A glistening harbour. A bustling nightlife. And an unmatched food and drink scene to fuel your adventures. Hong Kong offers a truly diverse range of experiences for its visitors, making a trip to this global city unlike any other.

One minute, you could be eating street food in the beating heart of the city, and the next, you're at the top of a mountain peak, overlooking the city skyline and Victoria Harbour below.

Planning a visit to this incredible destination with your significant other? We've pulled together an itinerary to help you soak up the city's best bits, both together and solo. Because let's face it, we all like spending our hard-earned annual leave differently.

From unmissable art exhibitions to world-class sporting events and more, here are our top picks for an unforgettable trip to Hong Kong.

What to see and do in Hong Kong.

A trip to Hong Kong is great year-round, but if you can make it this March, you'll be extra spoiled for choice when it comes to activities. Hong Kong is brimming with unmissable events at this time of year that you and your significant other can enjoy together or solo.

So much so that there's a weekend known as 'Super March' when Hong Kong hosts two major events: Art Basel and the Hong Kong Sevens. And this year, they're happening from March 28–30.

For an unforgettable arts and culture fix, make tracks to Art Basel Hong Kong, an international art fair showcasing contemporary artworks from around the globe.

Expect a mix of free and ticketed events, including installations, panel discussions, film screenings, performances and more. It really is a must-visit for anyone planning a holiday in Hong Kong during this time.

If someone in your relationship is flying the sporty spice flag, push Hong Kong Sevens to the top of your travel to-do list.

Thousands of fans flock to Hong Kong to catch this thrilling three-day sporting event featuring both men's and women's competitions, all vying for points in the World Rugby Sevens Series. But it isn't just about footy. The Sevens has more of a festival feel to it, with music performances, delicious food and drink options and an incredible atmosphere of cheering fans.

If your partner has slinked off to another day at the Hong Kong Sevens or needs a little lie-in after a big night on the town, head out for some solo retail therapy at some of the city's best shopping precincts.

Landmark and Harbour City are world-class shopping destinations, offering unparalleled retail experiences for different shoppers. Landmark caters to luxury brands and high-end shopping experiences, while Harbour City's range of hundreds of stores is guaranteed to suit a broad range of budgets.

Nature fix needed? The Victoria Peak — or simply The Peak, as the locals call it — is a must.

It's the highest point on Hong Kong Island, offering spectacular panoramic views of the city skyline and Victoria Harbour. To reach the summit, catch the historic Peak Tram and explore lush gardens and dining options along the way. To add a little more romance, head there for sunset and even more dramatic views.

For something more intrepid, make time for the Dragon's Back hike, one of Asia's best urban trails. The moderate eight kilometre path boasts panoramic views of Shek O Beach, Tai Tam Bay and the South China Sea, and is an ideal half-day activity to add to your itinerary.

The best bit? It ends at Big Wave Bay, where you can kick back and relax on the beach after your hiking adventure.

And no holiday to Hong Kong is complete without a ride on The Star Ferry, which has been travelling between the Kowloon Peninsula's southern tip and Hong Kong Island for over 120 years. It's the perfect vantage point to marvel at the city skyline in all its glory and a truly iconic voyage.

Where to stay in Hong Kong.

The hotels in Hong Kong can get pretty swanky. But choosing the perfect place to rest your head usually boils down to a few key things: location, price point and the activities you're keen to do while in town.

If you're keen to go all out and are willing to splurge on a night or two of fancy accom, The Rosewood Hong Kong is the epitome of ultra-luxury.

Situated in the buzzy shopping and nightlife district of Tsim Sha Tsui, a stay here will be one for your memoir.

For something super convenient at a more accessible price, you really can't go past Ovolo Central — and the name says it all. It's located on Hong Kong Island, close to world-class restaurants, botanical gardens and the iconic Victoria Peak.

If you're planning to visit when Art Basel is on, the Grand Hyatt's location will be hard to pass up. It's only a seven-minute walk from the harbourside Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, where the event takes place.

Where to eat and drink in Hong Kong.

Aussies have become pretty famous on the culinary world stage for one thing: breakfast. And in Hong Kong, the first meal of the day is all about efficiency and unique flavours you have to try, including dishes like macaroni soup with ham, congee and milk tea.

When the sun dips, it's all about the night markets. And Temple Street Night Market, located in Jordan, is one of Hong Kong's best.

The vibrant marketplace is lined with an array of colourful stalls selling everything from clothing and souvenirs to tasty street food and drink. Pick up some local snacks like fish balls or dim sum and let the buzzy atmosphere sink in.

Tim Ho Wan is a go-to restaurant for many and is considered one of the best places to dine in Hong Kong. Its reputation attracts diners from across the globe — as do its affordable prices. Here, it's all about high-quality dim sum and signature dishes like the baked BBQ pork buns, har gow (shrimp dumplings) and pan-fried turnip cake.
