Local Transportation Tips

Getting around Hong Kong is easy and efficient thanks to its excellent public transportation system.

If your goal is to save money, public transit is definitely the most economical way to travel.

The MTR (subway) and buses offer extensive coverage at affordable prices.

Many travellers also enjoy exploring Hong Kong on foot, as it allows for a more immersive experience and the chance to discover hidden gems within local neighborhoods. Hong Kong is a very walkable city, especially areas like Central, Sheung Wan, and Tsim Sha Tsui.

Given the often heavy traffic and high parking fees, driving in Hong Kong is generally not recommended for visitors. Using public transportation or walking will help you save money and avoid the stress of navigating busy roads.
