One of the interesting things to experience when visiting Guia Fortress is the short stretch of war tunnels there were constructed in the 1930s. You can walk through one of the tunnels from the front to the back of the fortress. It is lined with old pictures of Macau and some general information about the tunnel layout, construction and usage. Opening hours are 10am to 5pm daily. Worth a few minutes of your time when visiting the fort.

The Guia Military tunnels are part of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Guia Fortress located upon the top of Guia Hill, overlooking the city of Macau. The Fort hours are 9am to 5.30pm but the tunnels are only open from 10am to 5pm - worth keeping in mind if you intend to visit in the morning and want to enter the tunnel.
In short, the Guia tunnels were designed as an air raid shelter. There is a small stretch that you can enter in front of the Guia Fort and walk through, coming out the other end of the Fort. The entire walk through the tunnel last just a couple of minutes. You will find general information and maps detailing the full extend of the tunnels upon Guia Hill, most of which are not open to the public. There are some pictures along the tunnel walls as well.
In the end, the Guia Military Tunnels are an interesting part of the Guia Hill and Fort experience. They are not essential to see but are quick, convenient and free so why not have a look if you plan to spend time at Guia Hill during your visit to Macau.
Note: You can walk (more like hike) up the trails leading to Guia Hill. These require time and effort, not the best choice for those visiting on a day trip or trying to squeeze in as much sightseeing as possible during short stays in Macau. If this is you - take a taxi!
Note: For families with a bit more time, a fun way to visit Guia Hill and Fort is by way of the Guia Cable Car, located at nearby Flores Garden. Rides are cheap (MOP2 single ride, MOP3 return) and take just a few minutes. There is never a crowd either. Cable Car terminus is located at the entrance to the garden.
