Planning your trip to Hong Kong
Best time to visit
October to December is clear and comfortable. Summers are hot and humid, with a typhoon season from roughly July to September that can disrupt plans.
How many days you need
Three to four days covers the harbor, the peak viewpoint, markets, tram rides and a dim sum meal, and one outlying island. Add a day for another nearby city.
Getting around
The metro, trams, ferries and buses are efficient, and a rechargeable transit card works across most of them. The harbor ferry is a low-cost way to enjoy the skyline.
What to skip
Queues for the peak tram can be very long at busy times. Go early or in the evening, or take a bus up instead.
