Taiwan · TICKETS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 13 tickets & entry passes justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Visit Taipei 101’s 89th-floor Observatory for wide city views, the 660-tonne tuned mass damper, telescopes, and access to higher viewing areas. Choose a standard ticket or fast-track option, and use the 5th-floor redemption machine or counter as instructed.
“The elevator! It’s a long queue! But over all we love it!”
Use a priority ticket for Taipei 101’s 89th-floor Observatory Deck. You’ll collect a physical ticket at the 5th-floor Fast Pass Counter, take an express elevator upward, see Taipei from 509 meters, visit the giant tuned mass damper, and use the express queue back down.
“The skip the line pass made our experience stress free. I also found out that there was a skip the line cue for exiting.”
Visit Taipei’s National Palace Museum at your own pace with a one-day e-ticket. See the Jadeite Cabbage, Mao Gong Ding, ancient scrolls, and thousands of Chinese artifacts. The North Branch option includes Zhishan Garden and a reserved-priority entrance queue. Optional audio guides are available in nine languages.
“Easy entry to the museum. Amazing artifacts and food is also great at the cafe.”
Spend about nine hours exploring Taipei’s northeast coast with an English-speaking guide and driver. Visit Shifen Old Street and Waterfall, write a wish on a sky lantern, wander Jiufen, and see Yehliu Geopark. Guides may include Jerry, Pauline, Amy, or Bratt. Meals and lanterns cost extra.
“What wonderful tour. Sara was a great ambassador for Taipei. She was full of fun ready to help and gave us lots of information. It was a joyfull tour and great sights. Only disappointed with not being dropped off at the pickup point (Taipei main station) as we were left at a night market to find our own way back.”
Visit Taipei 101’s 89th-floor Observatory in Xinyi District with an ordinary or express ticket. Redeem your ticket at the building, ride the 1,010-meter-per-minute elevator, and take in city views framed by green hills. Allow about two hours, and choose a clear day if you can.
“Great views of Taipei and good value ticket price. No problems at the ticket desk with regular lift service up and down. A must-do when visiting Seoul.”
Use one ticket to visit two Taipei museums in a single day. See the National Palace Museum’s Jadeite Cabbage, bronze vessels, and calligraphy, then explore Shung Ye Museum’s displays on Taiwan’s 14 recognized Indigenous tribes. Admission, permanent exhibits, and special exhibits are included, but guides, food, and transport are not.
“het is simpel. veel te zien over historie. de aboriginals is een heel klein museum. binnen 30 minuten kun je het museum door. leuk uitjes voor de omgeving.”
Spend a day at Yehliu Geopark in northern Taiwan, where waves and seawater have shaped Queen’s Head, Candle Rock, Ginger Rock, and more. Your ticket includes QR-code admission and a self-guided audio tour of 15 scenic points in English, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. Transport is not included.
Spend a day at Taipei Zoo, home to pandas, giraffes, koalas, lions, penguins, and more than 400 kinds of wildlife. Add the Maokong Gondola for a 30-minute ride toward tea-growing Maokong Mountain, with a glass-bottom cabin option and broad Taipei views.
Ride one of the world’s fastest elevators to Taipei 101’s 88th and 89th floors, then step onto the 91st-floor outdoor deck when weather allows. This timed ticket suits independent sightseers who want broad city views, the famous earthquake damper, and a quick visit without a guide.
“We were unable to use our tickets at the counter due to the missing QR code. After the counter staff tried to retrieve the QR code several times we have to purchase new tickets at the counter. I sent a mail to the company that issued them, but never got a reply. Also, the fee that Viator charges for this is more than the price as the counter.”
Use your QR code for one entry to Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, then explore giant cypress trees, Sisters Ponds, Shouzhen Temple, and Zhushan’s sunrise area. Optional bundles add electric bus rides, a Fenqihu lunchbox, or Sunrise Cakes and millet mochi.
Meet your shuttle at Taipei Main Station or Ximen at 08:30 or 08:45, then spend about seven hours at Leofoo Village Theme Park. Your package includes round-trip transport, general admission, fast-track entry, and insurance. Explore rides, a steam train, and Taiwan’s largest open-range safari park.
“This was perfect to spend a day trip. The park was not overly busy which also helped with impatient kids! The package including transportation was great as well, but beware that the return trip will take a lot longer due to rush hour traffic.”
Visit Chiang Kai-Shek Shilin Residence in Taipei for a look at the former presidential home, its Chinese-Western design, inner garden, and restored rooms. Your ticket covers both floors of the Main Building and an audio guide in Chinese, English, or Japanese.
Spend a full day exploring Heping Island Geopark near Keelung. See Elephant Rock, Mushroom Rock, and Candlestick Rock, study fossils and sea-erosion formations, walk the coastline, and use the outdoor pools when open. Your QR code is exchanged for a physical entry ticket at the counter.
Pick a coastline, a kitchen or a mountain.
