the museum right behind the facade. The College of St. Paul, right next to the church, was the first Western university in the Far East and considered a very advanced educational institution. To the right of the facade you can see the Mount Fortress hill which can be climbed.

Canons and some defensive structures remain. Behind the ruins, to the left, do not miss a chance to take a look at Na Tcha Temple from which you will have a different perspective on the ruins.

Alongside the temple lies a section on the city’s old walls made of orange looking mud that was made with clay, soil, sand, rice straw, crushed rocks and oyster shells.

The contrast between the catholic church, the Chinese temple and the old walls so near each other is a reminder of Macau’s rich past. Also, while the main stairs leading up to the Ruins of St. Paul are permanently crowded, the back side where the temple is tends to be quiet and empty.

12:30pm Lunch at Lung Wa Teahouse

Lung Wa Teahouse is a traditional Chinese teahouse that sells their own tea leaves. The place is hard to find but you can locate it on my map . It is on a first floor of a pastel yellow round corner building and its name, in Portuguese, is written on the top of the building door frame so look up to identify it.

In front of it, the old Chinese tea market still functions. Inside, expect a charming if slightly old fashioned place where old furniture, Chinese art pieces and dim sum stack next to each other . There is a food menu, but it is only in Chinese.

You can use Google translate to attempt at ordering, but as soon as you sit down the owner will immediately come, armed with the largest most honest smiles, and offer you tea. Pick your choice and he will deliver the teapot and the cups together with a small bowl, chopsticks and a Chinese spoon.

If you don’t dare to order from the menu, your best bet is to walk to the dim sum cart and pick the desired bamboo steamers. If you can read Chinese, there are fried noodles, chicken, etc. The tea is excellent and the owner is super lovely .

2pm Afternoon sightseeing

If you have time on your day trip to Macau, visit Hac Sa Reservoir Country Park

You should be on your way to visiting the lower parts of the Macau Peninsula , towards the sea, to check out the country’s oldest Chinese temple and the one that gave Macau its Portuguese name and another beautiful Chinese mansions. You will end at Guia Fort.

Did you know that Macau has beaches? You might want to include a swim at the beach in Macau your itinerary if it’s terribly hot. Click here to see how to get there and what to expect at the best beaches in Macau.

A-Ma Temple

A Ma Temple is a red temple located on a hill in various levels and surrounded by boulders and greenery and it is a muse see if you are in town even if you are just in on a Macau day trip.

This is a temple devoted to many Chinese faiths , including Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and folk believes, each with their own halls and deities and it is common to find pilgrims and devotees making offerings and praying.

Mandarin House

This house built at the end of the 19th century was a traditional Chinese compound and home of the Chinese literary figure Zheng Guanying . You can go inside and stroll through the many courtyards , rooms and gardens.

Like with Lou Kau Mansion, The Mandarin House is decorated with some of the original heritage furniture. Watch out for the moon windows, the intricate doors and windows and the pretty surroundings.

This is one of the most instagrammable places in Macau and a great way to have some rest if you are tired from all the exploration on your day trip to Macau as there are really peaceful benches.

Guia Fortress and Guia Lighthouse

The Guia Fortress dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. It takes a bit of a trek to go all the way up through the snaking steep paths but it is well worth it, not only for the chapel but also for the views and the military tunnels.

The chapels’ frescoes are still visible and you can see a mixture of Western and Chinese motifs . The lighthouse is not open to the public so you can just see it from outside. As you walk up to the top, watch out for the defensive tunnels built inside the hill. This is the highest point in your Macau day trip.

5pm The House of Dancing Water

This is Macau’s most famous show and a truly amazing performance and you should try to fit it in your one day in Macau itinerary . The House of Dancing Water is a massive performance by Cirque du Soleil’s director and combines acrobats with dancers, performers and lots of water.

It is a fascinating show and well worth it, but quite expensive so you may prefer to skip it. They usually have 5pm and 8pm shows so i recommend going to the 5pm to get out on time for dinner.

If you choose to skip the show, I would recommend you have a sunset drink at the rooftop bar of The Altira and an earlier dinner at one of the options below.

You have a few options for dinner depending on how much you want to spend , what you feel like or your energy level.

Robuchon au Dome and The Eight are located in Old Macau so they require a 20min cab ride from The House of Dancing Water in The City of Dreams casino complex. Antonio is in Taipa, so a bit closer.

Robuchon au Dome

For a truly over the top French culinary journey through the most Michelin awarded chef Robuchon , this is your best bet. Robuchon au Dome has 3 Michelin stars and is located at the top of the Grand Lisboa hotel. Expect the dinner to take 2-3 hours and end with a very full stomach. Go for the degustation menu for a complete experience. Read my review of Robuchon au Dome .

Interior for Review of Restaurant The Eight in Macau

This is the only other 3 Michelin star restaurant in Macau but, unlike Robuchon, it offers Chinese cuisine and is a lighter option. The Eight is also located at the Grand Lisboa . Read my review of The Eight .

Antonio is one of the most awarded and traditional Portuguese cuisine restaurants in Macau. It is housed in a traditional Taipa building with a lot of character. The menu is extensive and it has a lot of traditional Portuguese dishes as well as some Macanese recipes.

Make sure to order the sausage as a starter as it is grilled in the fire tableside , as are the crepes. All the dishes come in generous portions. More information and bookings here .

