About Taipa Village
Rua do Cunha concentrates food and souvenir shops in a narrow pedestrian lane, while nearby streets hold temples and the Museum of Taipa and Coloane History. Above the old village, Our Lady of Carmel Church and the restored Portuguese houses provide another architectural layer. Build the visit around these streets and buildings; Taipa also contains modern residential and transport areas well beyond this small historic centre.
What to look for
- Rua do Cunha’s pedestrian lane is lined with food and souvenir shops.
- The Taipa Houses and Our Lady of Carmel Church contrast with the village’s Chinese temples.
