Things to do in Taipei

It was a very well organized trip, and everything went smoothly and on time. The bus had air conditioning, which honestly saved us from the heat all day! Our tour guide, Danny, was the sweetest person. always positive, smiling, and very knowledgeable about the history and geography. I booked this big package, so we got to visit so many different places. Some were more of a quick see type of stop, and I’m glad we didn’t stay there too long. I think they arranged the time really well overall. It was definitely worth the money. There’s no way I could have seen all these places if I had traveled by myself. I’m really glad I booked this tour

What a nice experience. The tour guide michael was so accommodating and funny that the journey to each tourist spot is never boring. He’s also a good photographer. I will definitely recommend this trip.

Very easy to book and use. Need to get a physical ticket at the ticket counter on the 1st floor. I went on a weekday to 89th and 101th floor. Unfortunately the weather became cloudy and rainy around the evening time so the view was not that great, however managed get few photos whenever the clouds dispersed. The tuned mass damper on 88th floor was interesting. In my opinion going to 101th floor is not worth it. It is quite small and made like a fern garden. Also the windows are of half length. 89th floor will have much better views with full length glass walls.

Very easy to use, just scan your code and they'll give you a receipt with a QR to use on the gates. No problems using it at Maokong Gondola and Taipei Zoo. I was also able to use the zoo train one-way.

Good place to spend a whole day. start from the top and work your way down. the collection is ordered from earliest period on the top floor, and later pieces on lower floors. public transport to get there is easy and cheaper then the sight seeing bus. there are so many pieces there you might want to come another day to see the rest. Do eat before coming here as there is only a small cafe that is constantly crowded. Besides their most popular pieces that people seem to like to view, you will find other pieces you will like I found the gate cups to be the ones I prefer over the popular pieces.

Booking our tickets online right before entering Taipei Zoo turned out to be a great move, as paying in PHP was noticeably cheaper than purchasing directly in NTD at the gate. The zoo grounds are massive, beautifully maintained, and offer incredible value, but timing is everything when visiting. Arriving at 1:00 PM already put us on a tight schedule, and an unexpected two-hour rainstorm completely stalled our plans. Because of the weather delay and the sheer size of the park, we weren't able to explore the entire zoo, but we definitely plan to visit again on our next trip to Taipei. For anyone planning a visit, I strongly recommend buying your tickets online in advance for the best rate, arriving right when the park opens, and packing umbrellas so a sudden downpour won't cut your day short.

August 23, 2026 (Sunday) Two years ago, when we visited, it was a sunny day. Today, the weather was very cool, with a light drizzle. However, because of the rain, the roller coaster was temporarily closed, which was a shame because we didn't get to ride it. We rode the Jungle Roar Treehouse (free fall), the pirate ship, the spinning teacups, the Galaxy Express (monorail), the Ferris wheel, the Happy Bumper Cars, and the Space Gyro. It was truly worth the price of admission! My most memorable experience was riding the pirate ship; it was actually very comfortable, and my daughter and I rode it twice. My son was glued to the sandbox and spent an hour and a half there. 😅 We didn't leave until it got dark (6:30 PM), and it was hard to say goodbye.

The Botero exhibition was truly delightful! The exhibition was very well-curated, featuring many paintings and dedicated sections exploring the artist's creative themes, as well as interactive games (like uploading a photo to transform it into Botero's style 😆). I highly recommend watching the introductory video about the painter; it will give you a deeper understanding of his work. The souvenir area was also very refined. I bought a canvas bag (which came with an iron-on patch) and a frameless print of the Mona Lisa. I'm so happy! ☺️

it’s a great place to visit if you’re not afraid to horrible things
