Planning your trip to Macau
Getting around
Unlike in mainland China, Google Maps is not blocked in Macau. Walking is arguably the best way to get around the Macau Peninsula, which is small, compact and full of things to discover, and most streets have sidewalks, though you will have to push through crowds. Many roads are one-way, so road transport may need a long loop to reach the same place, and cars are more mindful of pedestrians than in mainland China.
