Current Travel Situation
Slovenia to Hong Kong: What You Need to Know
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China with its own immigration system, currency, and legal framework operating under "one country, two systems". For Slovenian travellers, Hong Kong offers the dramatic Victoria Harbour skyline, Cantonese cuisine (dim sum, roast goose, wonton noodles), the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island, and a ferry connection to Macau. Despite political changes since 2020, Hong Kong retains its status as a global financial hub and a compelling destination in its own right, separate from a mainland China visit.
How to Get There
Hong Kong Island: Victoria Peak (tram or hiking the Pok Fu Lam Country Trail), the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, the Temple Street Night Market analogue in Sheung Wan's Hollywood Road antique shops, and the Aberdeen fishing village. Kowloon: the Temple Street Night Market, Ladies' Market, Chi Lin Nunnery, and the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade for the Symphony of Lights show. Lantau: Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) via cable car from Tung Chung, and the fishing village of Tai O. Macau (1-hour high-speed ferry): the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Cotai Strip casino resort, and the Venetian.
Money & Banking
Hong Kong uses the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), pegged to the USD at 7.8. As of 2025, EUR 1 is approximately HKD 8.5. Hong Kong is expensive for accommodation; mid-range hotels start at HKD 700-1,000. Eating at local cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style diners) is affordable: a set lunch costs HKD 60-100. The Octopus Card covers all public transport.
Practical Tips
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is a major Asia-Pacific hub served by Cathay Pacific with connections from Frankfurt, London, and Amsterdam. The Airport Express train reaches Hong Kong Station (on Hong Kong Island) in 24 minutes. The MTR metro covers all major areas efficiently. The Star Ferry crosses Victoria Harbour between Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon) and Central (Hong Kong Island) for HKD 4.20.
