About Macao for visitors

Macao (Macau) is a former Portuguese colony turned gambling haven just across the water from Hong Kong. Visitors mix gaming, Portuguese-influenced Creole cuisine, colonial architecture, and temples into quick trips from Hong Kong or longer stays hunting restaurants and less-crowded beaches than nearby rivals.

Macau International (MFM) is modern and compact, about 6 kilometers from downtown. Most travelers arrive via ferry from Hong Kong, which includes immigration at both departure and arrival points. The airport's immigration is simple and quick, usually 5–10 minutes. English is adequate at the airport but less common in the wider city.
