Author's Profile Picture
Macau Airport Guide

Macau’s appeal starts well beyond the casino floor: Portuguese-style squares, busy neighbourhood bakeries and an excuse to order another egg tart. Before you get to any of that, though, there’s an arrival decision to make. Should you fly into Macau Airport, or land in Hong Kong and travel across the bridge? This guide covers Macau International Airport, getting to your hotel, airport lounges and the different ways to travel between Hong Kong Airport and Macau.

The Free Hotel Shuttle Bus from Macau Airport

Yes, it’s real! There’s a free hotel shuttle bus that goes between Macau Airport to several popular hotels in the city, such as The Venetian, The Londoner, and Galaxy Macau. You don’t have to be a guest at these hotels to take the shuttle either; just hop on at the airport and hop off when you like!

Catching the Public Bus from the Airport to Macau 

To find the bus into the city, simply exit the terminal from the arrivals hall, and follow the signs for public transport. The standard cash bus fare is MOP6. Have the exact amount ready because buses do not give change. Macau Pass is another payment option. Use the transport authority’s route information to find a stop near your actual hotel. 

Macau Light Rapid Transit

Another convenient option to get into the city is via Macau’s LRT. Once you’ve gotten your luggage, follow signs to Airport Station beside the terminal. The Taipa Line serves the Taipa and Cotai area and continues to Barra on the peninsula. Adult single-journey fares across the network are MOP6, MOP8, MOP10 or MOP12, depending on the trip.

Taipa Line service hours are:

  • Monday–Thursday: 6:30 am–11:15 pm.
  • Friday–Sunday and public holidays: 6:30 am–11:59 pm.

Getting a Taxi from Macau Airport

Like all airports, you’ll find the taxi queue directly outside the arrivals hall.  the official taxi queue. The published starting fare is MOP21 for the first 1.6 km, with MOP2 for each additional 220 metres. Airport pick-ups add MOP8, and luggage in the boot costs MOP3 per item.

Keep some local cash available and show the driver the hotel address. For a group, splitting the fare can make this a sensible choice.

Should I Fly to Macau or Hong Kong from Australia? 

The easy answer is that you’re visiting Macau, flying into Macau is usually the better option. But that's only if you can find a flight time that suits you; there are more frequent flights to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) from major Australian capital cities, and it's also not that far away from Macau. Your best bet is to check prices and dates for both airports from Australia to see which one is cheaper and more convenient for you. 

If you’re flying to Hong Kong, you’ll have to travel to Macau by coach or ferry (more details below). This adds a border transfer, but it can work well.

How to Get from Hong Kong Airport to Macau

Decided to fly into Hong Kong instead of Macau? You can either get to Macau directly from the airport without passing through Hong Kong immigration, or go into the city before making your way across the border.

SkyPier Transfer Coach

Your best bet is to catch the SkyPier bus, which lets you skip going through immigration in Hong Kong. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: After landing, follow the signs inside the Hong Kong Airport terminal to Mainland/Macao and Transfer Area.
  • Step 2: Purchase your bus tickets in Transfer Area E2.
  • Step 3: Give the staff your baggage tag receipts so they can organise your luggage for you, making sure it will arrive at the SkyPier terminal.
  • Step 4: You’ll then get on the Automated People Mover (APM) which will take you to the SkyPier terminal, where you can collect your bags and board your bus to Macau. 

The bus from SkyPier terminal goes directly to HZMB Macau Port, where you will then pass through Macau’s immigration. 

High-Speed Ferry from Hong Kong to Macau

Ferries run between Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan and Macau, with the crossing taking around an hour. It’s a useful option if you’re spending time in Hong Kong before continuing your trip.

Choose your arrival terminal around where you’re staying. Outer Harbour puts you on the Macau Peninsula, while Taipa is more convenient for Cotai’s resorts and Macau Airport. TurboJET serves both terminals, and Cotai Water Jet runs between Sheung Wan and Taipa.

