Macau - Taipa Village

Taipa Village at Taipa Island is another popular destination for tourists. Here, like Senado Square on the Macau Peninsula, is a heritage area that has been converted into a tourist attraction. From Macau Peninsula you can take a bus to Taipa Village from the main bus terminal in front of Casino Lisbao – it is a 20 min journey.

There are many temples, churches and historic sites within a small area at Taipa Village, and it is quite easy to explore on foot. Many of the buildings look like they are still unchanged after all these years, so you get a feel of their real historical character.

The sites to look out for here are Rua do Cunha, Church of Our Lady of Carmel, and the Taipa House Museum.

The charming old streetscape.


There are many old heritage buildings to explore.
