Where to stay in Hong Kong: most popular districts

The city divides into the Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong Island and the Islands District. These are the districts chosen most often:

• Mong Kok. A dense Kowloon district of markets and cheap food. Plenty of mid-priced hotels.
• Tsim Sha Tsui. Waterfront Kowloon with views of the island skyline, museums and shopping. A handy base for sightseeing.
• Causeway Bay and Wan Chai. The lively heart of the island, with shopping and restaurants. Rates are among the higher ones.
• Central. The financial heart of the city, and also the cheapest average price among the popular districts.
• The Islands District. The most searched area, close to the airport and Disneyland.

Nightly rates vary between districts. Here are indicative prices per night for a double room:

What to see in Hong Kong

The city combines views, temples and night markets, so it is easy to fill a plan at any time of day.

• The Star Ferry. A ferry crossing from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island, the cheapest way to see the skyline from the water.
• Victoria Peak. A hill with the best view over the city, known locally as The Peak.
• Disneyland. Smaller than other parks but with the same magic, good for a day with children.
• Temple Street Night Market. An evening market with local food and a chance to bargain.
• Street markets. Shopping and street food in the dense lanes of Kowloon, the best way to feel the rhythm of the city.

How much does a trip to Hong Kong cost

The currency is the Hong Kong dollar. A meal at a street stall is about HK$60 ($7.60), while a pricier restaurant can reach HK$800. Cash is still welcome and ATMs are everywhere, while chain hotels and larger restaurants take cards. It is handy to get an Octopus card for transport and small payments.

When is the best time to visit Hong Kong

The most pleasant weather falls from October to December, warm and less humid. Summer is hot and rainy, but August brings the Hungry Ghost Festival, one of the major events. Spring can be foggy and winter is mild, so the city is comfortable to explore almost all year.

Getting to and around Hong Kong

Flights land at Hong Kong International Airport, linked to the centre by an express train and buses. High-speed trains connect Hong Kong with Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai, while buses and ferries reach Macau and mainland cities. On the ground the MTR metro rules, with a ticket from about HK$5 to HK$55 depending on distance. There are also historic double-decker trams at a flat fare of about HK$2.60, plus buses. The easiest way to pay is the Octopus card. Traffic drives on the left, and renting a car rarely pays off.
