Ready for an epic Melaka–Macau adventure? 🇲🇾🛥️🇲🇴 Tick off Senato Square’s heritage vibes, and live the luxe life at The Londoner Hotel—plus score a FREE one-way ferry ride (don’t skip that hack!). Must-See Places in Macau: 1. Senado Square (Largo do Senado, Macao; open all day): Wander here for iconic Portuguese architecture, pastel mosaic tiles, fountain selfies, and tons of cafes for a caffeine fix that feels straight out of Lisbon. 2. The Londoner Hotel (Estrada do Istmo, s/n): This spot serves British-chic luxury with a wow-factor lobby and themed photo ops. Super close to Macau Airport and loads of sights, so you can explore hassle-free or just chill and enjoy the massive afternoon tea spread at Hua Ting. Pro tip: Use their airport pick-up and personalized butler services—it’s a vacation gamechanger! Staff are top-tier friendly, making you feel beyond VIP. Personal Insights: Our DIY route made everything efficient—and we saved cash grabbing the free ferry ride (most Macau hotels offer this, just ask the staff!). The Londoner does get points for excellent food (try the breakfast and those evening Hua Ting cocktails). Space is lush, but rooms can feel a bit snug, so keep expectations real. Top marks for check-in speed and the seamless transport link to basically everywhere. Wrap-Up Tips: Getting Around: Public buses and free hotel shuttles are everywhere (use those to save $$$). Food: Chow down at Senado Square’s local bakeries or splurge at The Londoner’s elegant Hua Ting; both pack flavor! Useful to Know: Macau is visa-free for most tourists, but always double-check before you go. Weather’s humid—pack light clothing and a portable fan! #MacauTravel #SenadoSquare #LondonerMacao #TravelHacks #Tripdotcom
