The summit of Victoria Peak (The Peak) is accessible free of charge, but to enjoy the best views from Sky Terrace 428, you need to buy a ticket. The cost for adults is HKD 52 (Sky Terrace only). You can find updated rates and buy tickets online on the official The Peak website.

Victoria Peak, known locally as 'Tai Ping Shan' or 'Mountain of Peace,' was, from colonial times, an exclusive residential district for Hong Kong's upper-class British residents because of its cooler climate. Today, it is a symbol of the city and offers a panorama that reflects Hong Kong's impressive urbanization and geography, making it a landmark for locals and tourists alike.
The best time to visit is at sunset, as you will be able to see the city in daylight, the dazzling twilight, and the nighttime lights of Hong Kong turning on—an unforgettable experience. As for the best season, the autumn months (September to November) usually offer clearer skies and pleasant temperatures.
