Why choose City Travel?

City travel puts the world's best culture, food, and design at your feet. You step off a train and into rooftop bars, temple alleys, night markets, and world-class museums — no car rental, no ferry timetable. Cities reward slow walkers and fast movers equally.

Asia's cities are some of the most exciting on the planet. Taipei offers a combination of cutting-edge technology and deep tradition that few cities can match — excellent MRT, legendary street food, and hot-spring suburbs just 20 minutes from downtown. Wherebest has reviewed hotels across Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Taichung in depth.

FAQ

Frequently Asked — City Travel

Why choose a city-centre hotel over one in the suburbs?
City-centre hotels put you within walking distance of night markets, MRT stations, restaurants, and attractions — saving time and transport costs. In Taipei, staying near Ximending or Main Station means you can walk to most sights. The slight premium is usually worth it for shorter trips.
How many days do you need in Taipei?
3–4 days covers the main highlights: Taipei 101, National Palace Museum, Ximending, a day trip to Jiufen or Yehliu, and a night market or two. 5–7 days lets you add Beitou hot springs, Maokong gondola, and a second day trip to Pingxi or Tamsui.
Which Taiwanese city is best besides Taipei?
Kaohsiung is the top pick — Taiwan's second-largest city, with excellent metro, Lotus Pond, Fo Guang Shan, and a thriving dining scene. Taichung is great for design, night markets, and a day trip to Sun Moon Lake. Both are worth a 2-night stop on a south-bound itinerary.
Which neighbourhood in Taipei is best to stay in?
Ximending suits first-timers and budget travellers (walkable, buzzy, cheap eats). Xinyi is best for business travellers and shoppers (near Taipei 101 and luxury malls). Zhongshan is ideal for a quieter, café-rich experience. Main Station works for day-trippers using THSR or buses.
Is Taipei's MRT easy to navigate?
Yes — one of the most user-friendly metros in Asia. Signs are in English and Mandarin, trains are frequent and punctual, and an EasyCard (NT$100 deposit) covers the MRT, buses, and even 7-Eleven purchases. Download the Taipei Metro app for route planning.