If you’re coming straight from Hong Kong Airport, you’ll first need to clear immigration, collect your bags and travel into Sheung Wan.

Fastest and easiest way to get to Macau from Hong Kong. The border control was smooth, and we were able to board early ferry because there it was vacant.

Public Bridge Shuttle: Travel via Hong Kong Port

This route is useful when you’ve already entered Hong Kong or an airside departure doesn’t suit you.

  • Step 1: Clear Hong Kong immigration and collect your luggage.
  • Step 2: Take the B4 bus or a taxi to HZMB Hong Kong Port.
  • Step 3: Complete Hong Kong departure formalities.
  • Step 4:Take the bridge shuttle on the Macao route.
  • Step 5:Clear Macau immigration and continue to your hotel.

To get to the Hong Kong Port in the first place, the B4 Bus Route is what you’ll need. The Bridge Shuttle will take about 40 minutes once you’re on the bus.

Food, Shopping, Wi-Fi and Luggage Storage at Macau Airport

Where to Eat and Shop

If you’re hungry before check-in, head upstairs to the public mezzanine, where you’ll find McDonald’s, Macau Daily and Starbucks. McDonald’s opens at 6 am, making it an option for breakfast before an early flight.

There’s more choice after security. China Garden, Good Fortune Kitchen and Pepper Lunch Express are on the mezzanine, along with Zhen Dim Sum Kitchen on the southern side. For a coffee before boarding, there’s Blooom Coffee in the northern departures area and another Starbucks after security. Pepper Lunch Express stays open until 11:30 pm, while San Mou I lists service through to the last departure.

Forgot to pick up a gift? Koi Kei Bakery has an outlet on the northern mezzanine after security, so there’s another chance to buy something from one of Macau’s best-known souvenir bakeries. You’ll also find DUTY ZERO by cdf on the way towards Gates 1–9 for a browse before boarding.

Food, Shopping, Wi-Fi and Luggage Storage at Macau Airport

Wi-Fi and Mobile Data

There’s free Wi-Fi at Macau Airport, so you can get online without switching on your Australian roaming. Once you leave the terminal, an eSIM is handy for finding your hotel and checking transport routes. Choose a plan that explicitly includes Macau; if your trip also takes you through Hong Kong, a package covering both saves you setting up a second connection.

Luggage Storage

Have a few hours to explore before your flight? You can leave your suitcase at the airport’s 24-hour luggage-storage counter, on the departures level before security.

Storage costs MOP10 per bag per hour, capped at MOP80 for 24 hours. That makes a four-hour outing MOP40 per bag, while anything from eight to 24 hours costs MOP80. Part-hours are rounded up, so four hours and ten minutes counts as five hours.

Keep your collection receipt—you’ll need it to get your bags back. If you’re spending your final day near your hotel, asking reception to hold your luggage may save you a trip to the airport.

Huge thanks to Hotel Riviera Macau for making my birthday so enjoyable and memorable!

Definitely avoid the smoking rooms – they reek of damp and mold. The non-smoking rooms, however, are excellent, with fresh air and comfortable bedding. A big shout-out to Manager Cai for helping us switch rooms; it really saved our trip! The shower's hot and cold water mixing was a bit inconsistent, alternating between hot and cold every couple of seconds, but the water pressure was decent. While Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16's facilities are indeed a bit dated, its location is superb. It's just a 6-7 minute walk to Senado Square, and the bus stop right outside offers great connections everywhere. You can scan the QR code on the bus driver's window with WeChat to get a payment code, then scan that code on the sensor to pay for your ride with WeChat. And for a true culinary delight, Geng Ji Dim Sum, located near the hotel, is hands down the best Cantonese dim sum you'll find.

