Senado Square, a vibrant public space in the heart of Macau, offers a glimpse into the region's Portuguese colonial past with its stunning mosaic-tiled pavement and European-style architecture. Easily accessible on foot or by local public transport, the square is part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Historic Centre of Macau. It's best to visit independently, allowing time to explore the nearby attractions like St. Dominic’s Church and the Ruins of St. Paul at your own pace. The square is open year-round, but visiting during cooler months from October to March can make for a more comfortable experience. Expect to spend an hour or two wandering and perhaps extending it to a half-day with nearby sites. While there is no entry fee, consider budgeting for refreshments and shopping at the local boutiques. It’s advisable to arrive early in the day to avoid the thick of tourist crowds.