Albergue 1601

Albergue 1601 is a Portuguese and Macanese restaurant in a heritage pastel yellow building in a pretty courtyard. This is similar to Antonio’s. more information here .

Back in the heritage part of Old Macau you can find Cheong Kei , a Michelin listed tiny noodle store in the aptly named Rua da Felicidade, a colourful area that used to be Macau’s red light district. It is an interesting little area as well.

Macau has plenty of restaurants and food options so you can never run out of options. The Michelin guide is full of options if none of the above suit your taste.

10pm/11pm Evening entertainment

Depending on your energy levels and eagerness to discover what Macau’s frantic and large casino scene has to offer, you may choose to return to Hong Kong after dinner to stay on for a bit longer to stretch out your day trip to Macau with some more entertainment options.

These are some of the places in the Cotai casino area that you should check out after dinner for a variety of entertainment options.

Wynn Macau or Wynn Palace

Visiting the Wynn on a day trip to Macau

If you had dinner at the Grand Lisboa you will be closest to the Wynn Macau , possibly the country’s most lavish and luxurious hotel . If you ate at Antonio’s you are already near Cotai so best to head to the Wynn Palace , one of the newest hotels in Cotai and as over the top as the Wynn Macau.

In both places you should check out the main shopping areas which are open until midnight and the art on display. Stay tuned for the performance lakes that are in front of both hotels for the light, water and music shows that happen every 15 to 30 minutes.

At the Wynn Palace you should also jump on the cable car to get to the hotel, it is free. At the Wynn Macau look out for the Tree of Prosperity and the Dragon of Fortune art installations.

The Venetian

What can I say about The Venetian ? It is well known that this is the largest casino hotel in the world and a replica to the Italian city . If you arrive before 11pm, you are still on time for a last minute shopping extravaganza.

Stroll through the shopping area, look out for the San Marco square or take a a href=”https://affiliate.klook.com/jump/activity/740-gondola-rides-at-the-venetian-macau/?adid=61315&af_wid=4900″>gondola tour with a graciously singing gondolier. Be careful, the lack of windows inside The Venetian means that you lose track of time and you could miss your ferry back.

The Parisian

The main feature of The Parisian is the replica of the Eiffel Tower which you can go up to for great views over the entire Cotai Strip. The tower is open 24h.

Looking for a party on your day trip to Macau - try CUBIC Club

If you are still up for more, you can stay up until as late (or as early) as you like by either partying at the two main spots Cubic or Show House Macau (formerly Pacha) , or gambling all night long at the main casinos which are open 24h .

Where to stay in Macau

What if you are too tired and want to stay in Macau for the night?

Travelers often bundle Hong Kong and Macau together because of their proximity to each other, just one-hour ferry ride apart. It is common for travelers staying in Hong Kong to visit Macau on a day trip. Likewise, those whose lodging is in Macau can easily do a day tour of Hong Kong. It is also not unusual for travelers to enter the region via Hong Kong and exit via Macau or the other way around.

Whether you’re holding a roundtrip ticket or a Hong Kong-Macau ticket, we might have a sample itinerary for you.

If you need help planning your Hong Kong-Macau trip, check out our travel guides below:

✅ HONG KONG TRAVEL GUIDE

✅ MACAU TRAVEL GUIDE

But first: Rent a pocket wi-fi!

If you’re holding a roundtrip Hong Kong plane ticket, you might want to rent a pocket wifi. Being connected to the Internet all the time can make your travel worry-free. You can use it to access Google Maps, currency converters, share photos on your Facebook or Instagram, and search for more tips and recommendations. Please note that these pocket wifi services are only advisable if you have a roundtrip Hong Kong ticket. If you’re arriving via Hong Kong and leaving via Macau, this isn’t for you because you might not be able to return the device.

If you have a roundtrip HK ticket, reserve a pocket wifi as early as you can because only a limited number of devices are available per day.

As always, here are a few reminders that you must bear in mind should you decide to use the sample itineraries below.

All itineraries assume you’re staying in Tsim Sha Tsui area on the Kowloon side in Hong Kong or near the historic center in Macau. This is where most budget accommodations are located.
Book your tickets and tours with Klook. I have provided links where you can purchase tickets or book tours. These are affiliate links, many of which offer discounts. You’ll also help our blog in the process if you purchase tickets via Klook.
Cost estimates are only ballpark figures. Actual prices may vary. However, these are overestimates. We added some wiggle room or allowance to accommodate other additional incidental expenses.
Double check schedules. These are not exact times, especially train times. They’re meant to only give you an idea of how long you should spend doing an activity or staying in a spot. Actual schedule may be different.

And of course, if you want to change anything in the itinerary to match your flight sched or whatever preferences, feel free.

is this an independent tour or you are referring to a company who is doing the tour

Hi Edith, these are DIY (do-it-yourself) tours, so yes, independent.

Just want to inform you that for your 4 day itinerary, The supposed to be “Day 4” has been tagged as “Day 3”. Just FYI. =)

Woot! Nice catch! Thanks for letting us know. We’ll fix it.

Note that there is also a new to bypass HK immigration and travel directly from HKIA to/from Macau by way of a direct bus service directly from the restricted area called SkyPier. Conditions travelling from Macau to HK do apply that can impact Indian Nationals without PAR so be advised if this is your situation.
