Macau, with its distinctive colonial background, is home to a rich collection of historic buildings and monuments. The “Historic Centre of Macau” consists of dozens of heritage sites and squares, immersing visitors in an exotic classical atmosphere. It was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites in 2005 and has since become a must-visit destination for travelers.

Developed specifically for tourists by the Macao Government Tourism Office, the “Macau UNESCO Heritage” mobile application compiles introductions to Macau’s World Heritage Sites, real-time multimedia information, and interactive features. Users can utilize the app’s GPS function to easily find the distance to various attractions, routes, descriptions, opening hours, and addresses—making it effortless to explore the World Heritage Site of the “Historic Centre of Macau” on foot.

The app also features 360-degree virtual tours, high-quality images, and short videos that allow users to preview sites on their phones before visiting. It also provides commonly used and emergency contact numbers in Macau, adding to its convenience. The interface and content are available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, and Portuguese. The app is compatible with iPhone, iPod, and iPad, and can be downloaded for free by searching “WH Macau” or “Macau UNESCO Heritage” on the App Store.
