What can you do at Macao Tower?
Macao Tower’s Observation Deck pairs high-level views with two distinct visitor spaces. Level 58 is the Observation Lounge, while Level 61 is the Adventure Deck; together they give you a choice between taking in the panorama and getting closer to the tower’s adventure offerings.
The tower offers bungy jump, skyjump, skywalk and tower climb, operated by AJ Hackett. Adventure activity tickets must be booked through the operator’s website, so handle that separately from Observation Deck admission. Bungy jump, skyjump and skywalk are available in the evenings from 18:00 in winter and 19:30 in summer.
How do you get to Macao Tower from central Macau?
Several bus routes stop at M177 Torre de Macau, right at Macau Tower. Routes 9A, 18, 18B, 23, 26, 32, 60 and 65 serve the stop, giving you multiple ways to plan the trip from elsewhere on the peninsula.
If you’re travelling from Barra Station, take bus 60 or 65 from M277 Centro Modal de Transportes da Barra; the ride to the tower is approximately 2 minutes. From Metropole Hotel, the tower is about a 5-minute drive, making it a manageable outing from a hotel in central Macau.
Coming from the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal? Bus 32 runs approximately every 15 minutes, and the ride to M177 Torre de Macau takes an estimated 15 minutes. Bus 9A also runs from M225 R. da Tribuna/Est. dos Cavaleiros; the walk from the Macao Border Gate to M225 takes 5 minutes.

What do Macao Tower tickets cover, and what are the entry rules?
On-site general admission to the Observation Deck costs MOP 208 for adults and MOP 138 for children aged 3–11 and seniors aged 65 or above. Infants aged 0–2 enter free when accompanied by an adult aged 18 or above who holds a valid ticket.
Children under 11 must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult aged 18 or above. Tickets are valid only on the selected date and must be used during the Observation Deck’s operating hours. Purchased tickets cannot be exchanged, transferred or refunded, and cannot be returned for cash or other products or services.
If you’re driving, indoor parking costs MOP 30 per hour for cars and MOP 5 per hour for motorcycles. A purchase of MOP 100 or more at Macau Tower qualifies for the first 2 hours of parking free; a Patisserie purchase qualifies for the first half hour free. The offers cannot be combined.
When should you visit, and what can affect the visit?
The Observation Deck’s opening hours are 10:00–20:00. Because hours and transport arrangements can change, check the official site before you go. Plan around the selected-date ticket rule, and allow time to reach the deck within its operating hours.
Weather can affect access: in the event of typhoon signal No. 8 or above, Macau Tower may close with or without prior public notice. The tower may change a ticket’s validity date or refund its price in that situation. For adventure activities, check AJ Hackett’s booking details as well as the seasonal evening start times before setting out.
If you’re fitting the tower into a day around the historic centre, the one-day Macau itinerary from the historic centre covers another way to structure your peninsula plans.
