24 hours in Taipei: A tried-and-trusted travel itinerary
You’d be forgiven for expecting chaos, traffic and pollution from the Taiwanese capital. The reality, however, is far from that. Winding shopping streets, a thriving art scene and incredible food offerings are hallmarks of Taipei, which is surrounded by greenery and national parks.
No trip to this city is complete without sampling xiao long bao – the soupy dumplings that can be eaten morning, noon and night, if you’re so inclined – and stopping to admire the striking Chinese architecture. There is a wide-reaching mass rapid transit (MRT) underground train system, but if you have the time, the heart of the city is easily explored on foot, with the odd Uber for ease.
Before you make your way south to explore the rest of Taiwan, tick off a few must-sees in the warm capital city.
