Macau Airport Guide: Arrivals, Getting To The City, & Whether Hong Kong Airport Is Better

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.

I'm a Japanese tourist visiting Hong Kong. Since I had some free time, I booked a TurboJET ferry to Macau. There was a limited-time discount, and I was able to book tickets for approximately 2,700 yen per person. A voucher with a QR code was issued through the Trip.com app, so I didn't need to exchange it for a physical ticket at the ferry terminal. I went to the boarding gate, had an attendant scan the QR code, and received a paper ticket. Boarding was easy, and the TurboJET operated almost exactly on time, making for a comfortable journey. I was able to get a window seat by asking an attendant, allowing me to enjoy the sea views from Hong Kong to Macau. The ferry seats don't recline, but they're at a comfortable angle, making for a pleasant ride. If the sea is calm, the rocking isn't too noticeable.

A very fast way to get from Hong Kong to Macau. We arrived on the 9:00 ferry, but there was a slot available for the 8:30 one, so we were allowed to board.

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.

The environment is incredibly quiet and beautiful, nestled on Bishop Hill with direct views of the Macau Tower. The service was excellent, especially the shuttle bus service which made getting around very convenient. The hotel staff were also very friendly and even upgraded our room for free. Housekeeping did a fantastic job keeping the room spotless during our extended stay. The hotel's breakfast buffet was wonderful and very satisfying. Cleanliness met five-star hotel standards. We've stayed here more than once, and overall it always feels very comfortable, like returning home each time.

We booked eight rooms for a family gathering and requested them to be on the same floor in advance. The hotel not only arranged it perfectly but also provided cakes and fruits. From the moment we checked in, our entire group experienced the hotel's incredibly warm and thoughtful service. I'd especially like to thank a waitress in the breakfast restaurant (I apologize for forgetting her name). I mentioned that my parents, who are early risers, wouldn't know how to use the coffee machine. She remembered this, and the next morning, she personally brought coffee to them. Thank you so much for your attentive service! The staff were consistently polite, whether we were at the pool, in the sauna, entering or leaving the lobby, in the restaurant, on our floor, or taking the shuttle bus. It was truly an excellent stay, and we will definitely choose Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau again on our next visit!

We booked this hotel for a staycation. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and pool. The room is also instagrammable. However, there was a strong smell inside when we arrived. The bathroom door is also hard to close and the toilet bowl is a bit broken. The water keeps on flowing when the flush button doesn’t bounce up. It will also be better if they have complete amenities, like shower cap, lotion and cotton buds that we can use. The shampoo and conditioner are also bad. Our hair was tangled and hard after using them.

Folks, let me tell you, for being in the city center, this is a pretty charming, decent, almost retro hotel. The staff are very pleasant and always smiling. There are tons of shops and restaurants around. Exchange offices are just 2 minutes away. If you see a more or less reasonable price around 500, it's better to book the hotel in advance if you need it for several days or a week, as the price changes daily from 500 to 900 closer to the weekends. Reading reviews of other hotels in the area that are cheaper, there have been cases of personal belongings and money being stolen from rooms. In any case, always be careful. It's better to overpay a hundred or two dollars for a few days than to lose half your cash and deal with the police. I'm sure it's safe here. For those who need it, there's a bathtub where you can relax. Overall, it's good, I like it here!!!🫶🧘🏻‍♂️💁‍♂️🍀

Better than expected! I'm really satisfied with the hotel's facilities, environment, and service. It's very well-maintained, so it doesn't feel like an old hotel at all. The room isn't huge, but it's much better than similar hotels in Hong Kong. Of course, don't compare it to a luxury five-star. Dining options nearby are also very convenient; you can walk to Grand Lisboa and Wynn, and Senado Square isn't far either. Highly recommended!

Miss Yuki at the front desk was absolutely wonderful – beautiful, sweet-voiced, and incredibly patient and thorough in explaining directions. She even anticipated our daily needs. The room she arranged had a great view, and she gave us some delicious complimentary cookies. The room itself was very spacious and the bedding was super comfortable. The only downside was a bit of noise from construction on the upper floors during our stay, but that's understandable. Macau is really great value for money right now; the room rate on the day of check-in was 200-300 cheaper than booking in advance, but there's not much you can do about that. Guests can also enjoy free access to the 7th floor of the Eiffel Tower.

This was my fourth visit to Macau, and I finally managed to book the Galaxy Hotel, which my mom had been longing for. It was truly excellent, the only hotel I've ever stayed at that allowed early check-in and extended our check-out time to 3 PM. Rachel, who checked us in, was particularly kind and professional. I really appreciate this kind of service. I learned that regular rooms are usually reserved for casino guests, and not always available to the public. The room size was just right, and all the drinks at the minibar were complimentary. The only minor downside is that the hotel is a bit older, so the power outlets and switches are a bit dated. Hotel guests get free access to the water park; I only had a quick splash this time as we didn't have much time, but I'll definitely go again next time. My mom said she wants to stay at another Galaxy-affiliated hotel next time. One thing to note is that the shuttle from Galaxy to the airport isn't on a continuous loop; it operates on a fixed schedule, so it's best to plan ahead to catch the right bus and avoid missing your flight.

