💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A bowl of beef noodle soup at a Taipei night market costs around £4.50. A skewer of stinky tofu or a bubble tea comes in under £2. A proper sit-down dinner for two, with drinks, rarely tops £20, less than a round in most London pubs.
☀️ The Weather
Taipei sits around 27°C by day in September, dropping to a mild 21°C by November. Expect warm, humid afternoons early in the trip and short, sharp showers that clear fast. By winter it cools to the high teens, still comfortable for walking the old streets and night markets.
🏨 Where to Stay
From Main Station hostels to five-star towers with skyline views.
Zuum Inn — 8.2/10 · From £45/night A 6-minute walk from Taipei Main Station, simple and well located for getting anywhere by MRT.
Amba Taipei Zhongshan — 8.6/10 · From £85/night A 10-minute walk from Zhongshan Station, close to Shinkong Mitsukoshi and the night market strip.

🎯 What to Do
Taipei moves fast by day and comes alive at night.
Taipei 101 observation deck — Ride the world's fastest elevator to the 89th floor for a 360-degree view over the city.
Shilin Night Market — Taiwan's largest and oldest night market, over 500 stalls of street food, snacks and shopping until midnight.
Jiufen Old Street — A mountain town of lantern-lit alleys and tea houses, an easy trip east of the city.
Beitou Hot Springs — Natural thermal baths in the hills, reachable by MRT in under 40 minutes from the centre.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Taiwan rewards anyone who leaves Taipei for a day or two.
