Ultimate Taiwan Travel Guide 🇹🇼 | Everything You Need to Know + 1 & 2 Week Itineraries

After six weeks travelling around Taiwan, we've put together the ULTIMATE Taiwan Travel Guide to help you plan your own trip! 🇹🇼 In this video, we're sharing everything we learned along the way - from the best places to visit and when to go, to how to get around, where to stay, what to eat, how much things cost and everything we wish we'd known before travelling. We've also put together both a 1-week and 2-week Taiwan itinerary, based on our own experience travelling around the island, with our recommendations for where to go, how long to stay and the best things to see and do. If you're planning a trip to Taiwan, this guide will give you everything you need to start planning - and if you simply love discovering incredible destinations, we hope it inspires you to add Taiwan to your list. ❤️ If you enjoyed this Taiwan travel guide, don't forget to like the video and subscribe for more travel guides, food adventures and hidden gems from around the world! 🌍 Download your eSIM with Airalo 📱✈️ Use code MEGSANDALEX to get $3 off your first eSIM! 👉 https://try.airalo.com/MegsAndAlex 🇹🇼 In this Taiwan travel guide: 00:00 Intro 00:49 Taiwan Visa Requirements 01:01 Is Taiwan Safe? | Taiwan Safety Tips 01:33 How to Get to Taiwan 02:01 How to Get from Taoyuan Airport to Taipei Main Station 02:16 How to Get Around Taiwan 02:41 How to Get a Taxi in Taiwan | Uber in Taiwan 03:02 EasyCard Taiwan 03:36 How to Travel Around Taiwan | Trains & High Speed Rail 04:22 SIM Cards & eSIMs in Taiwan 05:35 Money in Taiwan | Currency, ATMs & Card Payments 07:00 Taiwan Receipt Lottery 08:47 When We Visited Taiwan | Weather 09:49 Best Time to Visit Taiwan | Weather 10:07 Where to Go in Taiwan | Best Places to Visit 13:45 What to Eat in Taiwan | Taiwanese Food Guide 14:27 Best Street Food in Taiwan 18:19 How to Avoid the Queue at Din Tai Fung 20:48 Things We Didn't Do in Taiwan 22:01 Our Taiwan Itinerary 22:16 2-Week Taiwan Itinerary 27:03 1-Week Taiwan Itinerary 27:24 Final Thoughts 🗺️ 2 week Taiwan Itinerary: This is the 2-week Taiwan itinerary we'd recommend if you want to experience a great mix of cities, culture, food and scenery without constantly rushing around. 📍 Taipei - 6 nights:Explore Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Longshan Temple, discover the city's incredible night markets and hike Elephant Mountain at sunset. 📍 Jiufen & Shifen - 1 night:Wander the lantern-lined streets of Jiufen, visit its famous teahouses and head to Shifen for the waterfall and iconic sky lantern experience. 📍 Taichung - 3 nights:Explore the home of bubble tea, discover Animation Alley and Taichung's café culture, and visit MINIMAL, the world's first Michelin-starred ice cream shop.
