Taipei

Night markets, hot springs and the friendliest city in Asia.

Travellers come here for food, nightlife, culture and nature.

When to go

Aim for October, November and April. Think twice about June, July and August — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

Airports serving Taipei: TPE and TSA. Taipei is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
