I think that the best way to visit Macau is taking a ferry in Hong Kong. Macau has an international airport, but flying to Hong Kong is easier and cheapper. The ferry takes a little more than one hour, depating each half an hour and costing about US $30
Going to Macao from Guangzhou China, by Bus costs 70 yuan. one of the bus terminal is located at China Hotel near yuexiu metro station, its a 2.5 hours journey from guangzhou to Gongbei port in Zhuhai China, the boarder area in Macao.Around Macau, there are free bus/shuttle service courtesy of hotels and casinos in Macao, just select the service shuttle near to the place or area you are heading.
I've been in Macao with a daytrip from HK, too. In March.If you stay in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST)area you can take ferry at CHINA FERRY HARBOUR (close to Kowloon PARK) http://www.nwff.com.hk/eng/fare_table/local-macau/?section=Macautake with you a jacket for air conditioning inside ferry!in MAcao I suggest you to avoid Casino area if not interested to have a tour inside one of this building and go in the historical part (if I well remember with bus 12) and walk around.For lunch I can suggest you restaurant: A Lorcha (at lunch time the close around 15 o'clock if I'mk not wrong) close to a nice TEmple.I had a great codfish with potatos, there! :-)Hong kong is very safe at every time in the day and in the night but also in Macao i didn't feel unsafe.hope you wil enjoy these places as me and in HK in cannot miss : Big Buddha in LAndau island and TAI O (fisherman village). But go there at the...
Found it! You've got to download the Macau Tourism's english language brochure on sightseeing Macau and on the last page of the brochure, is the bus program with destinations. Not exactly a bus route map but it at least gives you some ideas. It takes a few minutes to download the whole brochure but you can try this link first:http://www.macautourism.gov.mo/documents/pdf/brochure_heritage_en_20090826.pdf
It's possible but it'd be a lot of hassle with only about 4-5 hours of quality time in Macau. From HK International Airport there are direct ferry's to Macau and they leave 6 times per day. You might want to go to the Turbojet website to check the departure times, both going to Macau and returning to HK International. I have posted a 'tip' about this previously and you can retreive it from my 'pages'.While it's possible I can't say whether it's worth your while. Macau has got great food and lots of culture and history so I'd recommend staying in the main district of Leal Senado Plaza where you're a short walk to St Paul Ruins (the iconic graphic of Macau), and the Macau Museum. With a good walking map (free from their tourist office) it's not difficult to navigate the streets.You'll have to return to HK International at least 2.5 hours before your departure and you'll have to factor in...
The best way to get from Hong Kong to Macau (or vice versa) is to take the fast hydrofoil ferry operated by TurboJET. The journey takes about an hour to cover the 60km but isn't that cheap. The ferry departs from the HK-Macau Ferry Terminal at Sheung Wan, just to the west of Central, on Hong Kong Island. Services run between Hong Kong to Macau (and vice versa) from 07:00 to 23:59 and depart every 15 minutes. Tickets cost around HK$135-142 for economy and can be bought at the ticket counters in the terminal buildings. The ferry is very quick, one of the fastest boats I've ever been on and you really whizz past slower vessels once you're out of Hong Kong Harbour.
Using the bus services here actually is a reliable and efficient way to get around Macau. Almost all the important spots are served by bus services. However, knowing which bus to take or which bus goes from point A to B can be a tedious job. One way is to actually ask people around, but chances are they are HKers who may not know as well. Although buses provide route details at bus stops, it is still hard to plan and buses often use a loop services instead of bi-directional routes.Another issue would be paying for bus fare. Although it is cheap MOP2.5-4, you need to make sure you have small changes to pay or else, you will end up paying MOP10 for a MOP2.5 trip. If that is the chance, it is best to take a cab.Oh bus stops are not sheltered, so good luck on a very hot day.
Our fares:-From the Ferry terminal to Senado Square = HKD 26From Senado Square to Ferry Terminal = HKD 29There's no taxi stand at Senado Square, so you just need to wait at the same place you were dropped off at Senado Square.They do accept HKD, Macao Patacas and China Renminbi too.
Locals don't ride bikes in Macau. Why?If you are planning to rent a bike while staying in Macau, I would advice not to do so. The Macau's boom is a reality and so is the traffic, getting worse and worse everyday ... and dangerous as well.The best ways to get acquainted with the city is by walking and by bus. Macau streets are narrow and riding a bike is definitely not a good idea, simply because of the innumerous cars, scooters and trucks circulating in the city. And don't forget that in many streets of the city there are vehicles parking in both sides.