The connecting room was very spacious, and we stayed for five nights. Our original room was on the second floor, but we paid extra to upgrade to the eighth floor. The sea view from the room was excellent. The hotel's breakfast and service were also great, and there's a daily shuttle to Grand Lisboa Palace. The only regret is that starting from the third night, I developed an itchy rash all over my body. My child also had it slightly, but he recovered within two days. Even after returning to Beijing from Macau, the rash continued, especially on my legs, to the point where I couldn't sleep at night due to the itching. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with insect bites, which can appear within 1-10 days, and it still hasn't cleared up. I suspect it might have been caused by dust mites in the hotel's bathrobes or bedding.

Hotels in Macau are so much better than those in Hong Kong, honestly. For a similar or even lower price, you get a much bigger room. I've stayed at the Londoner in Taipa before, but if you're looking to explore the old streets rather than just shopping malls and casinos, staying on the Macau Peninsula, in the old town, is much more convenient. This time, I chose the New Orient Landmark; it wasn't expensive, and the room was quite spacious. While it's not brand new, it's well-maintained. The room even came with a dehumidifier. It's a short walk to Wynn Macau, Lisboa, and Grand Lisboa. Strolling to the Ruins of St. Paul's and Rua de Cinco de Outubro is also easy. There are also buses nearby to Coloane and other areas. Really, the entire old town isn't that big; it feels like everything is within a three-kilometer radius. If you enjoy walking, you can get everywhere on foot. It was definitely a much better experience compared to the hotel I stayed at later in Hong Kong.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, right next to the Grand Lisboa Hotel. Although the decor reflects that of an older five-star hotel, it's incredibly well-maintained; all the facilities are perfectly functional and nothing looks worn out. During our stay, we even saw maintenance staff repainting doors in some rooms that had minor nicks. The room doors are quite solid, showing that a significant investment was made during the original renovation. Some details are very well-executed, such as a shower room that's slightly larger than average, a 'please wait' response button next to the toilet, and complimentary phone charging cables by the bed that don't require scanning. The shower pressure is strong, which was a plus. Breakfast was a bit simple, and the variety could be improved.

I was very satisfied with my stay this time, with the only issue being the lack of markings for the hot and cold water in the bathroom. My relatives and friends didn't know which taps were for hot and cold water. It was especially difficult for the elderly to adjust the water temperature for showering, so they ended up showering with cold water. It would be best if each bathroom clearly marked which way to turn for hot and cold water. I hope this can be improved next time. Everything else was excellent!

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.

The location is fantastic, just a 5-minute walk from the Lotus Square, so you can easily catch the flag-raising ceremony in the morning. The room was very upscale, with complimentary bottled water and disposable toiletries. It was also super convenient to catch the Sands shuttle. Plus, there's a 24-hour supermarket nearby – it has everything you could possibly need!

My wife and I stayed at Wynn Macau again from June 7-9, 2026. We returned because of our satisfying first experience. The front desk staff were attentive and polite, and they upgraded our room. The room was luxurious, spacious, and spotless, looking as good as new and well-maintained. At 'Wing Lei' restaurant, both breakfast and dinner offered exquisite food with a wide variety of choices at reasonable prices. Enjoying a coffee or beer at 'Wing Lei Bar' during leisure time was a delightful pleasure. I must especially mention that after checking out, I realized I had left my phone in the safe. Fortunately, the hotel team safely kept it, and with Ms. Mak Tsz Kuen (Manager)'s prompt contact and thoughtful arrangements, I was able to retrieve my phone. Many thanks! Wynn Macau consistently offers excellent dining and accommodation, along with professional service. It has always been my top choice. Thumbs up!

This hotel was truly amazing! Out of all the places I stayed during my five-day, four-night trip to Hong Kong and Macau – besides the Disneyland hotel, which I always love – this was by far the most attentive service I experienced in Macau. I checked in at 3 PM and just rested for a couple of hours. I didn't even head out for food until close to sunset. When I returned around 10 PM, I noticed that the covers I'd messed up had been neatly tidied, the toilet and sink were re-cleaned, and two new pairs of slippers were placed. It was clear a staff member had come in to service the room, and this was only a few hours after I'd first checked in, and I was just staying for one night in one room. So, given the spacious suite and its excellent location (close to the airport and ferry terminal), I honestly think this place is fantastic.

The hotel's location is excellent, directly opposite the Grand Lisboa and Wynn, and next to New Yaohan department store. There's a Venetian shuttle bus right in front, making it very close to various shopping and tourist attractions. This hotel has been recently renovated in the past few years, and the facilities are well-maintained. Breakfast generally meets expectations, and the lobby reception and service staff are very warm and attentive. Highly recommended.

