Chris LiewNovember 9, 2014There's no need to get tickets to the sky terrace. There are two free options to get vantage view. One is the Lion View Point. The other is the rooftop of the building opposite.

Ryan MeehanJanuary 5, 2014This tip is simple: If you arrive early in the morning (before 9am), you will walk right on to the tram and be up to the peak in less than 15 minutes. In the afternoon, the line can exceed 2 hours.- Mike ZMay 10, 2014If you have an Octopus card you can skip most of the line. Entrance is by the Madame Tussaud ticket booth.
ShopneerAugust 29, 2017It's a funicular railway in HK, which carries both tourists and residents to the upper levels of HK. Offers good views over the skyscrapers of HK. Welcome traveler to ask me questions about HK.
Robin BertelsOctober 7, 2016Ever heard of the Peak Tram illusion? Going up or down, you're facing uphill and get the impression the skyscrapers are falling towards the peak. Take the tram to experience the illusion. It's real!
Rüya LatifMay 18, 2014For a great view you should go around 6 pm so that you can watch the city with daylight and also at night. But dont forget that the waiting time can be 1-2 hours :/
RusJune 22, 2014Take bus 15 up to the peak & the tram down. The view by bus is amazing! Then take bus 15C to Central ferry. It's the open air double decked bus!
NmNovember 8, 2014Get here by a taxi, bus or metro. Then, you can get the tram to take you to the top. Don't miss the peak.
Gordon BellamyAugust 5, 2012Most important TIP ever!!! When lining up for the train there are over head lights.... Go to the 8th ! Light and STOP. This is where the back most door opens . TheBest seat is back row right!!!
Paul KraNovember 4, 2023Doesn't really matter if you buy ticket here or online, waiting time will be the same! Try to comes as early as possible to avoid the crowds, trust me!
Sharon MartinAugust 1, 2014Arrive early! Lines form by 10 a.m; get there soon after the tram starts running at 7 a.m. After reaching the terminus, take a hard right onto Lugard Road for a stroll around Victoria Peak.
Katie FarquharMarch 12, 2017Queue can be very long. Best come in the morning. Amazing views on the way up and at the top. The viewing deck is worth the extra.
Steven WakuuMay 4, 2018Lines get crazy long later in the day. It drops you off into a mall (I know, more malls). The tram ticket gets you free entry to the viewing at the top of the mall.
Magdalena MrázkováMay 23, 2017Don't get scared by the number of people in the queue as tram goes by every 8 mins and it has a capacity of 120 people. Fight your way for the place at the right side to have view
Samantha WongJuly 8, 2014The night view up here is really fabulous! But they really have to do something to control the disciplin of the queue! Have been queuing for close to an hour due to the cutting queue of 'others'- JernejSeptember 6, 2014One of the main attractions of Hong Kong island. With the ticket you also get the entrance for Sky terrace on the top of Victoria peak.
Ratoo LiAugust 25, 2014If the line goes across the street, just don't bother waiting and take a bus. Also, if you haven't got Madame Tussaud's tickets and want to see, go buy the HK$280 combo. Your time worth more than that
Karn R.January 11, 2015Great view from the tram but Don't bother with the sky pass or the return trip. Just buy a single trip to go up is enough. Then on the way down just take the bus number 15. It's cheaper and faster- It take you up from Madame Tussaud-Victoria Peak. Better you sit on in the right side. You can see an amazing view of HK's Skyline
Happy CatDecember 9, 2014Skip the long line and take a taxi to the top. It's cheap and you get to see a great neighborhood. Ride the tram down.
Jonathan FunJuly 26, 2011The Big Bus Tours charges HKD320 per pax for a 24 hour ride across Stanley, Aberdeen and Kowloon. This is one of the stops and it includes Peak Tram fares to the top.
MariJune 25, 2016Unless you have kids who will like the tram, I'd say skip and take a cab. It's hot, you can't see much and the steep incline made me feel sea sick.
Paul HaahrDecember 23, 2011From the "approx waiting time 1 hour" sign, the wait is almost exactly two hours. If you can, arrange your ride in advance with a travel agent to get in the fast line.
Paolo LimApril 9, 2014If you have an Octopus card with a balance of at least HK$28 (£2.30 or S$4.60), you can skip the queues.
CarolynJanuary 2, 2014Go early in the day to avoid super long lines. At 9 am we were able to buy tickets and hop right on... At 3 pm the lines were over two hours long.
Donald KeeDecember 17, 2016Love the ride but not the crowd. Could have a better system to allocated the number of people to each cabinet.
Chris R (thechristophe)December 1, 2019Try and get a seat, usually less busy than the upper station.
AbhishekNovember 25, 2016Pro tip - always look to buy tickets via group travel companies like Klook - avoids enormously long lines to get on the tram.
Farah JDecember 23, 2014Queued for quite a while to get on the tram since it's the holiday season and there were loads of tourists visiting the place.
Mark FlynnJanuary 5, 2013Buy the tram only ticket and go to the free observation deck on the top of the other building. View is better and saves you money.
Arto ToppiJanuary 2, 2015Don't bother to pay extra for the sky terrace ticket. There's free entrance to the top of the Peak Galleria that grants identical view.
Dick van LeeuwenNovember 7, 2011Try and get a seat at the right for magnificent views over the city. Peak and tram offer best views of HK.
Namchul SeongOctober 16, 2014sit on the right side going up for the view of the skyline, and anxiously waiting for
Andrew LeydenOctober 3, 2011Don't wait in line! Take a taxi or bus up to the Peak and ride the tram back. Lines can be very very long going up.
Mehmet BayburtSeptember 18, 2016Gotta buy tickets online or you can use your MTR transportation card for entry- IbrahemFebruary 21, 2015Since i did not get to go through it, i have only one advice... Go early... Reeeally early!
Coco HernandezJune 6, 2014The Octopus card works for the tram too... It's best to avoid the long lines! #HongKong #TravelTips
Sam HApril 11, 2015Very crowded on Sundays since all the day laborers get that day off, would recommend on any other day- Yodpha BusayasakulOctober 27, 2015Bad organized when it was too crowd. But you can't go to peak with others way. (Green bus can take you to the peak but hard to find one)
simon sFebruary 18, 2010Go up the peak on he tram is a real adventure but I recommend you walk down as it is a nice walk indeed.
Mcwooster MacGuffinAugust 28, 2013Sky terrace is slightly better view, but way more crowded and twice as expensive. View is almost identical from the free terraces, without having to fight your way through the crowds.
Seunghoon KimAugust 8, 2013Try taxi to go up and dont waste ur precious time of 2 hours. It takes $40~45 (one way ticket: $28 per person). You can use the tram on your way down.
Irene LokSeptember 30, 2011The slope is super steep but is quite enjoying. Try sitting on the right of the tram, the view is nicer.
