Tower Communications tower with observation deck and bungee jump
Macau Tower offers observation decks, a revolving restaurant and the world’s highest commercial bungee jump; visitors book skyline views and adrenalin activities from the tower’s viewing levels.
The Macau Tower is a multi-use telecommunications and entertainment tower located on the waterfront of Macau SAR, notable for its height and panoramic city views. It combines observation levels, restaurants, exhibition space and facilities for commercial adventure activities.
Visitors commonly use the tower for panoramic viewing across Macau and the Pearl River Delta, dining at a revolving restaurant, and participating in high-adrenaline activities such as a commercial skywalk and bungee jump operated from the upper sections. The tower also hosts conferences and exhibitions in its lower halls.
Construction and opening took place in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as part of Macau’s modern urban development; the tower is a prominent vertical landmark on the city skyline and a focal point for tourism and events.
Located on the southern edge of Macau’s central urban area, the tower is within easy reach of the city’s main road network and public transport, and it overlooks the harbour and nearby islands.

How to Get to Macau Tower #
Macau Tower is in the southern part of the Macau Peninsula/SE Macau and is reached easily from the city centre. From the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal take a short taxi ride (around 5-15 minutes depending on traffic) or use local buses that serve the tower area; walking from the central ferry terminal to the tower is possible but takes about 20-30 minutes.
If arriving by land from the border crossings or the airport (on Taipa), taxis and local buses provide direct access and there is short on-site walking from drop-off points to the tower entrance.
Tips for Visiting Macau Tower #
- Book specialty activities (bungee jump, Skywalk) online well in advance and confirm your time slot - spaces are limited and operators often sell out on weekends and public holidays.
- Time your visit for late afternoon if you want both daylight views and sunset colours; the observation deck gives wide views over Macau and the Pearl River Delta but can be hazy at midday in summer.
- Check weather and wind advisories before you go - extreme winds or adverse conditions frequently suspend outdoor activities and can close the tower's external attractions without refund.
