The Guia Fortress lies on the highest, steepest hilltop in Macao, so use the cable car if you want to save your legs. There are great views of Macao from here and the excellent 17th century Guia Fortress complex to explore containing underground bunkers, a 91-metre tall lighthouse and chapel with elaborate frescoes.
Do & See
Macau is based on a peninsula with a couple of islands including Taipa and Colôane. Most of the sights including St. Dominic's Church and Basilica of St Paul are packed around a few blocks in the old core around Largo do Senado, a good starting point of your tour.
