Macau Island (China)

Macau is the result of a blend of China and the West which has made is absolutely unique.

Although the first thing we think about when we hear the name (and which is confirmed once you get there!) is "enormous buildings and casino-hotels" - it has long eclipsed Las Vegas and Monte Carlo - Macau has other charms. You can start with its colonial architecture, paved alleys dotted with Chinese temples and baroque churches, pretty parks and beaches and a historic center that is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Macau's special history is also reflected in its food: nowhere else on the continent will you find such a mix of flavors - Asian, European, Latin American and even African.
