On the south coast of China, just 40 miles from Hong Kong across the Pearl River Delta, Macao wears its unique and colourful Porugese-Chinese heritage proudly, with southern European and Cantonese influences resonating through its architecture, customs and legendary cuisine.
One of the region's fastest growing and most exciting destinations, it makes a perfect two or three-night addition to a Far East holiday or stopover en route Down Under.
From exploring vibrant temples to twirling in a figure of eight Ferris wheel above the city lights - hopefully, you will find on here some of the unmissable experiences on offer.
