Senado Square– Senado square is 20 minutes walk from Wynn casino. You can reach Senado square via the infamous Grand Lisboa hotel. The large town square is frequent place for public events in Macau. This place is surrounded by shops and restaurants. This is a great place to try authentic Cantonese and Macau snacks.

People interested in doing adventure activity can do bungee jumping or sky walk. Macau tower bungee jumping is the tallest bungee in the entire world. You can see great panoramic views of Macau from the top of Macau tower. I will recommend to visit the place during evening time.

Macau Science Center– The science center is situated very close to the ferry pier. The building has a great architecture and futuristic looks. The science center is perfect for kids under the age of 10. They have around 14 sections to explore but they should try hard to make it interesting for older people.

Macau fisherman wharf- Macau fisherman’s wharf is an integrated waterfront, convention, dining, retail and entertainment complex. Evening till late night is probably the best time to visit the Macau fisherman’s wharf. I visited the place during the day time and there was hardly anyone there.

Wynn Casino– Wynn casino is one of the best casinos in the Macau peninsula region. You can play almost all the games at the casino. The casino also hosts guests for poker but the waiting time is usually too long.
