Venetian Vibes🎡

Just got back from an epic day trip from Hong Kong to Macau — and the Ruins of Saint Paul's are a must-see 🏛️✨. Macau is such a vibe: fusion of Portuguese history, neon lights, and walkable streets!

Top Spot to Visit:
Ruins of Saint Paul's (Calcada de São Paulo, Macau) is the showstopper. Open all day, it's perfect for flexible day-trippers or early birds. The remnants of the 17th-century church are stunning (IG-worthy from every angle), and you'll love how the colonnades frame the old city and Cotai Strip beyond 👀. Don’t skip a wander around the cobbled streets, lined with snack stalls—grab a pastel de nata!

Quick Tip:
Hop on the ferry from Hong Kong—it's speedy, frequent, and drops you right into the heart of Macau (skip the lines by booking ahead on trip.com!). Wear comfy shoes: the best way to experience Macau’s hidden alleys and snack havens is on foot.

How to Get Around:
After docking, local buses and taxis are everywhere. Walking is tops around the old town, especially for spontaneous photo stops and food breaks.

Food Recs:
Macau’s bakery game is strong. Try pastel de nata at Koi Kei (branches all over town), and don’t miss a crispy pork chop bun, ideal for refueling between sightseeing.

Extra Tips:
No visa needed for most travelers (double-check your passport). Have HKD cash, it is handy as markets and some local joints are cash-only. Weather is steamy and humid, so pack light and stay hydrated!
