Hong Kong travel information
Travelling in Hong Kong is a breeze due to its compact size, excellent public transportation system and well-developed tourist infrastructure. As it’s a prosperous city, medical facilities are modern and reliable, yet pickpocketing and other street crime can still occur at times, particularly in crowded areas.
Hong Kong is a safe and hassle-free place to travel, with incidences of crime against foreigners rare. However, you should take sensible precautions against pickpocketing and other street crime. For further advice, check the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website.
