The most convenient way to get downtown from Hong Kong International Airport is via taxi, which takes approximately 30-50 minutes to reach either Hong Kong Island or Kowloon. Alternatively, the Airport Express train runs at regular intervals and can bring you to the centrally-located Hong Kong Station in 25 minutes. A range of local bus routes also run from the terminal to all major destinations in the city.

Home to a world famous skyline, a diverse culinary scene, and abundant natural beauty, there is little wonder as to how Hong Kong earned itself the nickname, ‘Pearl of the Orient’.

Start your trip with a visit to Victoria Peak - the highest point on Hong Kong Island. To get there, take a ride on the historic Peak Tram. Once you reach the top, you can marvel at the city’s glittering harbour, iconic buildings, and lush emerald hills. Be sure to enjoy a scenic lunch at one of the many restaurants in and around The Peak Galleria, as well as a leisurely stroll around the Peak Circle Walk.

Culture lovers will revel in Hong Kong’s fascinating selection of world class museums and galleries. For those interested in Art, head straight to the Hong Kong Museum of Art for art pieces from a range of international and local artists. The Hong Kong History Museum, Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and M+ are great recommendations for anyone wanting a deeper insight into the city’s storied past and global cultural significance.

No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a bit of shopping. From corner to corner, the city boasts an eclectic range of luxury shopping malls and authentic street markets selling everything you want and more. Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, ifc in Central, and Pacific Place in Admiralty are three of the most popular malls with an expansive selection of international brands, luxury shops, and restaurants. Meanwhile, the Ladies Market and Stanley Market offer a more down-to-earth experience where street vendors sell tasteful souvenirs, clothing, and many other trinkets. If you want to browse boutique local shops, head to PMQ in Central or The Mills in Tsuen Wan - both of which are revitalised historical buildings converted into bustling shopping areas.

To experience Hong Kong’s natural beauty up close, be sure to hike Dragon’s Back. This popular hiking trail is perched on Hong Kong Island and offers picturesque views of rolling mountains and the coastline. A visit to Lantau Island is also recommended, where you will discover the massive Tian Tan Buddha and more challenging yet highly rewarding hikes like Lantau Peak and Sunset Peak.

Hong Kong is also the perfect springboard for day trips. Popular options include hopping on the ferry to Macau or train to Shenzhen, and we also highly recommend exploring more remote corners of Hong Kong such as the outlying islands of Cheung Chau and Peng Chau. Both islands are easily accessible on a ferry from Hong Kong Island’s Central Pier and offer a cosy experience with winding village lanes, local restaurants, and outstanding natural beauty.
