Macau trip with
Borderly.

A 3-day trip is the ideal length for most visitors to experience the unique blend of UNESCO-listed Portuguese heritage and the high-octane luxury of the Cotai Strip. While Macau has its own international airport (MFM), many travelers arrive via ferry or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, as there are currently no direct flights from major hubs like India.

Getting Around Macau

Macau is highly walkable. For longer distances, the public bus system costs MOP 6.00 per ride. The Light Rapid Transit (LRT) in Taipa is an efficient way to zip between the airport and Cotai. Taxis start at MOP 19 and are metered, though demand can be high; avoid 'fixed-price' touts.
