Taiwan is best experienced with family! If you’re taking your entire fam to explore Taiwan soon, then be sure to do so before 31 July 2020 for visa-free access. There's a bunch to see, do and eat in Taiwan - and the experience is twice as good with family. However, group travels can be quite heavy on your bank account, so check out some of our budget-friendly options and activities for a fun, but cost-efficient, time in Taiwan!

There are multiple airlines that offer flights from Manila to Taipei on a day-to-day basis. For budget options, Cebu Pacific and AirAsia usually hold seat sales, so be sure to watch out for their next sale to book your quick getaway to Taiwan!

As of 2 July 2019, Philippine passport holders do not need a visa to travel to Taiwan until 31 July 2020.

One way to save big on this Taiwan trip is to purchase a Taipei Unlimited Fun Pass. Passholders get free admission to over 30 attractions in and around Taipei, but you get unlimited access to public transportation as well.

Make sure the entire family stays connected throughout your Taiwan adventure! That said, be sure to pick up a 4G WiFi device for the family to make travelling around the city much easier.

Pre-book your private airport transfers to and from your accommodation before leaving for Taipei. This way you can hit the ground running from the moment your family lands!

Kick off your Taiwan adventures at Taipei 101! Pre-book your tickets on Klook and spend less time queuing up and more time at the 89th floor observatory, where you truly get the best view of the city.

Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall is a must-visit attraction for all first-timers. Not only do you get to explore the historical exhibits inside the halls, but a walk around the memorial grounds and gardens makes for amazing family photos.

Dive into Taipei’s colorful culture and visit the National Palace Museum! The iconic Taiwan attraction is home to over 700,000 Chinese artifacts and artworks that tell tales of the nation’s past. With your Taipei Fun Pass, everyone in the family can visit this museum for free!

There are a number of temples around Taipei, however, if you intend to take the family to just one - Longshan Temple is the most popular. Not only is it visually stunning with its intricate decor, it’s also one of the best places to experience Taiwan’s vibrant culture.

Night markets are a big thing in Taipei - and the best one is said to be Shilin Night Market. Don’t worry too much about going early; night markets in Taipei are open until the wee hours of the morning. March through rows of food stalls and clothing racks for hours and be sure to leave with a loot! Must-try food includes Stinky Tofu, Chicken Cutlets and Castella Cakes!

A popular day trip activity among tourists, Yehliu Geopark is definitely a must-do when visiting Taiwan! This Northern Taiwan seaside location is home to some of the country’s most iconic sights - specifically the naturally-carved stone structures you’ve probably seen all throughout social media.

While you’re at Yehliu, make your way to Yehliu Ocean World with the family and discover new and fascinating sea creatures! This is one activity the kids will truly enjoy.

Cap off the day at one of Taipei’s popular areas - Ximending. Here, you can spend hours looking through endless racks of clothing, munching on every kind of street food available, and picking up some pineapple cakes for friends back home.

This aptly-name neighborhood in Taichung is home to a long walk of vibrantly painted houses and establishment. It's a great place to bring the kids and snap some photos for the 'gram!

Also located in Taichung is the Zhonghse Flower Market. Here, you'll find the flower field of your dreams - blooming different flora every season! Don't you think this will make for some wonderful photos?

Since you're in Taichung, why not check out the districts' own night markets? Discover new street food, delicacies, and even new flavours of milk tea. Feng Chia Night Market is the most popular market in Taichung, and a couple minutes through the maze of stalls will make you realize why.

On your final day, convince the family to do one last bonding activity. The hike up to Elephant Mountain is perfect for first-time hikers, and is better done in the morning. Apart from the glorious sunrise, you'll feast your eyes on one of the best skyline views of the city.
