Everything you need to know about Go City’s Hong Kong passes

From sky-high views to neon-lit cruises, Go City makes Hong Kong sightseeing simple, flexible, and great value.

Hong Kong skyline

Planning a Hong Kong escape? Expect soaring skylines, green peaks, island ferries and food worth crossing the harbor for. Go City Hong Kong keeps it easy with two flexible options—the All-Inclusive Pass and the Explorer Pass—covering many of the city’s must-see attractions, cruises and tours. Whether you love a packed schedule, prefer to graze through neighborhoods at your own pace, or you’re traveling with kids, friends or solo, there’s a simple way to plan, budget and go.

The basics: what is the Go City Hong Kong pass?

 

It’s a digital sightseeing pass for Hong Kong that helps you visit more for less, with two product options: the All-Inclusive Pass and the Explorer Pass.

All-Inclusive Pass

  • Choose a pass that covers sightseeing from one day up to a whole week.
  • Best for travelers who want to do a lot in a short time—think cable cars in the morning, museums at lunch and a harbor cruise at sunset.
  • Visit as many included attractions as you like each day your pass is valid.
  • Great value if you plan full sightseeing days and want maximum flexibility to change plans on the go.

Explorer Pass

  • Choose 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 options from the included attractions.
  • Valid for 30 days from first use—ideal for slower trips, repeat visitors or anyone mixing sightseeing with work or family time.
  • Pick your highlights and enjoy plenty of breathing room between activities.
  • Clear, upfront costs with no pressure to cram your days

Both options are fully digital, sit in the Go City app and typically offer solid savings compared to buying tickets separately.

Using your pass

What’s included?

Ngong Ping Buddha

There’s a wide mix of views, cruises, cable cars, museums and tours. Here are just a few of our favorites…

Sky-high views

 

Hit the Peak Tram for that steep, grin-inducing ride to Victoria Peak and take in the city-and-sea panorama from the top. Pair it with a twilight hike to Lion Rock just as the Hong Kong skyline starts to twinkle. Between the Peak and Lion Rock, you get two different vantage points that show off why Hong Kong is endlessly photogenic.

Harbor cruises and city highlights

 

Sail Victoria Harbour on a junk—those scarlet sails and open-air decks feel wonderfully old-school, and the photo ops come thick and fast as you glide past Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. Prefer to cover more ground? Big Bus Hong Kong’s hop-on hop-off tour loops through major neighborhoods with audio commentary, so you can jump off for temples, markets and waterfront strolls, then hop right back on whenever your feet need a break.

Peaks, islands and cable cars

 

Ride the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to Lantau Island for mountain-and-sea views that make the journey half the fun. At the top, stroll Ngong Ping Village, visit the massive Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery, or follow the peaceful trail to the Wisdom Path’s wooden columns. It’s a refreshing contrast to the bustle of Central and a great half-day out.

Culture, museums and neighborhoods

 

Balance the big views with time on the ground. Madame Tussauds Hong Kong adds some playful pop culture at the Peak. Down by the piers, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum charts the city’s seafaring story—from traditional junks to container ships—and offers a great look at the harbor you’ve been cruising. Round things out with guided neighborhood walks or audio tours that unpack history, street food and hidden corners.

Plan ahead

 

A little preparation unlocks a lot of extra fun in Hong Kong. Start by roughing out your days by area—Central and the Peak pair nicely; Tsim Sha Tsui and West Kowloon go well together; Lantau is your cable car day. Use the map view in the app to cluster stops and avoid zigzagging across the harbor.

Build in a buffer for popular experiences. Ngong Ping 360 and evening harbor cruises can be busier on weekends and holidays. Check opening hours and last entry times—some museums close earlier than you’d think. Keep an eye on weather, too; clear mornings are perfect for views, while drizzle is a good excuse for museums and food-focused tours.

Finally, pace yourself. The All-Inclusive Pass shines when you start early and keep momentum. The Explorer Pass is brilliant for slow travel—one headline experience per day with plenty of wandering in between. Either way, bookmark your must-dos in the app and have a Plan B ready in case of long queues or inclement weather.

Reservations

Go City Hong Kong app

Some experiences need advance booking—especially cruises, walking tours and certain guided activities. You’ll find step-by-step booking links and instructions inside each attraction listing in the app. Make your reservations as soon as you know your dates, and have your pass number handy when you book. For attractions that don’t require reservations, arrive a little early at peak times and be ready to show your pass on your phone.

What’s the main advantage of Go City Hong Kong passes?

 

  • Real savings versus buying individual tickets, especially on busy, view-and-cruise-heavy days.
  • Flexibility to choose how you travel: go all-out with All-Inclusive or cherry-pick with Explorer.
  • Easy entry with your phone—no paper tickets, no fuss.
  • Built-in discovery: try experiences you might skip if paying separately.
  • Up-to-date info in the app to help you pivot when plans change.

Is buying a pass worth it?

Peak Tram

If Hong Kong is on your list for views, harbor time and headline attractions, then yes—this is a smart way to see more for less. Go City Hong Kong keeps the planning simple, the entry seamless and the budget predictable. Pack your curiosity, line up a few favorites like the Peak Tram, Ngong Ping 360 and a junk harbor cruise, and enjoy a city that dazzles from the mountains to the water—without the need to juggle a dozen separate tickets.

Entry to some of Hong Kong’s bucket-listers can run upwards of HK$500 individually, so it doesn’t take long for the pass to pay for itself. 

Let’s say you get a 2-day All-Inclusive Pass and visit: 

Day 1

Hop-on hop-off bus tour (HK$425)

Dim sum lunch (HK$300)

Harbor junk boat tour (HK$250)

Peak Tram (HK$168)

Day 2 

Ngong Ping 360 cable car and village (HK$395)

8-course Peking duck dinner (HK$610)

 

That’s HK$2148 worth of tickets on a HK$1399 pass. That equals serious savings of HK$749 or around 35%!*
