Getting Around:
Macau is easily accessible via foot as the peninsula is only about 3 miles long and 1 mile wide. However, there are buses or minibuses that run throughout the peninsula stopping at major hotels and main attractions. Metered taxis also offer service around all of Macau and are reasonably priced. Pedicabs, tricycles with two seats, are a fun yet costly transport option. They can be located outside the ferry terminal and Lisboa Hotel.
