One of the best things about Taipei is how easy it is to get to other fantastic places on the isle de Formosa. Here we talk about day trips around Taipei, or extended trips around Taiwan. These are destinations we recommend if you live here, or are just here for a visit! Day trips from Taipei are easy and rewarding. Extended trips are worth the cost! We will try to bring you the best of both.
The first stop for day trips around Taipei is the MRT or mass transit system. The light rail is easy to take, affordable, and fast. You can get from one section of the city to another quickly. For more on the MRT, check out our page about fun things at different stops here.
If you want to get further outside of the city, Taiwan has excellent bus services.
