Rua de Sao Paulo

Rua de Sao Paulo is an authentic little street that connects the two major landmarks of St. Dominic's Church and the Ruins of St. Paul's. The street is lined with shops and local food stalls, which means visitors won't find themselves at a loss shopping-wise.

Shopping

Due to its tax free status, shopping is a delight in Macau with prices considerably lower than the USA, Europe and other Asian centers. Thanks to recent developments, you can find designer shopping centers though there are plenty of exotic Asian markets and traditional shops selling Chinese medicines and Portuguese antiques. Other things to shop for including electronics, jewelry, fabric, porcelain and wine. Prices vary according to quality so be wary of imitations. Avenida Almeira Ribeiro is the main commercial center and has many designer boutiques.
