Do I need to change patacas to go to Macau?

There are two main payment methods to choose from when traveling in Macao.

First of all, most shops and restaurants accept MOP, so if you want to shop in Macau, you can use MOP directly. Secondly, you can also pay in Hong Kong dollars or RMB. In Macao, the exchange rates of Hong Kong dollar and RMB are fixed, which are 1: 1 and 1:0.8 respectively. In addition, credit cards or bank cards can also be used in Macao, but it should be noted that some small businesses may not accept credit card payment. For tourist attractions, it is recommended to buy tickets in advance or use Alipay and other payment methods to avoid the inconvenience of cash exchange. Generally speaking, when traveling to Macao, you can choose to exchange Macao dollars for consumption, or you can use other payment methods to better experience the local culture.
