Do I need a visa to visit Hong Kong?

How do I get from the airport to Hong Kong city center?
Hong Kong's main airport connects to the city center via metro, express train, or airport bus. See the airport transfer section of our Hong Kong guide.
Can I use 14 days for both Hong Kong and a side trip?

Is Hong Kong safe for tourists?
Yes. Hong Kong has very low violent crime rates and is widely considered safe for foreign tourists. Standard petty-theft precautions apply. See our <a href="/is-china-safe-2026/">is China safe</a> page.
