Tickets and attractions
Things to do and attractions in Taipei
Choose from visits to Taipei 101 and the National Palace Museum, or explore destinations outside the city with a guided day trip. The available formats range from straightforward admission tickets and audio-guided museum visits to combined entries and tours with transportation.
Taipei 101
Taipei 101 is available with admission to its observatory on the 89th floor. This is a focused attraction visit for travelers who want to view Taipei from the observatory.
National Palace Museum
The National Palace Museum offers several ways to plan a visit. You can explore independently with an audio guide, choose entry combined with the Shung Ye Formosan Aborigines Museum, or combine the museum with Yehliu Geopark. A morning city tour also includes museum entry, transportation and visits to Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, the Martyrs' Shrine and Hsing Tian Kong.
These options let you choose between a focused museum visit, a combined attraction ticket and a broader guided sightseeing experience.
Day trips from Taipei
Guided day trips from Taipei cover different landscapes and activities across Taiwan. Compare the destination and the type of experience included when choosing between coastal sights, tea regions, mountain areas and hot-spring country.
- Yehliu, Jiufen and Pingxi or Shifen: day tours combine the northeast coast with locations known for distinctive rock formations, historic streets and lantern-related activities. Some options include Yehliu Geopark admission or a sky lantern experience, while others focus on guided sightseeing with transportation.
- Beitou and Yangmingshan National Park: this guided tour focuses on volcanic landscapes and hot-spring culture, with a hot spring foot bath included.
- Pinglin Tea Culture and Maokong: this guided excursion combines tea regions, the Pinglin Tea Museum and a Maokong Gondola ride.
How to choose your visit
For a single attraction, compare Taipei 101 observatory admission with the National Palace Museum's audio-guided visit. If you want to see more than one place, consider a combined museum ticket or the morning city tour with museum entry. For a full-day experience beyond Taipei, choose according to whether you prefer coastal and cultural destinations, hot-spring landscapes or tea-related visits with a gondola ride.
