About Taipei

Night markets, Taipei 101 and hot springs in the hills

Taipei is a friendly, safe and food-obsessed capital, with night markets, temples, tea houses and the Taipei 101 tower. Its efficient MRT makes it easy to explore.

Beyond the city, Beitou hot springs, Jiufen's lantern-lit streets and Yangmingshan National Park are all within an hour.

Best time
October to December and March to April for mild, dry weather. Summers are hot and humid with typhoon risk; winters are cool and damp.
How long
Three days.
Getting around
The MRT is clean, cheap and covers most sights. Buses, taxis and bike share fill the gaps; an EasyCard works on all of them.
