Overview:Macau is the real deal when it comes to East meets West style. It's mixture of East and West brings together an eclectic mix of Old World Europe and the Orient in one beautiful.
Macau Tower is one of the most popular tourist destinations since opened on 19th December, 2001. Soaring 338 metres above the city of Macau, it is the 10th highest freestanding tower in the world and the 8th tallest in Asia. It stands taller than Paris' Eiffel Tower, Auckland's Sky and Sydney's AMP Tower.
It is an elegant construction offering breathtaking panoramic views all over Macau and much of the Pearl River Delta from its observation deck and revolving restaurant, at the 223-metre level. There is the opportunity to walk around the outside of the tower, for instance "Skywalk X". MTCEC is just 5 minutes from the Macau Ferry Terminal and 15 minutes away from the border crossing to Zhuhai, China and the Macau International Airport.
The Tower Pod anchoring at 223m above ground houses four public accessed levels, starting from the double-height Main Observation Level with a cafe, a Tower Restaurant seating 250 persons which takes 60 minutes to make one revolution, and an Outdoor Observation Deck where visitors can enjoy the fresh air at a height of 233 m above ground level.
Entry to the Tower is underground and is accessed via escalators within the Convention & Entertainment Centre. Visitors are guided through a shopping area — featuring a unique marble floor that depicts an abstract interpretation of the Pearl River Delta— and are further led to the Tower ticket and reception area.
