Getting Around

Macao comprises Macao Peninsula, Taipa and Coloane. Macao Peninsula is the hub of the territory and is connected to Taipa by three bridges. Several large international hotel resorts - with new supporting infrastructure - are located on the reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane in the newly developed district known as Cotai.

Macau’s architecture, art, religion, traditions, food and community reflect the integration of Chinese, Western and Portuguese cultures. It is currently positioning itself as the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure as it develops into a quality international tourist destination.
