FAQ
What season is most comfortable in Macau?
October to December is best, cool and with little rain. Spring is humid, summer is hot and typhoon-prone, and the feel is mediocre.
How to spend two to three days in Macau?
Half a day at the Ruins of St. Paul and the historic centre, half a day at the Cotai hotel cluster, and the rest at Rua do Cunha for food and the Macau Tower. The city is tiny—walk plus free shuttles.
