This group of Taipa Houses is worth a visit. The Portuguese architecture is a delight and there is even a house which is furnished. Entry is free. Quite a pleasant place to visit.

A collection of old colonial era houses that have been converted into galleries and a simple museum, overlooking a lake and tall hotels where the sea once was. A relaxing experience where you can just walk around and enjoy the scenery, as well as soak in the history of the place. The place boasts a nice view for photos as well, with a neighbouring garden with different themes throughout the year.

One of my favorite places in Macau especially since it's kind of away from all the casino happenings. :)) The houses are beautiful and well-maintained, there are also a lot of food establishments and souvenir shops nearby.

A‌ series of 5 old mansion Houses. One of them has the furniture set-up for viewing ,one is set up as a souvenir shop, two have exhibitions and one is not open for visiting. Peaceful place to watch the historical residential buildings and church in 💓 of city. Worth visiting if you pass by taipa.

When in Macau, if you need a break from the commotion of st. Paul cathedral area and the casinos, do yourself a favor and Head over to the Taipa houses museum and the sorounding charming streets. There are some beautiful views, cute stores, tasty food and less people overall. This is so far my favorite area in Macau (it's on Taipa island)

Beautiful location and amazing Lotus gardens. Well worth a visit if you are looking for a quiet place to spend some time. There is no restaurant there but there are lots of good ones close by.
