Why you'll love it
Taipei is Taiwan's capital, a friendly, easy city of night markets, temples and green mountains right on its edge. It gets Triptakeo's top score for food and safety, and scores 8 out of 10 for culture, nightlife, families and remote work.
The best time to visit Taipei is October to December, with warm, drier days. Spring is pleasant too. June to September is hot and humid, with typhoons possible, and January and February are cool and often grey.
Eat your way through Shilin, Raohe and Ningxia night markets, and try beef noodle soup and bubble tea where they began. Ride up Taipei 101, hike Elephant Mountain for the skyline at sunset, and visit Longshan Temple. The hot springs at Beitou and the old mining town of Jiufen are easy day trips.
Taipei suits food lovers, families and anyone wanting an easy, safe city break in Asia.
