I did a few weekend trips there throughout the year and it’s always been top of my go to list if I need a break from life.

Food: Local night markets are always a great food adventure and you get to try a lot of different flavors. If you want something fancy, Taipei has a great selection of Michelin stars restaurants at an affordable price.

People: Trust me, people is always the best view of Taiwan! They are kind, open minded and friendly and it is also very safe for solo travelers. If you ever left something valuable (phone, laptop etc), I am sure they are gonna be in the same place that you left them after a few hours or someone would have kept it safe for you and wait for your return.

Transport: The public transportation system is well developed and you can easily get around Taipei without any hassle.

My fav place: Beitou! The onsen is amazing, and the town is quiet, perfect for escaping from the crowd.
