2024 Taipei Fun Pass Guide: Price, Where to Buy & Sample Itinerary
On our 4-day Taiwan trip, we used the EasyCard for public transportation. Had we discovered the Taipei Fun Pass at the time, we would have taken advantage of it, especially since we visited many Taiwan tourist spots included in the pass.
With the Taipei Fun Pass, tourists can enjoy unlimited rides on Taipei’s public transportation including MRT, buses, and shuttles within the chosen validity period. Plus, you can use the pass to enter popular attractions including Taipei 101, National Palace Museum, Yehliu Geopark, and a lot more!

Is the Taipei FunPass worth it?
It actually depends on which attractions you want to visit, and whether or not you are able to maximize the free admission fees on your allotted days. To give you some perspective, let’s compare the costs.
With our Taipei Fun Pass sample itinerary above, the estimated total cost for 3 days is NT$2,197 (US$67.81 / ₱4,000) if you pay the admission fees separately. This still does not include the transportation costs going to and from the attractions.
If you buy the Unlimited Pass (3-Day), it’ll only cost NT$2,000 (US$62 / ₱3,600). Plus, you get to enjoy unlimited rides on Taipei’s public transportation. You can definitely save more if you have the pass.
So, take advantage of the Taipei Fun Pass and arrange your itinerary accordingly. We suggest that you include the pricier attractions like Taipei 101 Observatory and Maokong Gondola to maximize it.

1. What’s the difference between the Taipei Fun Pass and EasyCard?

No, the pass does not cover the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR). You need to buy separate THSR tickets if you want to ride the bullet train.
3. How can I top up the pass?
No top-up is needed for the Unlimited and Transportation versions of the pass since this already enables you unlimited rides on public transportation.
