- mfilcol2014Lisbon, Portugal1,760 contributionsLocated next to the Ruins of São Paulo, after a short walk, visiting this fortress is worth it. It is an old fort built by the Portuguese and now transformed into a historic building. The view over the city is unique and the walk along its walls is very pleasantWritten April 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MikybkkBangkok, Thailand113 contributionsThis museum, besides being situated on a beautiful viewpoint, is interested and worth a trip if you want to see how the life in the old Portuguese enclave of Macau was. I enjoyed the history.Written March 25, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CanuckJamesNishinomiya, Japan1,754 contributionsIf you like motor racing, this place is AWESOME.
They highlight different types of racing that happen in Macau. The Grand Prix Race includes the GT Race, Formula 3 race, and the Grand Prix Motorcycle Race.
They also have VR motorcycle racing, (I got queasy), VR video games in an open-wheel racing car, pit tire change, reaction speed training, and winner's champagne spray.
It is well worth the price of $80 MOP.Written March 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Unfortunately none of it is in English and that was a big disappointment. There are plenty of hands on activities for the kids so I would recommend it anyway.Written January 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tobias SSheffield, UK69 contributions4 out of 5 houses (1 living museum, 1 book store, 2 art galleries) are open for free admission so definitely worth a visit if you are in the taipa/cotai area. (approx 30 minutes of visit) The museum is an exhibit of Macanese lifestyle and it's fascinating to see how Portuguese cultures and lifestyle evolved in the Orient. The book store was cute and bougie, we bought a ceramic Portuguese tart cup, some art prints, and handcrafted magnets as souvenirs. Would be great if most bungalows here are converted into living museums because 1 is clearly not enough. Make sure you check out the nearby park and marsh if you're not a fan of casinos.Written September 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MikeCMelbourneMelbourne, Australia198 contributionsNice museum with plenty of miniature ships and description of fishermen's life in Macau. Just opposite A Ma's temple so it is worthwhile just to drop by. Only a small entrance fee.Written January 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KMBH NZMasterton, New Zealand169 contributionsWe loved this as it was completely new for us. We left unsure though if we had seen it all. I found the app not as helpful as I hoped to help navigate. I think it’d be very useful before entering to know what you had to search out and find so you got to see it all.
The add on is totally worth it as the orchid one is particularly beautiful and incredible.Written May 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I like the steep long corridor connecting 4/F and 3/F, seems walking through a space tunnel under sun. Exhibitions are along good, sometime from China with historical value and sometime contemporary. Always free admission.Written November 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DK.RooneyBayswater, Australia167 contributionsWe could only see the state from a distance as the complex was closed for works being carried out. The statue is none the less magnificent to view, even if from a distance. I would like to return when works are completed.Written April 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,284 contributionsThis small museum, housed in the former Taipa city hall, offers a brief overview of local history. It sketches the development of the area from regional backwater to the more advanced present. It is interesting to know that shipbuilding and firecracker production were two major industries in the area. Free admission.Written December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BradHong Kong, China174,793 contributionsSt. Joseph has long been one of my favourite of the UNESCO World Heritage churches scattered across the Historic Centre of Macau. Here you find a charming church on Rua do Seminario just a couple minutes walk southwest of St. Lawrence's Church. The seminary and church was constructed by the Jesuits in 1758 and has a rich local history as a centre of Christian missionary around Asia. Opening hours are 10am to 5pm daily and entry is free.
What you will see is church placed up a set of steps, just like the old Church of Mater Dei (called the Ruins of St. Paul's) and delightful facade and charming interior makes for a very nice sightseeing experience but with a fraction of the number of tourists as what you see at fellow World Heritage attractions around Senado Square. Further, like St. Dominic's Church, there is adjacent Treasure of the Sacred Arts Museum at St. Joseph's if you want to see 18th to early 20th century religious artefacts. Allow 20-30 minutes for a combined visit of the church and museum.Written December 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There’s a performance space and lots more.
A calm oasis of creativity that we will happily return to.Written August 5, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - SoniNavneetRaiAmsterdam, The Netherlands532 contributionsThis UNESCO world heritage site is located in Senado square.
You may see inside items of donated sacrificial offerings like a portrait of Sacred Heart of Jesus, ivory sculpture of Madonna, a sculpture of Jesus on the Cross & some porcelain. The most precious relic in the Museum of Holy House of Mercy is a manual script of Regulations of Macau’s Holy House of Mercy which was written in 1662.
Entry fee is MOP 5 for adults. students & elderly (above 65 years) can enter for free. Timing 10 am to 5.30 pm.

The receptionist asked if I had seen the Handover Museum next door and mentioned that it also had an art collection.
I hadn’t so headed over. Entry was free and there were certainly lots of visitors, mostly I guessed from mainland China. Museum is spread over three levels and have an exhibition of gifts given to Macau by various provinces of China on its return to the motherland. Many beautiful art works on display with excellent layout.
There is a mix of conventional art work in one gallery - primarily contemporary with some modern with some excellent paintings of Macau and also of the HK - Macau bridge construction.
There are many large gifts in the other hall . Some of precious metal with stones, others of embroidered silk etc. A monumental sculpture from the Thai people of an elephant head and another from elsewhere of a temple. A wonder mixture and you can spend a couple of hours walking around here. A very pleasant museum to spend the afternoon.Written December 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Opens 7 days 10:30am to 19:00.
The only rest day is first Monday of every month.
It shows how the Pawn shop stored their goods. How a Pawn shop looks like inside. Interesting. 15 minutes visit will do.Written April 3, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
