Macau is known for its blend of Portuguese colonial architecture and modern casinos, with sights like the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Senado Square, and the Cotai Strip. The currency is the Macau pataca (MOP), though Hong Kong dollars are also widely accepted. Prices in Macau can be high, especially in casino areas and upscale restaurants, but more affordable options exist. The climate is subtropical, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. The best time to visit is during the cooler months from October to December.
