Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the
longest sea crossing in the world, is
this little city that punches way about
its weight in creativity and
development. From the Portuguese
colonial beauty of Old Town to the
international bling of the Cotai Strip,
you’ll never run out of things to do.
And this year, the 70th anniversary of
the founding of the People’s Republic
of China and the 20th of the
anniversary of the handover of
Macao as a Special Administrative
Region, brings celebratory events
such as Art Macao. Held across a
whopping 48 locations, the festival is
a citywide aesthetic immersion—
and, happily, you have through next
month to dive in.
Must-visits in Macao include
A-Ma Temple, Senado Square and of
course the historic landmark Ruins
of St. Paul, but once you’ve seen the
sights, reward yourself with another
of the city’s major attractions: its
diverse food. On the Cotai Strip,
we’re crazy for MGM’s Grill 58 by
Mauro Colagreco, whose Mirazur in
France has three Michelin stars and
was just named No. 1 in the World’s
50 Best restaurants. You also need a
booking at Wynn Palace’s Wing Lei
Palace, and follow it up with dessert
across the street at Morpheus in the
Pierre Hermé Lounge.
To get a real feel for the culture,
visit Taipa Village, an old fishing
hamlet where life moves slow and
the food is second to none: sit down
and savor at Goa Nights, La Famiglia
and Tapas de Portugal, or grab baos
at Tiger Bite or lobster buns at Tim &
Daf ’s to take to the beach. It might be
a cliché to call this unesco Creative
City of Gastronomy a melting pot,
but when the chef’s hat fits...
