Macau Tower
澳门旅游塔
A 338-metre observation tower with a 61st-floor outdoor platform and the world's highest commercial bungee jump (233 m), with views over the Macau Peninsula, Cotai and Zhuhai.
Macau Tower stands on the reclaimed land of Nam Van at the southern tip of the Macau Peninsula. It opened in 2001. At 338 metres, it is Macau's tallest building, and its design draws on New Zealand's Auckland Sky Tower. The 58th floor is the main observation deck, with glass floors for looking straight down. The 61st floor is an outdoor adventure platform. Observation tickets cost about MOP 195 and offer views of the whole Macau Peninsula, the Sai Van Bridge, Cotai's resort cluster and Zhuhai across the water. On clear days you can even see Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The tower's thrill activities are run by AJ Hackett: the 233-metre bungee jump (the world's highest commercial bungee, from about MOP 3,500), the skywalk (walking tethered on a ledge with no guardrail outside the 61st floor, about MOP 800), the Skyjump and the Skyclimb (climbing up the tower body to the top). These make it Macau's most exhilarating experience. Inside are a revolving restaurant (360° buffet with views), a cinema and a convention centre. Below the tower lie Nam Van Lake and Sai Van Lake, where the lakeside has a musical fountain and a night jogging path after dark. Getting there: buses 9A, 18, 23, 26 and 32 stop at the 'Macau Tower' station, and a taxi from Senado Square takes about 10 minutes. Go up about an hour before sunset. Notes: Bungee jumps and skywalks must be booked in advance and have age and weight limits. Outdoor activities are closed during typhoons.