Staying at the Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau was a pleasant surprise, offering a 'quiet oasis in the bustling city' feel. The lobby is understated yet stylish, and the room's floor-to-ceiling windows face the Sands, providing unexpectedly beautiful night views. The Portuguese charm truly made it, with impeccable aesthetics and thoughtful details. It’s not an over-the-top luxury, but it's comfortable and has a quality feel. I'd definitely want to come back.

This time for our family trip to Macau, we chose Studio City. In a nutshell: everything about this hotel is great, except for the rooms. For nearly two thousand a night (breakfast not included), opening the room door was a disappointment. The space was average, and the facilities were quite old. The room view was nothing special. The room quality was basically on par with an older 5-star hotel costing a few hundred yuan. However, the room snacks and minibar were free, and they also provided children's toiletries, so the service was still very good. On the first floor, there are many food and beverage shops, and even a Donki. On the third floor, you can ride the Ferris wheel, and the outdoor pool is also excellent. The kids had a fantastic time.

Every time I visit Macau, I always stay at the Grand Lisboa. If you're looking for a hotel on the peninsula, the Grand Lisboa is definitely the most convenient and best value for money. It's very close to the Square and the Ruins of St. Paul's, and shopping is incredibly easy. It's about a seven or eight-minute walk to Wynn to see the Tree of Prosperity. The hotel's breakfast buffet and dinner are also of very good quality.

I've stayed at the Rio Hotel many times, and it's always been perfect. In Macau, where real estate is so expensive, the room rates here are incredibly affordable, which is a huge plus. The surrounding area is also very convenient, with plenty of dining options; there's a Cafe de Coral downstairs and a supermarket right across the street. It's also not far from the casinos, about a 5-8 minute walk. The rooms are really spacious, which I truly appreciate. I love this hotel; at the very least, I can sleep soundly without feeling cramped.

I was genuinely impressed by the hotel and its overall ambiance. The property has a charming, coastal elegance that gave me beautiful Brighton vibes, making the stay feel both relaxing and memorable. The room was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, with a bathtub that added an extra touch of luxury. The staff also provided everything I needed throughout my stay. While I found the service to be somewhat reserved and less accommodating than I had expected, I understand that this may simply be a difference in culture and hospitality style. Aside from that, I had a wonderful experience. The hotel itself was beautifully maintained, peaceful, and comfortable. One of the highlights of my stay was having the pool almost entirely to myself, which made the experience feel especially private and relaxing. Overall, it was a lovely stay, and I would happily consider returning in the future.

The check-in process was efficient and thoughtful. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the overall service exceeded our expectations. The dining was also good. The staff at the second-floor restaurant were all kind and amiable. Our stay was very pleasant, and we would choose this hotel again if we're in the outer harbor area of Macau. Although the hotel doesn't offer free shuttle service to the ferry terminal, it does have a free bus to Gongbei Port. From there, it's convenient to transfer to various hotel shuttles to explore Taipa.

Overall, I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The facilities are magnificent, the room was very comfortable, and the service was remarkable for the vast majority of my stay. I truly enjoyed the experience and, in many respects, the establishment deserves its five-star reputation. However, I do want to mention an important point for future guests regarding the hotel's transportation service. On the night of the fireworks, the hotel transported us to old Macau. We naturally assumed we could also use the hotel's transportation to return after the event. However, upon returning, we learned that the buses were reserved for VIP guests and that we couldn't board. Therefore, I recommend that future guests clearly check with the hotel, before departing, if the offered transportation also includes the return journey and if it is accessible to all guests or only to VIP guests. This information was not clear to us, and we ended up having to arrange our own transportation to get back to the hotel. I can perfectly understand that a bus might be full or that the hotel has a particular policy for certain guests. What was most disappointing was how the situation was handled. A staff member spoke to us very abruptly and raised their voice, even though we were simply trying to understand how to get back to the hotel. I reported the situation to the hotel upon my return. I was listened to, but unfortunately, no one contacted me the next day to follow up or simply acknowledge what had happened. It's a shame, because apart from this incident, my stay was truly excellent. A simple gesture of attention or a follow-up from management would probably have completely changed my impression of this situation. Despite everything, I still have a very good overall impression of the hotel and the quality of its facilities. I just hope that the round-trip transportation service will be explained more clearly to future guests and that this type of situation will be handled better in the future.

