October to April (cooler, drier months with comfortable temperatures and clearer skies; avoid the hottest and most humid summer months and peak typhoon season).

Subtropical climate: hot, humid summers (June–August) with heavy rain and occasional typhoons; mild, pleasant winters (December–February). Expect sea breezes year-round near the promenade.

The promenade and outdoor areas are free to access 24/7. Murray House houses private businesses (restaurants and shops) with their own opening hours — typical restaurant hours are roughly 11:00–22:00 but vary by tenant. There is no formal museum entrance fee for Murray House itself; check specific businesses for prices and opening times.

Access from Central or Admiralty by bus (e.g., routes from Central Exchange Square or various routes via Causeway Bay), taxi, or minibus. Nearest MTR stations: Admiralty or Central (then bus/taxi). The promenade is largely wheelchair accessible, with ramps and wide paths; some individual shops and restaurants in Murray House may have steps — check ahead for wheelchair access or staff assistance. Limited parking is available in Stanley but can be crowded on weekends.

2–4 hours for a relaxed visit; half a day if combining shopping, dining and a walk. A full day if also visiting nearby Repulse Bay or hiking routes.

Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), light layers for evenings, and a compact umbrella during summer/typhoon season. Bring a refillable water bottle.

Try fresh seafood (steamed fish, prawns, lobster), local snacks and cafes. Stanley Market is known for silk garments, pearls, knock-down souvenirs, and leather goods — practice light bargaining. Pick up locally made crafts or a jar of chili sauce and tea as souvenirs.
