Build around anchors (then leave room to wander)

The best Taipei days have 2–3 anchors: one “must,” one food mission, and one restorative break. Everything else is optional.

  • Anchor 1: one major attraction or museum (keep it early).
  • Anchor 2: a neighborhood walk with small shops + cafés.
  • Anchor 3: a focused night-market or dinner plan.

If you want to tighten logistics, choose your base on neighborhoods first, then pick an itinerary that stays nearby.
