Find Cheap Flights to Taiwan: Compare Prices for Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Other Major Cities

Spring is one of the best times to travel to Taiwan. It's ideal for finding the lowest airfares to Taipei, and you might find special deals for Kaohsiung flights. The pleasant weather is perfect for outdoor activities.

In summer, you can find special flight deals for June, but it is very hot, humid, and susceptible to typhoons. Indoor activities or beach resorts are recommended.

Autumn is the peak season for travel to Taiwan. The weather is dry and cool, attracting many travelers looking for early bird Taipei flight deals. Take advantage of Taiwan air ticket promotions.

Winter is a relatively cheap time to book Taiwan flights. The north is chilly, but the south is mild. Hot spring trips or culinary tours are recommended.

Travelers holding a Republic of Korea passport do not need a visa to enter Taiwan for tourism purposes. You can stay without a visa for up to 90 days. It is essential to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay. Immigration procedures are relatively simple, but it is advisable to have a round-trip ticket or a ticket to your next destination ready, as they may be requested.

Taiwan has a well-developed transportation system. Major cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung have convenient MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) systems. For intercity travel, the High-Speed Rail (HSR) is the fastest and most efficient option. The HSR connects major cities along the west coast, and booking in advance can save you time, much like saving money by finding the cheapest round-trip ticket to Taipei. Regular trains (TRA) are cheaper and offer scenic views but take longer. For short distances or remote areas, use buses or taxis.

Taiwan offers a variety of accommodation options. In large cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung, you can easily find everything from modern hotels to affordable hostels. If you secured the lowest airfare to Taipei, try to save on your accommodation budget too. Staying near major tourist attractions or an MRT station makes getting around very convenient. Accommodation near night markets is especially good for enjoying local food late into the evening. In Taichung or other smaller towns, you can experience unique guesthouses or boutique hotels.

Taiwan is one of the safest travel destinations in Asia. However, basic caution against pickpocketing and theft is necessary. It is best to keep your bag in front of you, especially in night markets or crowded tourist areas. When using taxis, ensure the meter is used, and use official taxis to avoid overcharging. During typhoon season (summer to autumn), check weather forecasts frequently, and it is important to know basic safety procedures for earthquakes.

Taiwanese people are friendly and polite. When visiting temples or religious sites, dress modestly and follow rules where photography inside is prohibited. Littering or spitting in public places is forbidden and may result in fines. Tipping is not customary in restaurants, as service charges are often included. Speak quietly in public spaces, and it is common courtesy to offer your seat to the elderly or infirm, especially on public transport.

Taiwan is a culinary paradise. If you arrived with a last-minute deal on a Taipei flight, use your remaining budget to enjoy the diverse street food. Signature dishes include Din Tai Fung's Xiaolongbao, stinky tofu (an acquired taste) at night markets, beef noodle soup, and pineapple cakes (Fengli Su). As the birthplace of milk tea, trying various kinds of bubble tea is a must. It is common to share tables in local eateries, and it is polite to finish your food. Do not miss out on fresh seafood and tropical fruits.

Taiwan has a subtropical climate, which is very humid and hot, especially in summer. Pack light and breathable clothing. A portable umbrella or raincoat is essential for sudden downpours. If you plan to visit temples, it is wise to pack clothes that cover your shoulders and knees. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are also useful. Taiwan uses different electrical outlets than Korea, so you must bring an adapter. If you booked your Taipei flight early, check your luggage carefully before the trip.

Look for small alley markets or eateries frequented by locals, away from the main tourist spots. Taiwanese people value breakfast, so start your day at a local breakfast shop (e.g., soy milk and fried dough sticks). Taiwan is great for cycling, so consider exploring riverside paths or country roads by bike. If you book your Taiwan flight on TICKETS.CO.KR and time your visit with a local festival, you can have a richer experience. For example, the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival will create unforgettable memories.
