The best time of year to visit Macau

Between October and December, when the weather and temperature are more pleasant, is the greatest time to visit. Summertime brings oppressive heat, and most people prefer to stay indoors in the cool air conditioning rather than sweat buckets outside. Macau has a humid climate with a moderate to hot climate. From May to September, typhoons are a possibility.

Avoid visiting Macau on weekends and public holidays if at all feasible, and try to visit during off-peak hours on weekdays. On weekends, visiting popular attractions such as the Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square, and the Historic Center of Macao is nearly difficult due to the narrow streets being overrun with tourists and visitors, mostly from Mainland China. Macau is officially the world's most densely inhabited territory, with 650,900 people living in approximately 11 square miles.
