Designing a comfortable Taipei itinerary
The biggest accessibility upgrade is itinerary design: fewer transfers, shorter hops, and predictable rest points. Taipei’s café culture makes it easy to build in breaks without losing momentum.
Choose neighborhoods that naturally support this style (like Zhongshan or Daan) and keep days in clusters.
Transit strategy
Use the MRT as your default, and don’t hesitate to use taxis for short hops when it reduces stress—especially in heavy rain or late at night.
