Back to Ruins of St. Paul's Great place for people watching It gets incredibly crowded, particularly on the weekend, but this really is the heart of Macau, and I could spend hours there watching people.
Reviewed by: Walter M from on Feb 19 2008 Best photo op in Macau Each part of the church fascade tells a story of the Bible. The structure is grand and the best place to start a visit to Macau. Also visit the small museum underneath the ruins. Then go to the bottom of the steps of the fascade, buy a famous egg tart then turn right down the first street and enjoy fantastic furniture shopping (custom made). Even if not buying, you will be amazed by the workmanship and prices.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Oct 03 2005 The icon of Macau Sao Paulo is the icon Macau, the attraction that you see on all the post cards! I guess it symbolizes the romance of the Portugese colonial past. It was fun to look around a bit and take photos, but not all that interesting.... But while you're there, don't miss the adjacent Museum of Macau. We had originally just decided to duck inside the museum for a couple of hours to escape the oppressive heat outside, but boy, we're glad we went! The exhibits were very interesting and gave us a deeper appreciation of Macau's cultural history.
