How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Hong Kong (0.708543530721999, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.1, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 7.79708333333333 HKD to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
At the budget level of $70 a day, most spending goes toward basic lodging, inexpensive local meals, and public transit, leaving little room for paid attractions. The mid-range figure of $165 a day allows for a proper hotel room, sit-down restaurant meals, and occasional paid sights, while the luxury tier of $350 a day covers upgraded lodging and more frequent dining out. Over a full week these differences compound into totals of about $490, $1,155, and $2,450 for the three tiers.
June, July, and August are the off-season months and tend to be the cheapest and quietest time to visit, though they also bring the heaviest rain and highest temperatures of the year. All figures here are estimates meant to guide planning rather than fixed prices, and actual costs will vary with individual choices around lodging, dining, and activities.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Jun, Jul and Aug.
