Itinerary

Ruins of St. Paul's

45 min

Stand before Macau’s most famous iconic landmark, a 17th-century Portuguese church façade built by Jesuits. Witness the extraordinary blend of European Renaissance. Learn about its dramatic history, from its role as Asia's first Western-style university complex to its survival after a tragic fire in 1835.
Travessa da Paixao

15 min

Stroll down this charming, 50-meter cobblestone lane tucked right beside the Ruins of St. Paul's. Famed for its romantic pastel-pink and warm yellow European-style buildings with green wooden shutters, it offers one of the best frame-worthy photo opportunities looking back up at the St. Paul's façade.
Monte Forte (Fortaleza do Monte)

40 min

Explore Macau’s historical military defense center built atop Mount Hill between 1617 and 1626. Walk along the historic stone ramparts, view the ancient iron cannons aimed across the city, and enjoy sweeping 360-degree panoramic views of the Macau Peninsula skyline, combining historical majesty with modern cityscapes.
Chapel of Our Lady of Penha

30 min

Ascend to the peaceful summit of Penha Hill in total comfort aboard your private MPV. Founded in 1622 by Portuguese sailors, this quiet hilltop chapel features a striking bell tower and a courtyard statue of the Virgin Mary. Take in breathtaking elevated views overlooking Nam Van Lake, the Macau Tower, and the cross-sea bridges connecting to Cotai.
Rua do Cunha

50 min

Cross over to Taipa Village and immerse yourself in Macau’s most vibrant pedestrian food street. Guided by your local expert, sample famous Macanese treats such as freshly baked Portuguese egg tarts, almond cakes, and pork chop buns while discovering the colorful colonial heritage buildings surrounding the village.
