Getting Around by Water
There are several daily harbour tours in Chinese junks between the inner and outer harbours (journey time - 30 minutes). Tours depart from Pier 1.
Getting Around by Road
Traffic drives on the left. There are two bridges: one to Taipa Island, and a bridge carrying a four-lane highway from the international airport to the Macau-China border at Zhuhai.
Bus: Services operate frequently around Macau and to the islands. The main operators are TCM (Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos de Macau) (tel: 2885 0060; website: www.tcm.com.mo) and Transmac (Transportes Urbanos de Macau) (tel: 2827 1122; website: www.transmac.com.mo).
Taxi: Taxis are either black with a cream-coloured top, or all-yellow (radio taxis). They generally have a destination guide written in Chinese, English and Portuguese.
Rickshaws and pedicabs (cycle rickshaws): Available for hire. Prices should be agreed in advance - but many of Macau's attractions are located on hilltops, beyond the reach of even the strongest-legged pedicab driver.
Bicycles: Bikes can be hired on Taipa Island but cannot be taken to the mainland.
Car hire: Available through several agencies. Drivers must be over 21. Chauffeur-driven limousines are also available.
Regulations: The speed limit is 60kph (37mph) for cars and 40kph (25mph) for 50cc motorbikes.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.
