National Palace Museum: are tickets still available today?
Looking for last-minute tickets? Tickets may still be available on the day or for tomorrow, depending on current Tiqets time slots and availability. Choose a date and run a live check to see which tickets can still be booked.
Which National Palace Museum ticket should you choose?
Your choice depends on whether the museum is the main purpose of your day or one stop within a wider Taipei itinerary. The available formats differ most in the places covered and the level of independence they offer.
For an independent museum visit
Choose admission with an audio guide if you want to explore the National Palace Museum’s Northern Branch at your own pace. This format is best suited to travellers who want commentary on the collections without joining a fixed sightseeing route.
For two museum visits
A combined ticket with the Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines is a good fit if you want to add another cultural venue to your day. It keeps the focus on museums rather than transport or a wider city itinerary.
For a museum and outdoor attraction
The Yehliu Geopark combination pairs Northern Branch admission with a separate outdoor destination and a same-day visit to Zhishan Garden. Consider it when you want one booking to cover both museum collections and a different type of visit.
For a structured Taipei sightseeing plan
The morning city tour includes National Palace Museum entry alongside Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, the Martyrs’ Shrine and Hsing Tian Kong. Round-trip transportation is part of this format, making it the most suitable choice if you prefer several Taipei sights arranged within one itinerary.

Check which National Palace Museum branch your ticket covers
The dedicated audio-guide ticket and both combination tickets give access to the Northern Branch. They do not include admission to the Southern Branch. If branch access matters to your plans, check the ticket you select carefully rather than assuming that a National Palace Museum booking covers both locations.
Decide how much of your day you want to pre-plan
The main practical distinction is between a self-paced museum booking and an itinerary with several stops. An audio-guide admission ticket leaves your museum visit independent, while the city tour follows a set route that combines the museum with other Taipei landmarks.
The combined entry tickets sit between these two approaches. They cover additional venues, but they do not turn the visit into a city tour with transport between stops. They are therefore better suited to travellers who are comfortable arranging their own wider schedule.
Match the extra venue to your interests
The Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines option is the more focused cultural pairing, adding a second museum visit. The Yehliu Geopark option has a broader character, combining the museum with an outdoor attraction and a same-day visit to Zhishan Garden.
Before booking, compare the named places covered by each ticket and choose the format that matches the rest of your Taipei plans. If your priority is simply time with the National Palace Museum collections, the dedicated Northern Branch admission is the clearest option. If you want several major sights handled within one programme, the city tour is the more structured choice.
National Palace Museum ticket prices: what should you compare?
Audio Guide Admission, Two-Museum Entry and Morning City Tour do not include the same access, guidance or extras. Compare the current price shown for your date only after checking what each option covers.
A lower-priced ticket is not automatically better value if it excludes an area, guided visit or added experience that matters to you.
To plan more of your time in Taipei, you can also compare Taipei 101 tickets before finalising your schedule.
National Palace Museum tickets on the day: same-day and last-minute availability
If you want to visit on the day, check the time slots still available before you book. For tomorrow, select tomorrow’s date and compare the remaining times. Same-day and last-minute availability can change quickly, so rely on the live options shown for your chosen date.
