★★★★★2 years agoGreat to walk around and see these houses even if you don't go into the museum. It's also very close to Taipa Food Street, the wetlands etc and only a short walk across to the casinos. So definitely worth the visit to see this side of Taipa.

★★★★★4 months agoInteresting history of portugese colony in Macau. These traditional houses represent the lovely portugese architectural style in Macau. Beautiful gardens , tranquil and serene with views over the city. Charming boardwalk to the strip.
