GROUND TRANSPORTATION FROM MACAO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
If you’re staying at one of the major hotels in Cotai or Taipa Island, call your hotel in advance for pick-up service. Or, for something more personal, air-conditioned taxis are available at the taxi station outside the airport and are relatively inexpensive. Be aware though that there will be a surcharge of five patacas and each piece of luggage carried in the trunk will cost three patacas.
The Airport bus (AP1) is also available outside the terminal. These buses cross the city and stop at the major hotels.
