"Hong Kong is one of the most diverse destinations in the world, with something to do for everyone. If you're a culture vulture, a shopper or you just want to relax by a luxury pool, Hong Kong has all these things!
"A must-see whilst visiting is Victoria Peaks, where you can relax drinking a chilled glass of wine whilst looking down over the whole city. A short boat ride away (or Ngong Ping cable car for the more daring) is Langtau island, where you can take the kids to Disneyland or visit the Ngong Ping village with the awe inspiring Giant Buddha statue.
"A final must to do in Hong Kong is the evening harbour cruise followed by dinner at Felix, which is the restaurant on the top floor of the Peninsular Hotel. Dinner here speaks for itself!"
Airport parking for a Hong Kong holiday
Fly straight to Hong Kong from London Heathrow
Flights to Hong Kong are direct from Heathrow, with British Airways, Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific Airways, Qantas and Virgin Atlantic all offering routes to the famous city. Opened in 1998, Hong Kong international airport is a major international gateway to China and the Far East.
Best price guarantee for airport parking
We have a wide range of parking at Heathrow airport if you're flying direct to Hong Kong from the London airport. If you're taking a non-direct route then don't forget that we have parking at 25 other UK airports, and if you can find cheaper within 24 hours, we'll let you park for FREE.
Why book your parking with Holiday Extras?
Parking with Holiday Extras doesn't just have to mean leaving your car behind either. We offer a choice of optional extras to help take the hassle out of arriving at the airport and make your journey just that little bit easier.
We can text you with traffic news and shopping discounts, meet you at the terminal and park your car for you and we could even give it a thorough clean with a valet service. For more information you can read our parking upgrades page.
Despite their popularity, taxis are often more expensive than driving and parking at the airport. We've made a taxi-vs-parking cost calculator to help you see how much you could save.
