Traveler reviews
Wisanu Tuntawiroon
★★★★★8 months agoFeira Do Carmo, the Old Taipa Market, is one of those places that captures the heart and soul of Taipa. Tucked between charming heritage buildings and local eateries, this little market square blends history, culture, and neighborhood life in the most inviting way. The restored market building keeps its nostalgic character, showcasing traditional Portuguese-Macanese architecture with a clean, modern touch. Inside, rotating cultural exhibits and community events make every visit a bit different. Outside, the courtyard area is lively yet relaxed—a perfect spot to sit, people-watch, and take in the rhythm of old Taipa.

★★★★★a year ago官也街で買ったものを食べるのに、数少ない日陰で少し座れるところ、ということで、人が多かった。特にベンチがある休憩所というわけではないのだけれど、日差しが強いときは、大きな屋根があるだけで助かります。
