Visiting Hongkong - how much $ to plan for (self.hongkong)

How is the cost of living in Hongkong these days? I'll be visiting later this summer and wondering how much cash to bring. Accomodation is paid for so would need money for food, transportation, and any visits for museums. I've been to HK before so have done most of the touristy things already. Thanks!

HK has a huge range of cost. If you are ok taking public transport, and eating normal food, you can get by easily on 40-50 USD per day.

If you want to get fancy, go to swanky bars, the sky is the limit.

Just the MTR is good for me, no bars. Is there a week pass with the octopus card? I couldn't find info online.

Only a day pass, which isn't that good of a deal unless you're visiting multiple HK districts in a day.