If 100 is a perfect score, The St. Regis Macao deserves 200 points!!! This is a self-funded booking, absolutely not an ad. I travel to Macao for business every week and frequently stay in hotels. Past hotels include The Londoner, Conrad, The Parisian, The Venetian, Studio City, Altira, Art House, Grand Lisboa Palace (formerly Grand Hyatt Macau), and Sheraton… St. Regis Staff: Security is polite, front desk is polite, essentially all staff are professional and courteous. Facilities: The bar on the 2nd floor is very popular, offering a single light drink set for around $2xx, which includes a glass of champagne, an oyster, a small bowl of spicy peanuts, and a small bowl of olives. The gym is excellent, with beautiful night views, new and diverse equipment, disinfectant wipes, a water dispenser, chilled Pocari Sweat, cold towels, and regular towels. The changing rooms have a jacuzzi and sauna, all free of charge. The pool provides swimming noodles and kickboards, has warm and cold water, and also offers towels, all free. What truly surprised me was the butler service. My teddy bear was initially just lying on the bed. After returning to the room from dinner, I found that Butler Kevin had dressed my bear in a bathrobe and eye mask, and even covered it with its own blanket. I was so touched I almost cried. Many thanks to Butler Kevin for providing such wonderful surprises and immense emotional value!!! The St. Regis Macao has incredibly dedicated staff, absolutely outstanding!!!!!

The room is quite standard, not big. The infrastructure is online. The overall artistic atmosphere of the hotel is great! I like the gym very much, but it's a pity that the swimming pool is not open... I like the fruits and chocolates sent, and my favorite little lion! I came to watch the Macau 2049 show, which is just downstairs. I just shook my hands and went down. Please note that you cannot bring drinks into the show!

We stayed here for a concert and to celebrate our friendship anniversary. The location, right in The Londoner, was incredibly convenient! The suite originally came with a complimentary teddy bear and a duck soap. Since both my friend and I wanted a teddy bear as a souvenir, I emailed Conrad to inquire. The hotel was very accommodating and provided an extra bear for us, even customizing them with our initials. We're very grateful for this. This stay was an excellent experience, and we'll definitely choose to stay here again next time we're at The Londoner!

Stayed at Hotel Kyoto in Macau for two days and had a really good overall experience. The location is definitely a plus – you can walk to St. Paul's Ruins and Rua de Cinco de Outubro, making it super convenient for shopping and finding food. The room was clean and tidy, and the living environment was comfortable. It saved a lot of hassle traveling with elderly people and children. It's a quiet spot despite being central and very convenient for getting around. For families visiting Macau, it's a great value-for-money accommodation choice.

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.

The hotel is located right in the center of the old town, which makes it very convenient—most attractions are within walking distance. The view from the room overlooking the city is definitely a nice bonus. The staff speak English and are very helpful, which made the stay much smoother. There’s also a free luggage storage option, so you can easily leave your bags after check-out without any hassle. That said, the hotel itself feels a bit outdated and doesn’t fully match the photos in terms of quality. However, we chose one of the cheapest options in Macau for a weekend stay, so we weren’t expecting anything luxurious. Overall, it’s a practical choice if location matters more than comfort.

I visit Macau 2-3 times a year, so a price hike during the summer weekend was expected. This time, I chose The Londoner Macao for our family of three, specifically for the 1.4m twin beds, which allowed us to sleep comfortably without feeling cramped. The room's cleanliness and overall environment were good, and the window overlooked the stadium. The front desk staff were all warm and welcoming, contradicting some reviews about poor service. The room was well-equipped with amenities sufficient for daily use, and there was even a self-service vending machine on our floor, which was quite convenient! The best part is that despite The Londoner Macao's slightly off-the-beaten-path location, there's a shopping mall right downstairs, catering to all our daily needs for food, clothing, and entertainment. There's also a 24-hour cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style diner), and registering as a Londoner Macao member gives you an 15% discount. The hotel also provided two discount coupons for Wynn Palace, with free shuttle bus service to Wynn Palace and Grand Lisboa Palace. The coupons included a priority ride on the cable car once, which was perfect for watching the musical fountain show in the evening. There was also a shopping and dining discount card for the mall, which really made up for the location. It's clear that The Londoner Macao's management is very thoughtful and genuinely cares about its guests.👍🏻👍🏻 Previously, staying in the Parisian area meant large shopping centers, but during peak season, it could get uncomfortably crowded. The Londoner Macao, however, is quieter and less crowded, making for a more comfortable and leisurely trip. The hotel is a 7-8 minute walk from the East Asian Games Dome Light Rail Station, and getting to Cunha Street (Taipa Pier Station) is also more affordable than taking a taxi. Personally, I think it's a very cost-effective choice for a family of three or four. Next time, I want to try the L'Occitane room and the LINE FRIENDS themed room, as I believe the weekday prices will be even more attractive. In short: Of course, more expensive hotels will offer a different experience – you get what you pay for. But for our family's habit and experience of visiting Macau for a few days every year, The Londoner Macao is a good value-for-money option. If guests have higher demands, then I'd recommend choosing a more expensive hotel. 😉😉

The room was quite clean and the location was good. It's not far from the bus stop and light rail, and there are many places to eat downstairs, plus a supermarket. It's in a residential area, and they even offer free luggage storage. Overall, the hotel is pretty good.
