Avenida da República

Republic Avenue

One of the most beautiful avenues in Macau, this tree-lined road arcs around the southernmost tip of the peninsula and is the address of some of the most pretty Portuguese residential buildings in the territory, all of them enjoying an unobstructed view of the Nam Van and Sai Van lakes. The world-acclaimed Pousada de São Tiago, with its access staircase through the walls of the ruined Barra Fortress, is located at the southern end of this road.
