Destination & City Travel Guide
About Taipei
Taipei is easier to understand when its districts are explored one at a time. Longshan Temple and the older Wanhua streets show one side of the city; Taipei 101 and nearby shopping areas show another. The National Palace Museum needs a dedicated visit north of the centre. Travellers from India can arrive at Taipei Main Station by airport MRT and connect to the city metro. Make room for a night market after daytime sights, with cash for smaller food stalls.

Tips for travellers from India
Taipei Main Station is a useful first base for an arrival by airport MRT and an onward railway trip. Wanhua suits a stay focused on older streets and Longshan Temple, while Xinyi places the hotel closer to Taipei 101 and its surrounding shopping district. The airport station and urban metro platforms at Taipei Main are separate parts of a large interchange, so choose the hotel entrance as carefully as the station name.
Airport MRT Express and Commuter services use the same corridor but make different numbers of stops. The Express takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes from the airport terminals to Taipei Main. A hotel in Xinyi still requires an onward city transfer after that ride; the airport train does not finish beside Taipei 101.
Pair Longshan Temple with a Wanhua walk, then make Dihua Street the focus of another older neighbourhood outing. The National Palace Museum is north of the central districts and deserves its own travel leg. Raohe Night Market works as an evening destination after the eastern side of the city. These groupings leave room to actually explore the temple streets and market lanes without spending most of the visit crossing between opposite ends of Taipei.
Best time to visit Taipei
March to May or October to November, about 18–28°C, for milder walks.
