Customised itinerary of new and historic Macao and the city’s art offerings
- Head to luxury hotels to view the works of world-famous artists and check out Macao’s history, dining scene and attractions along the way
Did you know that Wynn Palace is home to multimillion-dollar art by Jeff Koons? That MGM has sculptures by Salvador Dalí?
Not just glitzy establishments, many of Macao’s luxury hotels also invest heavily in art, featuring works that wouldn’t be out of place in some of the world’s top galleries and museums.
With Art Macao, the city’s biggest and longest art festival, comes the perfect opportunity to explore the often-overlooked wealth of art in the city. The six-month-long festival includes special exhibitions, featuring notable artists both locally and abroad, as well as outdoor art installations and performances.
In addition to having their own attractions, many of Macao’s leading hotels are close to historical sites and other landmarks. To make sure you don’t miss out, we have drawn up a handy itinerary – from morning to midnight – to guide you through various hotels’ art collections and exhibitions, highlighting the things you can do, see and eat along the way.
Early morning arrival
Let’s start the journey with an Instagram post! Right by the Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal is Jai Alai Oceanus entertainment complex, modelled after the Water Cube of the 2008 Beijing Olympics (now the Beijing National Aquatics Center). The many European-themed buildings in nearby Macau Fisherman’s Wharf will also give you a lot of picture ideas.