Plus, she spoke Korean quite well! Not a single staff member, whether in the sauna or anywhere else, was anything but friendly. Because of this, I'd rate it even higher than its excellent sauna, swimming pool, and delicious breakfast restaurant. It's a place I happily return to again and again. I'll be back soon! Oh, and I'm hoping for some changes to the room service menu. Haha.

There's no **car**, but there's a bus stop nearby. If you're not familiar with the area, you won't know how to take the bus.

This hotel offers excellent service. I was a bit worried at first because it's an older hotel, but when I arrived, I found that the facilities and equipment were meticulously maintained, and the cleanliness was impeccable. There were no 'legendary' creepy crawlies. The hotel's laundry room has plenty of machines, so you don't have to worry about waiting in line. There's also a gym and a swimming pool. For dining, there are both Chinese and Western restaurants, and a coffee shop on the ground floor with pretty good coffee. I stayed for two consecutive days and really appreciate the service from the front desk. As a first-timer in Macau 🇲🇴, I felt very well taken care of, and they helped me solve many annoying little problems! The housekeeping team was also very thoughtful; in the morning, I forgot to close my door while resting in the room, and when they saw me come out, they specifically reminded me. The price offers incredible value for money (compared to similarly priced hotels in Hong Kong, it's truly a no-brainer). Within 1 kilometer, there are affordable supermarkets and local eateries, and you can also walk to Grand Lisboa and New Yaohan, making it very convenient for exploring.

The experience exceeded my expectations and was absolutely wonderful! 🎉 I especially want to give a shout-out to Emma and Gary at the front desk. They upgraded my room and even provided a small gift for my colleague's birthday 🎂! Their service was super excellent. Full marks! The location is fantastic – close to everything. Since it's an apartment-style hotel, the room facilities are comprehensive and well-equipped! 👍 There are three restaurants on the ground floor of the hotel. You can't really talk about high value for money here, but it's fair and worth what you pay for. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Macau 🇲🇴.

The Regency Art Hotel in Macau for its highly competitive room rates, spacious accommodations with sweeping ocean views, and a relaxing waterfront location in Taipa. It provides resort-style amenities, including a seasonal outdoor pool, a fully equipped gym, spa facilities, and squash courts. • Outstanding Value: Travelers often book the Regency Art Hotel to enjoy larger-than-average rooms and a classic, grand aesthetic at a fraction of the cost of newer, luxury mega-resorts. • Spacious and Bright Rooms: The guest rooms are noticeably larger than many city alternatives, with large windows offering fantastic ocean views. • Prime Taipa Location: Situated near the Altira and University of Macau, the hotel serves as a quiet retreat away from the busy Cotai Strip, while still offering quick access to local buses and free ferry shuttle services. • Extensive Leisure Facilities: Guests can take advantage of a large outdoor seasonal swimming pool, racquetball and squash courts, a gym, and a spa and wellness center. • Unique Artistic Vibe: The lobby and common areas boast vibrant, elegant, and distinctive decor that sets it apart from standard chain hotels. It is a really old hotel and it has been renovated in sometime, but the thing that makes this place of steel is the attached resort. A great find if you're looking to relax and get away from the over air-conditioned adult oriented pressure cooker of the casinos on the strip. The breakfast buffet offers a little bit of everything including Western favourites, Chinese items and even some Indian choices.

They found out it was my husband's birthday and specially decorated the room, even upgrading our room type – that was incredibly thoughtful! Everything else was great, and with a bus stop right downstairs, getting around was super convenient. If I had one minor complaint, it would be about the Fuguilou (Rich Tower) building – perhaps because it's newer, the bath towels shed a lot of lint. After drying off, my body and face were covered in fuzz, which was quite annoying. The smaller hand towels didn't have this problem. Also, the soundproofing in the room wasn't the best. But these are minor issues, and the value for money is exceptional. Highly recommend!

