help with touring around macau

Question

Hi, my family and I are traveling there the week after next, and I just have some questions to make sure that our tour will be as smooth as possible.  I would like to thank you in advance for replying.I created our itinerary and I am wondering if it is doable in one day. Please advise:1) Out hotel is in Rua da Felicidade. I understand that it is just about 10 minutes away from Senado Square by walking. Is that correct?2) From Senado Square, I understand that the tourists spots are pretty close to each other and can be reached by walking. My plan is to go to Sam Kai Vui Kun Temple-Leal Senado Building-Macao General Post Office-Macao Holy House of Mercy-Lou Kau Mansion-St. Domingo’s Church-The Ruins of St. Paul-Na Tcha Temple-Macao Museum. Can we go to all these site by merely walking? Are my sequence of sites depending on their proximity to each other correct?3) Coming from the Macao Museum, is it doable to stretch it a bit and walk some more to St. Anthony's Churchand Camoes Square or are they already too far from Macao Temple? We are planning to skip them if they are too far already.4) We then plan to proceed to Mount Fortress-St. Lazarus Church-Guia Fortress-Lotus Square. Is walking still our best bet or do you recommend that we take a bus to save us time? Can we squeeze in Tashi Square/ Tap Seac Square and Sports Pavilion and Lou Lim Leoc Garden in that sequence?5) What is the best way to go Guia Fortress if our last destination is Lotus Square? What about if our last destination is Lou Lim Leoc Garden?6) From Guia Fortress, how do we go to Kun Iam Statue / Ecumenical Center / Macao Science Center? I still have a lot of questions about our itinerary but this is all for now while I await your reply. Thank you again so much. :)

1. Yes, actually it’s just about 5 minutes if by walking.2. Hey, you have made a wonderful plan; all these attractions can be reaching by walking. And the sequence is absolutely correct.3. From the Museum to the church, it’s about 630 yards. If you still have enough strength, you can just walk to there.4. Just remind you that Mount Fortress is inside the Museum. So you can go there before St. Anthony’s Church. For the other three attractions, you’re suggested to go there by bus; it would save you a lot of time and energy. You can squeeze Sports Pavilion, Tashi Square, and Lou Lim Leoc Garden before Guia Fortress. The sequence would be: Lou Lim Leoc Garden – Tashi Square – Sports Pavilion.5. you can take bus 12 or 23 from Guia Fortress to Lotus Square. If your last destination is the Garden, you can just walk to reach.6. You can take bus 17 to the Science Center and Kun Lam Statue, and bus 8 to the Ecumenical Center.

Thank you so much for your reply, Jack. You are amazing! I really appreciate your help.Just some follow up questions though:1) If we will be coming from Camoes Square, what bus should we take to reach Macao Museum? Approximately how many minutes if we decide to walk instead?2) Is Macao Museum just near St Lazarus Church? On the map it looks like they are just near each other. Is it advisable to take a bus instead and if yes, what bus?3) From St Lazarus Church, can we do Tashi Square-Sports Pavilion-Lim Leoc Garden-Guia Fortress by walking then take Bus 12 or 23 from Guia Fortress to get to Lotus Square? Is it advisable to just take a bus from Lim Leoc Garden to Guia Fortress? If yes, what bus do we take?4) Is Macau Fisherman's Wharf just near Lotus Square? Can we just walk?5) If Fisherman's Wharf if our last destination, can we still take Bus 17 to go the Science Center and Kun Lam Statue and Bus 8 to the Ecumenical Center?6) From the Ecumenical Center, how do we go to Venetian Macao? Do we just ride a cab or are there buses from Ecumenical Center going to Venetian?Thanks! I hope I am not tiring you with my questions haha! :)

1. You can use bus no. 18 or 8A to the museum and it takes 5-8min to walk there from the square. 2. Yes, the St Lazarus Church is only 5-6min's walking distance to the museum. You can easily walk there. 3. Your plan is doable. It would be fine to take bus no. 23 or 32 from the Guia Fortress to the Lotus Square. 4. The square is very close to the fisherman wharf, so it is easy and suggested to walk there. 5. After visiting the wharf, I remember it should be bus no. 12 or 8 to take you to the Science Center and Kun Lam Statue. 6. Bus no. MT1 can take you from Ecumenical Center to the Venetian in 20-30min.
