Question

We are going to be here for 7 days can we buy a MTR pass for the week

Answer

Yes, you can use a variety of options for convenient travel on the Hong Kong MTR during a 7-day visit. While Hong Kong does not have a specific "7-day unlimited MTR pass," there are alternatives that work well for tourists.

Here are the main options:

Octopus Card: This is a rechargeable smart card widely accepted on MTR trains, buses, trams, ferries, and even some convenience stores. You can load it with money and simply tap to enter and exit the MTR. It offers convenience and small discounts on some fares.
Tourist Day Pass: The MTR offers a One-Day Tourist Pass, which allows unlimited rides on the MTR system for one day. If you plan heavy usage on certain days, you can buy multiple day passes.
Airport Express and other add-ons: If you’re arriving via Hong Kong Airport, the Airport Express offers separate tickets, but Octopus cards can also be used for discounted Airport Express rides.

For a 7-day stay, the most flexible and convenient option is usually to get an Octopus card at the airport or any MTR station. You can load enough value for your trips across the week. If you plan to travel extensively on MTR only for one or two days, then a One-Day Tourist Pass on those days can supplement the Octopus card.

Additional tips:

Keep the Octopus card topped up to avoid running out of balance during your journeys.
Octopus cards are refundable for the deposit plus remaining balance when leaving Hong Kong.
Combine the Octopus card with the One-Day Tourist Pass on busy sightseeing days for maximum convenience and cost-efficiency.

Overall, using the Octopus card for a 7-day visit provides seamless access to public transport, including MTR, buses, and trams, making it the most practical choice.
