Place to stay in Macau is not a problem, Macau has many Cheap Hostels, Bed and Breakfast, Guesthouses and Budget Hotels to choose from and the choice is growing year after year. For those high rollers Macau is a wash with Luxury 5 Star Hotels and amazing Casinos.

No visit to Macau would be complete without visiting the imposing Macau tower. The Macau Tower has excellent views of Macau from the Observation deck, for adrenaline junkies check out the Skyjump, a 300 meters high bungee jump from the Macau tower, a must do for any adrenaline junkie.

If bungee jumping is too much for you then enjoy some retail therapy in the many shopping malls in Macau and relax and enjoy a meal and some drinks in the countless, Bars and Restaurants.

Macau truly comes alive at night, and is not the place you want to go to bed early.
