Attractions & Tickets in Taipei

Taipei’s attractions aren’t just about ticking landmarks off a list. Spend a morning wandering through the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and catch the changing of the guard , it’s more theatrical than you’d expect. And don’t miss getting tickets in advance for Taipei 101’s observatory. Weekends get packed fast, especially at sunset. Locals often head to the Huashan 1914 Creative Park for art exhibits, quirky shops, and little cafes tucked inside old factories.

If you’re into markets, instead of just Shilin, try the Raohe Street Night Market where you can grab a pepper bun right out of the stone oven. Tickets for guided tours around the city or day trips to places like Jiufen and Yehliu are easy to find online and can save time waiting at the gate. Pro tip: buy your tickets early when visiting during holidays like Lunar New Year,lines get crazy long. Also, some attractions don’t require tickets at all, like Elephant Mountain for a sunset hike with the 101 skyline as your backdrop.
