"Anyone who really wants to understand the mix of Chinese and Portuguese influences in Macau should start with a trip to Senado Square and St. Paul’s Cathedral. From the wavy monochrome tiles to the colorful pastel colonial buildings, this is a quintessential Macanese experience. Browse the temples and museums that hug the square before navigating a barrage of kitschy shops before landing at the doorstep of famous churches, including the Macau Cathedral, St. Domingo’s Church, and postcard darling Ruins of St. Paul’s. This famous facade is all that remains of a 17th-century Jesuit church, which was devastated by a fire in 1835." - Kate Springer
Very nice area in Macao. Pretty flowers, tiles and fountains. European street vibes all around. Must visit! A major street part for shopping, food and much more. Tourists all around you will find.

Beautiful area showcasing the Portugese architecture. The buildings are so colourful and even the papers on the ground are beautifully designed. It can get very crowded in this area and it's not too far to walk from here to the Ruins of St Paul. There are many other heritage sites near here too

It's just a square where many people gather and go different places from. The architectures are amazing and photographic. Good place to walk around, or sit and have a iced coffee on hand watching people. Nearby, you can walk to st Paul's ruins and necha temple. Everything's along here are tourist prices by the way.

During China’s Labor Day holiday, I visited Senado Square, St. Dominic’s Church, and the Ruins of St. Paul’s in Macau early in the morning. As expected, there were huge crowds, so I think it’s better to start moving a bit earlier to avoid the rush

A great place for both tourists and locals to gather. There buildings are colorful. They were starting to tear down the Chinese New Year decorations.
A great place to start your visit.

Senado Square is very crowded, but that is to be expected in Macau.
Overall a very festive atmosphere and the Portuguese cobblestone was really neat to feel on my feet.
It's a smaller area than anticipated.
The cathedral was closed due to a ceremony.
