We are group of 21 adults and 2 kids. We really enjoyed our visit to Taipei 101 Observatory! The views were amazing, and we had such a great time taking lots of photos. 📸✨ Definitely a must-visit when in Taipei! The whole experience was memorable, and we’re happy we got to see Taipei from above. 🏙️🤍

Visit the "Sou Fujimoto: Futures of the Future" exhibition with an early bird ticket! The exhibition features over a hundred exquisite architectural models, profoundly showcasing the spatial aesthetics of a future forest. One ticket grants access to both the JUT Art Museum and the brewery exhibition areas—it's a fantastic deal, highly recommended!

Such a beautiful experience and definitely one of the memorable parts of our trip! The Maokong Gondola ride was really enjoyable, especially with the amazing views of Taipei and the surrounding mountains along the way. The ride was comfortable and gave us a completely different view of the city. We especially loved visiting the Gaomei Wetlands. The scenery was incredible, with the wide-open wetlands, wind turbines, and beautiful views stretching into the distance. We happened to be there around sunset, which made everything look even more amazing. It’s a great place to slow down, take some photos, and enjoy the scenery away from the busy city. Definitely worth visiting!

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.

It's very comfortable to see the exhibition on a rainy weekday; there are very few people, and most, like me, are there alone to appreciate the line art. The exhibition is divided into nine sections. The first section features character line art, with the largest area dedicated to Rei. ❤️ I spent the most time in this section, as every piece of line art is worth savoring (Rei & Kaworu). Next are the line art for the Angels and NERV, even including line art for piano-playing hand gestures! I think the overall exhibition layout is quite good, covering all bases with line art of the boys, girls, and Angels in various scenes, complemented by models and animation.

Great 4.0

The exhibition details the fears one might face in life, presenting them from different perspectives. It's not the kind of exhibition designed to create a scary atmosphere. From my personal experience, it felt more like an opportunity to explore which fears align with past experiences. However, some of the terminology used is quite abstract, making it a bit difficult to understand.

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! ☺️

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.

0 daysLast-minute

2 daysTypical

10 daysEarly

Travellers from the Philippines typically book about 2 days ahead, which allows flexibility; during March peak demand consider booking earlier toward the 10-day mark. Based on Klook booking data, February 2026 – July 2026.

Top experiences in Taipei through the year

Taipei’s scene is led by live Events & shows, followed by city Tours, Massage treatments, Observation decks and Museums — a mix of entertainment, sightseeing and wellness that keeps demand lively through the first half of the year and peaks in March. Bookings taper off towards July, so expect the calendar to feel busiest in March and quieter in mid-to-late summer.

Best picks for families, couples and solo travellers

Families will enjoy Museums and Observation decks for easy, educational outings that suit mixed-age groups, while Events & shows offer family-friendly performances and city atmosphere. Couples often gravitate to Tours and the Observation decks for romantic viewpoints and shared experiences, plus Massages for a relaxed treat. Solo travellers and small groups can mix and match: Tours and Events & shows are the easiest ways to meet others, while Massages provide a solo pampering option.

What travellers from the Philippines should book ahead

Most visitors from the Philippines keep plans flexible in Taipei — typical bookings suggest you can lock things in a day or two before, though the most organised still book around ten days ahead. Booking earlier matters most in March, when demand is strongest; if you’re travelling then, secure popular shows, tours or prime observation-deck time well in advance.

How the main categories compare by price and who they suit

Museums are the easiest, most budget-friendly way into Taipei’s attractions, making them a good starting point for cost-conscious travellers and families. Events & shows and Observation decks sit in the mid-range, offering memorable experiences without premium pricing. Massages are the priciest overall and show the widest range of options, from modest entry-level treatments to premium wellness experiences, so they suit anyone from budget spa-goers to travellers after a luxury splurge. Tours cluster in the mid-range as well, appealing to couples and small groups who want curated local insight.
