Where to Go: Macau-Taipa Cotai Area - Worth It & Luxurious

If it's your first time visiting Macau, you need to know these two things. Macau is divided into two main areas: Macau Taipa/Cotai Strip and Macau Peninsula. Taipa/Cotai is more about modern resorts, luxurious buildings, and casinos. On the other hand, Macau Peninsula is more historical, with many remnants of Portuguese colonial history. The vibes of these two areas are quite different. This time, I'll focus on Taipa Cotai. Taipa Cotai features many resorts with themes inspired by various countries. Each resort is close to one another and includes hotels, malls, and casinos. Here's a list of the places I've visited and found most worth it. Make sure to save this before your trip 🔖👇 1. The Venetian Macao Experience Venice vibes with canal gondolas, luxury brand shopping, and aesthetic photo spots reminiscent of Italy. ✨ Tips: Try Lord’s Stow Bakery inside The Venetian. Their egg tarts are LEGENDARY and the most famous in Macau. Visit early to avoid long queues! 2. The Londoner Macao Iconic with its Big Ben and London vibe. Stepping inside feels like being in a "mini UK" — super photogenic. There are also many western restaurants and multi-brand stores. 3. The Parisian Macao Home to the Asian version of the Eiffel Tower! It's most stunning at night when the entire tower lights up. Perfect for romantic photos or night shots. 4. Studio City A Hollywood-themed resort. Great for those who enjoy rides and indoor attractions. The place is modern and fun! If you're traveling with kids, this is a great spot for family fun. 5. Galaxy Macau (Cotai) 💎 Stop by to watch the Diamond Show – a free attraction that lasts only 10 minutes but is incredibly grand and worth it! Plus, there are plenty of high-end shopping and dining options. 6. Wynn Palace 🚠 Try the FREE SkyCab/Cable Car that takes you up and down in front of the hotel. It's a must-do at night, and don't miss the spectacular fountain show while you're there.
