How to get around Taipei as a tourist?

Okay, so you’re heading to Taipei? Awesome! Honestly, getting around there as a tourist is surprisingly easy. Like, seriously, Taipei’s public transport system is a dream. I remember when I went, I practically lived on the MRT (that’s their subway). It’s just so clean, efficient, and, best of all, super cheap. You can grab an EasyCard and just swipe your way around the city – so convenient!

Buses are also a great option, although I’ll admit, they were a little more intimidating at first, trying to figure out the routes and all. But hey, a little adventure is part of the fun, right?

And Youbike? Oh my gosh, Youbike is such a fun way to explore! It’s like a public bike-sharing system, and it’s perfect for cruising around the quieter streets, especially on a sunny day. Picture this: sun on your face, wind in your hair, discovering hidden cafes and little shops… bliss!

Honestly, with the MRT, buses, and Youbike, who even needs a taxi? Plus, taking public transport is way more budget-friendly, which means more money for delicious bubble tea and night market snacks, right? Trust me, skip the taxis and embrace the public transport – you won’t regret it!
