About Taiwan

Taiwan may be a relatively small island but this beautiful country has a lot to offer! There are pretty beaches, modern skyscrapers, colorful street art, delicious cuisine, and beautiful nature.

Getting around Taiwan is easy, as public transport is well-organized and affordable. Also, distances between cities and other highlights aren't that large so you can see a lot of Taiwan in a relatively short amount of time.

That being said, I strongly encourage you to give yourself plenty of time to explore ‘Ilha Formosa’ (the former name of Taiwan, it means ‘beautiful island‘ in Portuguese).

Here you can find all the information you need to plan a trip to Taiwan, happy travels!
