    Travelling Around Hong Kong

    From the moment you step off the plane, you’ll find that Hong Kong is an accessible, well-organized city that’s easy to navigate, even for first-time travellers.

    Travelling from Hong Kong Airport into the City

    hong kong airport express route map
    You can easily travel into the city from the airport via three main ways: Hong Kong Airport Express, public bus or taxi. The Hong Kong Airport Express will take you into the city in less than half an hour! Book your tickets on Klook and you can just scan your QR code at the gate and board the train, where you'll enjoy free WiFi and device charging stations at carriages 1 and 7.

    Taking Public Transport

    If you are taking the public bus from the airport into the city instead (for instance, if your hotel is located just right outside a bus stop), then you will need to arm yourself with an Octopus Card (which is Hong Kong's equivalent of Singapore's EZ-Link card).
    You can use your Octopus Card for all public transport in Hong Kong - yes, this includes the MTR!
    hong kong octopus card
    We booked our Octopus Card on Klook, which you can collect easily at the airport. It also comes preloaded with 50HKD so you can hop onto the bus straightaway. When you need to top-up your Octopus Card, simply visit any MTR station - there are top-up machines there that you can use.
