💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A full dim sum lunch at a proper teahouse runs €11–19, about what you'd pay for a menú del día in Madrid, except this one comes with har gow and pork buns. A cha chaan teng dinner, noodles and a drink included, lands around €8. Beer at a dai pai dong stall costs €2, the same as a caña back home, poured next to a street full of steam and neon instead of a terrace.
☀️ The Weather
Hong Kong stays firmly in summer through September, with daytime highs around 30°C and lows near 25°C. It's humid, with rain most weeks, so pack for warmth and the odd downpour rather than a jacket. The heat holds well into October before easing off.
🏨 Where to Stay
Hong Kong covers everything from harbour-view towers to quiet guesthouses in the Mid-Levels.
Bishop Lei International House — 8.0/10 · From €75/night A quiet, well-run guesthouse above Central, run by the Catholic Diocese, with easy access to the escalator into the city centre.
Hotel ICON — 8.6/10 · From €145/night A design-forward mid-range base in Kowloon with harbour views and a rooftop pool looking straight across at the skyline.
Rosewood Hong Kong — 9.3/10 · From €460/night 65 storeys above Victoria Dockside, with a spa, three pools and the kind of skyline view that makes the price make sense.
🎯 What to Do
Hong Kong packs mountains, harbour and street food into one dense, vertical city.
Ride the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak — A near-vertical climb ending in the best skyline view in Asia, best saved for sunset.
Cross Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry — A century-old ferry ride between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, cheap and unmissable after dark.
Visit the Big Buddha on Lantau Island — The Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery, reached by cable car over the hills.
Wander Temple Street Night Market — Street food stalls, fortune tellers and bargain stands that only really wake up after sunset.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Hong Kong is also the easiest entry point into southern China.
Macau — Portuguese architecture, casinos and custard tarts, an hour away by ferry across the Pearl River Delta.
Shenzhen — A tech megacity built from scratch in four decades, reachable by ferry or a short train ride over the border.
Guangzhou — A sprawling, historic trading city on the mainland, under two hours away by high-speed rail.
Fares to Hong Kong this low don't turn up often, especially with a route this direct from Spain. Grab September while it's on the table.
