Macau itineraries
Old Town in a day, tower finish
The route most day-trippers from Hong Kong walk: the World Heritage streets from Senado Square down to A-Ma Temple, then up Macau Tower as the sun goes down.
Cotai nights, Coloane days
Drop your bags at the Venetian, do Cotai's shows and fountains after dark, then bus out to Coloane's seaside village the next day. The islands only.
Peninsula base, three districts
Sleep in the middle of the Old Town. Day one is the heritage streets, day two Cotai and Taipa, day three Guia Hill and the tower. The whole of Macau in two nights.
