Macau travel recommended routes

Next, let’s talk about the currency usage in Macau. Basically everyone uses money when they go there, so there will definitely be issues with exchange. Now the editor will talk to you and go take a look.

Currency

Bank cards and cash. All stores in Macau sell in RMB, Hong Kong dollars and Macau Pataca. Calculated directly according to the exchange rate of 1:1:1. So if you are just traveling to Macau, you can choose to exchange it for Macau Pataca, which is the most cost-effective in terms of exchange rate. If you also travel to Hong Kong at the same time, you can exchange it for Hong Kong dollars. You can also spend RMB in Macau, but it will be very uneconomical. If you want to go shopping, you can basically use Alipay in major shopping malls now. Alipay's exchange rate is sometimes proactive and higher than that of UnionPay cards. And automatic conversion is also very convenient. You can exchange a few hundred Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas before going out. When you take a taxi or Airport Express, you need cash.

The rest can be exchanged after entry. Basically, there are exchange offices everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the exchange rates are pretty good. Remember to bring extra RMB cash to exchange. Because it costs more than 5,000 yuan to exchange a bank card for MOP cash. Cash is mainly used for food and drink. You cannot pay in supermarkets or restaurants. Best to use cash. You can pay by credit card or Alipay. There are visa cards, UnionPay cards, Alipay, and Macau patacas, so don’t worry.

Travel route

Macau is divided into two parts: Tai Tsai and Peninsula. If you have two days to visit, it’s best to take two routes. This is the old town of the peninsula and photo attractions, hotels, shops and supermarkets are all very close. If it is convenient for shopping or late-night snacks, you can choose Peninsula Hotel. I recommend Caishen Hotel, it is cost-effective and has a good location. Tai Tsai is a newly developed urban area. Almost every hotel has a landmark building, gathering famous attractions from all over the world. However, there are big differences between hotels. You need to take the Volvo Bus (free shuttle) to and from the hotel, or take a taxi. Walking is a bit difficult. Too far.
