At the very least, your visit may coincide with an explosion of fireworks, traditionally set off to scare away evil spirits and now a popular demonstration for visiting tour groups (avoid mornings, however, when most tour buses come here).

"This museum by St Paul's ruins is definitely worth a visit. A very detailed and well curated history of Macau from the 1500s when the Portuguese arrived."

"It takes a very broad view of history, from both Chinese and Portuguese perspectives...pop up to the ramparts, which afford some of the best views over the city and out to sea."

The 15th of each month, when entry is free to all, is a date to avoid, I’d say, as it's much busier then.
