Macau Holiday Packages
Thinking of getting away from it all and treating yourself to one of our many Macau holiday packages? Prepare yourself, as this place is like Las Vegas on steroids.
The most densely populated territory in the world, Macau packs action around every corner, and its gambling industry is bigger than the Vegas Strip. One thing is for sure: your Macau holiday is going to be a winner.
Things to Do in Macau
Begin your trip with a rowdy hike through the island's many casinos, most of which line the waterfront on the southern side of the peninsula. Once you've explored the gambling dens, bars and restaurants here, check out the new developments in Cotai, a strip of land reclaimed from the ocean that now hosts the largest casino in the world.
Your Macau holidays should involve more than just casinos, however. Formerly a Portuguese colony, Macau is a melting pot of European and Chinese culture, with historical sites like the 17th-century Fortaleza do Monte fortress and the A-Ma temple, built in 1488. The island is tiny, meaning that it's perfect for you to explore on foot. If you need a break from the neon and chaos, book one of Wotif’s Macau car hire options and head across the bridge from the main island to the sleepy islet of Coloane, where you'll find good beaches and quaint Portuguese-style architecture.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
As a free port and a special administrative region of China, Macau is a shopaholic's dream. The city is a common stopover point for shopping-minded travellers on their Guangzhou holidays. If you do manage to strike it big at the roulette tables, there are plenty of places to drop your cash. Head to the city centre and you'll find shops with pricey watches and jewellery on display, or check the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro for high-end international fashion outlets. Still not ready to give your credit card a rest? The port city of Guangzhou, some 100 km to the north, is the place for you. Look into our Guangzhou packages to really explore this storied place.
Once you've worked up an appetite with your shopping spree, try the unique Macanese cuisine—a fusion of Portuguese and Chinese elements. The Peninsula region is your best bet for some grub, with everything from street food stands to world-class restaurants. You can't leave without trying a Portuguese egg tart, which is a flaky pastry with a sweet custard-like filling, or sampling the traditional dim sum and Cantonese seafood dishes.
As the sun sets, Macau's streets begin to pulse with activity. Head to the Avenida Sun Yat Sen along the peninsula's harbour. You'll find no shortage of bars and nightclubs where you can celebrate your winnings or drown your sorrows with some Portuguese wine. The casinos themselves also offer nighttime entertainment options, like live music, theatre, and acrobatics. Made some new friends? Meet them for some late-night bubble tea at one of the cafes near the city centre.
