Why go
Zhongzheng is where you’ll find Taipei’s big, symbolic landmarks—wide plazas, monumental architecture, and museum-style stops. It’s not the most intimate neighborhood, but it’s an efficient and satisfying part of a first trip.
If you like to start a trip with a sense of history and orientation, schedule Zhongzheng early.
How to plan it
Zhongzheng works best as a half-day anchor. Do one major landmark well, then move on to a more ‘texture’ neighborhood (Zhongshan, Daan, Datong) for the rest of the day.

Tip: hours, prices, and seasonal schedules can change. When something matters (like a museum ticket or a special exhibition), check the official listing before you go.
