How to get there & around

Plan the connections

Getting there

Ferries, the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge and regional flights connect Macau. Entry rules should be checked separately.

Getting around & local life

Buses, taxis and walking cover most areas. Try Macanese dishes, almond pastries and Portuguese-style egg tarts from established shops.

Suggested itinerary

A flexible way to structure the stay

Start with the most time-sensitive attraction or landscape, keep one neighborhood or food-focused period unhurried, and place the longer excursion on a day with the best likely conditions. Vayora adjusts the order around opening arrangements, transport and your walking level.
