Whether it is the architecture that grabs you, or the inviting international cuisines, comfortable climate or amazing landscape, Macau has a little something for everyone.

 Architecture

The architecture in Macau bears traces of multiculturalism as well as many different colors. A lot of old buildings are painted in pink, yellow, or green, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Even the government buildings are painted pink.

Taipa

One of Macau's most famous tourist attractions is Taipa, an island 2.5 kilometers away from Macau. It is known for its Portuguese architecture such as the Taipa House Museum, the church of Our Lady of Carmel, and the ex-Carmel.

The Church of Our Lady of Carmel

Macau's charm can be found in its nooks and crannies. Narrow old alleys widen into old churches and other hidden treasures. Broad highways and high-rises are virtually invisible except in busy downtown areas.

The Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, also dubbed the New Road, lies at the heart of Macau. The street is less than a mile long and is bordered by stately buildings such as the 100 year-old Atlantic Bank. The combination of fountains, churches and brightly colored buildings lends the area an almost Mediterranean flavor.
