Macau LRT · Taipa Line · Line guide
DISCOVER THE CITY BY METRO
One LRT ride, two sides of Macao.
From Barra’s historic temple to Taipa’s lanes and Portuguese-style houses, choose a neighbourhood to explore slowly.
One line. Many sides of the city.
The Taipa Line links Barra, Taipa and Cotai with the airport and ferry terminal. Attractions usually need a walk; other parts of the peninsula’s historic centre need further connections.
