Although Macao is relatively small, the chances of encountering tourist traps are quite high if you don’t plan ahead! I’ve compiled some tips and important information that I hope will be helpful for those about to visit Macao.
💡 Tips to Keep in Mind:
Taxis are quite expensive 🚕: The starting fare for taxis in Macao is 21 MOP, and fares can add up quickly. I recommend making good use of public transportation instead.
Be mindful of tipping 💰: I once took a taxi for 5 kilometers, and it cost me 60 MOP. If the driver assists you with your luggage, it’s customary to tip them extra.
Wear comfortable shoes 👟: While Macao isn’t large, you’ll do a lot of walking. It’s really important to wear comfortable shoes; otherwise, your feet may suffer!
Age restrictions for entertainment venues 🎲: You must be at least 21 years old to enter casinos, and you’ll need to show ID.
No photography in casinos 🎥: Make sure not to take photos or videos inside the casinos to avoid trouble with security.
Don’t forget a power bank 🔋: Charging stations for power banks can be hard to find in Macao, so it’s best to bring your own!
Bus seating etiquette 🚌: The red seats on buses are reserved for the elderly, disabled, and those in need, so try to avoid sitting there.
Other important reminders 🚦: Don’t jaywalk, don’t smoke in non-smoking areas, don’t bring e-cigarettes.
I have won a considerable amount of money in Macau, and it is legal there.
