Taipa Village Macau Guide 2026: Portuguese Heritage, Street Food & Hidden Gems

Taipa Village is the most charming neighbourhood in Macau — a cluster of pastel-coloured Portuguese colonial buildings, family-run bakeries, and narrow streets completely unlike the casino mega-resorts that dominate the rest of the territory. This 2026 guide covers the village's history, the best local food, hidden churches and mansions, practical transport, and why Taipa should be your first stop if you want to see the real Macau.
