Hotels near Taipei Songshan Airport - TSA, Taipei

Taipei - A city that quietly touches your heart I visited Taipei for a short 3-day trip, and even though it was a quick visit, this city left a deep mark on me. The people here are incredibly kind and polite, even small gestures like greetings, smiles, or the way they help you find your way just warm your heart. The city itself feels peaceful and organized. Whether it’s walking through quiet alleys, exploring temples like Longshan, or watching the rain while sipping bubble tea, there’s a calmness that stays with you. I didn’t come with anyone, but somehow never felt alone here. Transportation is super convenient with the MRT, everything feels clean and safe, and I deeply appreciated the culture and how respectful and genuine everyone is. Leaving Taipei made me surprisingly emotional, it’s one of those places that feels gentle, kind, and unforgettable in its own quiet way.

Taipei is a great city to visit. We had the misfortune of rain every day, but that did not deter us (or the thousands of visitors and locals) from exploring the city. Taipei, and Taiwan in general, is more costly than we expected, but not overly so. Food is plentiful, trains are reliable, efficient, and convenient, buses are reliable in Taipei but frustratingly unreliable further south, and all buses are old and shake and rattle noisily. We ate most of our meals at night markets and local traditional small restaurants. These are 30% to 50% the cost of meals in more western style restsurants, and are at least as tasty. They also afford visitors the opportunity to immerse into local culture. The locals are kind, humble, and welcoming to everyone. They willingly help visitors which makes travel there really pleasant. Taipei has some peaceful relaxing parks and a wide array of sights and attractions. Just please avoid AirNZ like a plague! Use any other airline, there are dozens to choose from. I recommend Eva Air.

Loved the big street trees providing greenery and shade. The parks were great and really enjoyed seeing the Tai Chi people. The side streets were really interesting to explore. Taipei 101 was fascinating to go up in the elevator and see the big ball that controls the swaying in winds and earthquakes. Trains and buses were easy to use.

A lovely city full of chinese history and without being too expensive or scary. Excellent markets, museums, cultural parks, art galleries and shopping. Public transport is fantastic, including to/from the airport - we never needed a taxi from arrival to departure.

I really enjoyed my trip to Taipei! The transportation system is very easy to navigate and takes you to many beautiful places around Taiwan, which makes it very convenient for travelers. We visited during the last week of October for Pride Month, and the weather was nice, perfect for exploring the city. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Taibei is a vibrant Asian city, full of Chinese culture, amazing food, and a growing selection of artisanal bars. The many NIGHT MARKETS are such a special feature of the city, and are not to be missed. Easy public transportation and access to taxis everywhere. Choose carefully the time of year you go to Taibei: the summer is brutally hot, but end-October / early-November has PERFECT weather...not cold, not hot, and not overly raining. Whatever you do, DO NOT MISS going to the Palace Museum which contains the very best artifacts from the imperial "Forbidden City" in Beijing which were brought to Taiwan in 1949!
