How To Get Here

There are a few ways to get to Macau. Also note that a visa is required that is bought when you arrive.

By Ferry

There is ferry service from Hong Kong. There are multiple companies.  They have Economy and Deluxe class service that comes with Lounge service, so quite swanky. There are high speed CAT as they call them as well as normal ones. There are buses at the Ferry station that will take you to the different hotels.

 

By Plane

The closest airport is the Macau International Airport (MFM). I’ve been to Macau twice and never once flown in or out. I’ll have to fix that soon.

The following airlines serve the airport:

Air Asia (AK), Air Asia Zest (Z2), Air Busan (NX), Air China (CA), Air Macau (NX), Air Seoul (RS), Cebu Pacific Air (5J), China Eastern Airlines (MU), EVA Airways (BR), Far Eastern Air Transport (FE). Hainan Airlines (HU), Jeju Air (7C), Jin Air (LJ), Lion Air (JT), Philippine Airlines (PR), Shanghai Airlines (FM), Shenzhen Airlines (ZH), Spring Airlines (9C), Thai Asia Airways (FD), Tiger Airways (TR), T’Way Airlines  (TW), Vietnam Airlines (VN) and Xiamen Air (MF).

By Car

If you are already in the region you can take the drive. Just use a service like Google Maps for directions.

What To Do

Lots to do here, but the main thing is gambling and shopping. One of the bigger attractions is the City of Dreams Casino. You can easily get lost in this facility. It has everything really.

Also, plan on visiting the Macau Tower.

The Ruins of St. Paul is also a must see. There’s a whole other side of Macau where the locals live and eat. You should definitely check out that area as well.
