Coz I knw you'll love Shopping:
The best neighborhoods to shop:around the
Senado Square and the Red Market
Senado Square is the location of one of the newest municipal markets. On Avenida Almeida Ribeiro and the narrow streets leading off the main square you'll find a wealth of inexpensively priced goods of all kinds. Clothing is the biggest item here, and you'll find vendors specializing in locally manufactured baby clothes, undergarments, shoes, and accessories, as well as jeans, sweaters, T-shirts and sportswear in all sizes and styles.
Nearby, the
Sun Star City, on Rua de Pedro Nolasco, and Sportstar, a two-storeyed arcade of specialty shops on
Rua da Palha, offer a wide variety of clothing, watches, and stylish accessories like sunglasses, handbags, shoes and novelty items.On the other side of Avenida Almeida Ribeiro is a shopping area for the more adventurous. Follow Rua do Dr. Soares uphill behind the Civic & Municipal Affairs Bureau building until you reach Rua da Felicidade. Turn right and continue down past the restored 19th century shophouses in Felicidade, once a thriving red-light district. This is a fascinating place to browse among shops selling jewellery, curios, dried beef and even live snakes. The
Red Market is located on the corner of Avenida Almirante Lacerda and Avenida Horta e Costa.The market bustles with business as vendors sell food of every conceevable kind.
Avenida Horta e Costa is a long shopping street that begins at the Red Market and extends as far as the Flora Gardens beneath Guia Hill. The avenue has several up-market shops specializing in, among other things, clothing and shoes, electronic items and cameras. But the best bargains are found in the streets surrounding the avenue. The historic "Three Lamps" (Rotunda Carlos da Maia) and surrounding narrow streets are full of tiny shops selling many kinds of goods at bargain prices.
Museum shops for only-in-Macau items
If you are looking for souvenirs that could only come from Macau, the museum shops are a good place to look. The
Grand Prix Museum has some wonderful books, videotapes and other items connected to Macau's most important sporting event, and the world's foremost Formula 3 competition.Other Museum shops, like the one at the Macau Museum, have a variety of souvenirs, many of them charmingly handcrafted and unique to Macau. The Maritime Museum offers fascinating books, and imaginative gifts like model kits for the unique "lorchas" that plied the waters around Macau in earlier times, and other beautifully designed souvenirs with a nautical touch.Cultural Club is housed in an authentic old pawnshop (an valuable historic & cultural heritage) on San Ma Lo in the centre of Macau. It consists of five parts, the first and second parts are the "Pastry Gallery"and "Arts Plaza" with the souvenirs, postcards, fine arts, clothes and accessories. The third part namely "Jin Yong Library" where the famous Jin Yong specialized novels are housed.

Portuguese Wines – excellence at reasonable prices
The delights of Portuguese wine could fill a book, but for a brief introduction, visit the
Wine Museum in the Tourism Activities Center before setting out to buy them. All supermarkets, and even the smaller grocery stores in Macau display many different kinds of Portuguese wine at prices ranging from about MOP$30 for an ordinary table wine to several hundred for a fine aged Port
