Planning your visit
October and November are Taipei's most reliable months, with the rains gone and typhoon risk near its lowest; March into early April is a good second window, before the plum-rain drizzle of May and June and the muggy, typhoon-heavy stretch from July through September. The city is dense and MRT-connected enough that most sightseeing naturally clusters into neighborhood loops on foot — Longshan Temple and the old Wanhua streets around it, or Taipei 101 with Elephant Mountain and a nearby night market — while hot-spring Beitou and the lantern-lit hillside town of Jiufen sit further out and work better as their own half-day or full-day trip than something added onto a city-center itinerary. The Taipei Fun Pass, which bundles unlimited MRT/bus/rail with discounted or free entry to dozens of sights, functions well as a transit pass that happens to include attractions, and it pays off mainly if you're both moving around a lot and hitting several paid sights in the same days.