This is my fourth time staying at Wynn Palace, and I keep choosing it because the Wynn Palace team is incredibly dedicated and attentive to guests' needs; every single team member is exceptionally friendly. During check-in, Mr. Terry Ng Ka Wah assisted me. Not only was he polite and efficient throughout the process, but what truly surprised me was that he remembered me at check-out, even greeting me warmly and proactively. This level of thoughtfulness and professionalism, truly putting guests at the heart of their service, made me feel incredibly valued and warm inside. Beyond Terry's excellent service, the entire hotel's facilities maintenance and cleanliness remain at an exceptionally high standard. From room tidiness to the smallest details in public areas, everything reflects the meticulousness expected of a five-star luxury hotel. Each time I return here, I genuinely experience that relaxing, 'home away from home' feeling. Thanks to Terry and the Wynn Palace team for yet another perfect stay. This is precisely why I keep coming back. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Swimming pool

This stay at the Grand Hyatt Macau was very satisfying. Even after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather remained scorching hot. I tried out the pool facilities; it's a small, standard pool where you can actually swim, unlike other hotels whose pools are designed more for wading or soaking. There were even a few competitive swimmers timing themselves here. Looking around, I also noticed a small, heated round pool, which I unfortunately only saw when I was leaving. I personally prefer the Grand Hyatt Macau's design because everything adheres to American standards. This means higher ceilings, tall bathroom doors, wide entryways, and spacious elevators – none of that cramped feeling you get in some other hotels. My stay was between two holidays, after the Mid-Autumn Festival and before China's National Day, so it wasn't crowded at all, allowing for a bit more tranquility. The only minor drawback was the central air conditioning; I couldn't find the thermostat to adjust the temperature in the middle of the night. When I checked in, I also had a friendly chat with the front desk agent about the difference between booking on a platform and booking directly on their official website. Even as a member, there aren't many discounts available for booking. If the hotel could offer more incentives for members, I believe I'd stay here more often. I usually opt for The Parisian Macao or Studio City Macau, staying more frequently at a lower price point versus a more expensive hotel where I'd only stay once or twice. But of course, price control is part of a high-end brand's image. Each has its own business strategy.

This was my first time in Macau, and I'm so glad I chose this hotel – I'm really satisfied. First off, the location is excellent; it's a bustling area, and right downstairs there's a free shuttle pick-up point for the Venetian. The iconic Grand Lisboa hotel is also just a five or six-minute walk away. The room was much bigger than I expected, and it was fully equipped with everything I needed. The front desk staff and the luggage storage attendants in the lobby were all very friendly and polite. If I ever get the chance to visit Macau again, I'll definitely choose this hotel.

The room was spacious enough, and even though it was a city view, I could still see the harbor, and the night view was fantastic! The staff, from check-in/check-out at the front desk to room service, all had excellent service awareness, making me feel incredibly welcomed and comfortable.

The front desk staff were very friendly, polite, and attentive, providing us with great convenience and excellent check-in arrangements. The hotel environment is extremely comfortable, featuring Macau's only beach, sea views, and a resort setting surrounded by trees, which allowed us to feel utterly comfortable, relaxed, and truly on vacation. The hotel's breakfast buffet was also very good. Overall, the stay was an excellent experience and left a deep impression. The Grand Coloane Resort will definitely be our top choice for our next relaxing getaway in Macau.

