Local Information
Macau SAR is located in South East Asia, bordering Mainland China and is approximately one hour away from Hong Kong SAR by speed ferry. Macau is served by its own Macau International Airport at Taipa. The 50-minute ferry journey (seven times daily) from the neighbouring Hong Kong International Airport makes it the best alternative if there are no direct flight from your home country. There are also frequent high speed ferry services between downtown Hong Kong and Macau.
