Planning a wild day in Macau Taipa?

Get ready for epic skyline views and Insta-worthy architecture at two of Cotai’s hottest spots! 🏙️✨ Top Spots to Visit: Macau Eiffel Tower: Head to The Parisian Macao, Estrada do Istmo, Cotai Strip for a taste of Paris in Asia. The tower’s entrance is at the 5th-floor souvenir shop or main entry on the 7th floor. Open daily from 12:00–23:00, last entrance at 22:15. Entry is MOP 63 and, trust me, the night view is everything—come around sunset to catch Cotai lighting up! Insider tip: Skip peak hours for less crowd and epic photos. The Londoner: Just next door at Sands Cotai Central (4HW8+M9R, Taipa), The Londoner offers a massive British-themed escape. Open 24/7, it’s perfect for strolling, shopping, or grabbing bites at British pubs and chic cafes. Don’t miss the red double-decker bus for selfies! How to Get Around: Use free shuttle buses between major hotels and attractions—super convenient and saves cash. Walking around the Cotai Strip is easy and safe. Food Recommendations: For quick bites, sample egg tarts at Lord Stow’s Bakery (inside nearby hotels) or hit up Din Tai Fung at The Venetian if you want something filling. Key Tips: No visa needed for most tourists, but double-check before you go. Bring some Hong Kong/Macau Dollars for snacks and small purchases—cards accepted at most big spots. Weather? Humid year-round, so dress light and carry water. #macaudaytrip #cotaistrip #macaueats #asiatravel #tripcom
