Picture yourself atop an open double-decker bus, Taipei’s vibrant pulse unfolding below as you roll through its storied streets. The Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Tour is your ticket to this adventure, blending the city’s rich heritage with its modern buzz. Choose between two routes—the Red Line tracing Taipei 101 and Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, or the Blue Line winding past Huashan 1914 Creative Park and Shilin Night Market’s sizzling stalls. Hop off to chase art or savor street food, then climb back on when the next bus swings by. It’s Taipei at your fingertips, alive with possibility.

We did the blue and red line in one day. It was a great way to see Taipei in a short amount of time. The bus runs on time, it was easy to get off and back on from our chosen sights (Palace Museum, Grand Hotel (had lunch there), Chiang Kai-shek Memorial and 101. On the way back we followed the route on our maps app and got off at the stop nearest our hotel so didn’t need to go all the way back to the station.

We took the red line and it was a good introduction to Taipei. We didn’t hop off and did a full round back to Taipei Station. The commentary in English was ok but wish it could be timely.
