You can find your way to Sky100 easily with the city’s well-developed transport system.

By Train

Two types of trains run across the city –

High-Speed Rail

The High-Speed Rail of Hong Kong connects 44 destinations in the Mainland to Hong Kong West Kowloon.

Sky100 Hong Kong deck is just 10 minutes from the Hong Kong West Kowloon Station.

Once you get off at Kowloon Station, take the Exit M and walk over the footbridge which connects ELEMENTS Metal Zone and continue following the directions to Sky100.

Sky100 Hong Kong Observation deck is right above the Kowloon Station on the Tung Chung Line.

Once you get down, take Exit C to reach the ICC tower.

By Bus

There are several public bus routes with stops at the Sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck.

You can get to the Observatory from all the districts of the city.

No matter which bus you are traveling in, your final stop will be the MTR Kowloon Station Bus Terminus.

From the Bus Terminus, a brisk 5 minutes walk can get you to Sky100.

If you are traveling from within Kowloon, you can board the bus with route numbers 8, 11, 215X, 215P, or 203E.

But if you are traveling from New Territories, you must board the buses with route number 261B, 270P, 281A or 296D.

By Mini Bus

Another alternative is to take a Mini Bus to the Sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck.

There are several stops throughout Kowloon from where you can board the minibus.

To reach the ICC Tower, you must get down at the MTR Kowloon Station Bus Terminus.

The buses you can catch are 26, 74, 74S, or 77M.

By Taxi

Taxi is the easiest way to find your way to the Sky100 Tower.

Ask the driver to drop you at Sky100 or International Commerce Centre.

A ten-minute ride to your destination would cost you about HKD 35.

If the taxi goes through a tunnel, you must pay the tunnel fare in addition to the charges.

From Shenzhen International Airport, China

To get to Sky100 Tower from Shenzhen International Airport in mainland China, you need to ride the China Coach.

At the end of an hour-long convenient trip, you will get dropped at the MTR Kowloon Station China Coach Terminus.

Sky100 opening hours

Sky100 in Hong Kong is open from 10 am to 8.30 pm all days of the week.

The last entry to the deck is at 8 pm.

How long does Sky100 take

It takes about 1 hour to explore the Sky100 observatory deck in Hing Kong. 

However, some guests prefer staying longer for photos and to enjoy the stunning views from the top.

Also, since the tickets are not timed, you can stay on the till the closing time.

Best time to visit Sky100

If you are looking for a quiet time and want to avoid crowds, visit the Sky100 Tower between 10 am to 11.30 am.

If you can’t make it to Hong Kong’s Observatory in the morning, the next best time to visit is after 5 pm to enjoy the sunset and after 7 pm to experience the glittery and romantic night views.

Prefer going on weekdays rather than on weekends and public holidays for an uninterrupted and peaceful tour.

Sunset, the best time to visit

Sunset is also a great time to visit any observatory, and Sky100 is no different.

That’s why it is most crowded just an hour before sunset.

Besides stunning sunset views, you also get to enjoy Hong Kong’s skyline during the day and at night.

It is best to arrive an hour earlier and give yourself enough time to reach the top of the observation area.

Depending on the time of the year, the sunset times in Hong Kong vary.

Victoria Peak vs Sky100

If you want to experience entire Hong Kong from above, Victoria Peak and the Sky100 are the best options.

More about Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak is a 552 m (1,811 ft) high hill in Hong Kong, known by many names such as Mount Austin, The Peak, etc.

The Peak gets a lot of tourists who come for attractions such as The Peak Tram, Peak Tower, Sky Terrace 428, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, etc.

Even though both Sky100 and The Peak give you a bird’s eye view of Hong Kong, they differ from each other in several ways.

At The Peak, you can experience a fantastic Tram journey, Nature at its best, an Observatory and lots of fun activities.

At Sky100, you get a more urban experience fuelled by technology, for instance, the lightning-fast elevator which takes you to the 100th floor of the ICC tower in less than a minute.

Victoria Peak or Sky100: Do not choose between Sky100 and The Peak. Both offer a completely different experience, which is why it is a must to visit them both.
