Now for my favorite part of our whole Hong Kong and Macau Tour! I actually like to explore historical places better than going through themed attractions. I feel more at home walking through old streets and districts. We woke up very early that morning to catch the ferry to Macau at 7:15am in Hong Kong’s Macau Ferry Terminal. The travel time took around one hour … I slept through the whole ride. We were already in Macau when I woke up :)

During our arrival at the Macau Ferry Terminal, we first went to their tourism office to get brochures and maps. We were told that it wasn’t necessary to change your HK$ to Macau Patacas since HK$ is widely accepted in Macau. In fact, the businesses there prefer it since 1HK$ has a set value of 0.97 Patacas, which gives them a little profit.

After going through the tourism office, we took the Venetian Macau Free Shuttle across the road (via an underground pedestrian walk). Almost all casinos and major hotels in Macau have free shuttles, you can just hop in even though you’re not planning on staying at the hotel or playing on the casinos … just don’t tell the driver that though. You can actually do an entire tour of Macau without spending a dime on transpo.