In today's landscape of luxurious hotels, St. Regis continues to stand out with its impeccable service. The genuine warmth and friendliness of the front desk staff set a tone of honored hospitality for this trip. After check-in, a staff member named Chris personally escorted us to our room and meticulously introduced us to all the facilities. During our conversation, he gently mentioned the brand's proud signature butler service – a reassuring feeling of being on-call yet never intrusive. Although we only stayed for one night and were in a hurry, we couldn't fully experience the charm of the butler service. However, this meticulous hospitality was enough to give us a glimpse into St. Regis's ultimate pursuit of professionalism and craftsmanship. What was particularly captivating was the extended breakfast period, stretching from 7 AM until 1 PM. This thoughtful gesture is undoubtedly a romantic gift for late risers. There's no need to rush; you can leisurely enjoy it as a lavish brunch in a quiet, elegant, and peaceful environment, accompanied by the morning light and grace, starting the new day with sophistication.

The location is fantastic! As soon as you exit the hotel, turn left, and you're right on the path to the Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Na Tcha Temple, and the Ruins of St. Paul's. It's incredibly close. Plus, there are tons of snack shops and boutiques downstairs. Here's the best part: the free shuttle for the Grand Lisboa is only about 200-300 meters away (that's the Grand Lisboa shuttle, not the Lisboa's, and the Grand Lisboa is right next to the Lisboa). This area offers excellent value for money.

The hotel is a bit old, so the facilities feel a bit dated, but the cleaning lady was very enthusiastic, and the linens were clean. There's renovation work going on in the building, so it was noisy. The absolute best thing about this place is its location. It's perfect for anyone looking to do a deep dive into Macau's casinos. Wynn and StarWorld casinos are right across the street, and it's just a few minutes' walk to the old and new Grand Lisboa. After clearing customs at Gongbei Port, you can take the free shuttle bus from Wynn or StarWorld directly here. I'll definitely stay here again next time, and I'm sure by then the renovations will be finished and the room facilities improved.

Convenient Stay in the Heart of the City We stayed one night at Towns Well Motel and had a pleasant experience. The motel is in a strategic location, surrounded by plenty of shops, restaurants, and local eateries, making it very convenient for travelers. Within a 10-minute walk, you can easily enjoy shopping at popular stores such as SaSa, Nike, Adidas, and Puma, as well as explore the nearby food and beverage options. The room was spacious enough for a comfortable stay, and the bathroom was clean and well maintained. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable and conveniently located accommodation for a short stay.

Stayed here couple of times before. Hotel is decent and clean. However they downgraded the breakfast quite a bit (at least for westerners). For example the only bread choice is cheap, not fresh baguette. Also there is no yoghurt or bacon whatsoever. The eggs are ok since those are freshly cooked for each order. Also they decided not to offer bottled water on the room anymore and instead you have to go with a can to the outside floor to refill It from a third party water tank. There is even a note on the machine that the hotel does not take any responsibility for the quality of the water. Very strange. That’s why I give it 7/10, used to be 9/10 for me. Next stay in Macau I probably stay somewhere else.

The location is a bit close to the East Asian Games Dome. A taxi from Macau Airport costs around 60 MOP. It's about a 13-15 minute walk from the Grand Lisboa Palace, but if you're not familiar with the area, be aware that there are slopes and you can't just cross the road anywhere. If you have a lot of luggage or small children, just take a taxi! Check-in was smooth. I was worried about the room card, so I didn't book through an agent. I really liked the highest room type! It has a 'hui' character layout with a three-part bathroom for privacy, and the sofa bed in the living room can be opened with bedding provided! They gave us a birthday cake upon check-in and plenty of bottled water. We also received skip-the-line tickets for the Wynn Palace gondola, a voucher for MaMi Egg Waffles, two 50 MOP Angel's Cafe vouchers, and a shopping mall discount booklet! You can get 20% off go-karting and souvenirs! Business was good, and they allowed a late checkout until 12 PM. Express checkout and free luggage storage were also available! Although there's no casino, there are shuttle buses to Wynn Palace, but airport buses are less frequent! Our room type included three breakfasts, but if yours doesn't, you can find a better deal on Dianping for group-buy breakfasts! The room was quiet and clean! Perfect for adult children traveling with their parents!
