1️⃣ Where to stay? Short-term rentals and co-living spaces beat hotels

📍Short-Term Rentals and Co-living Spaces

If you’re staying in Taiwan for a while, skip the expensive hotels and look into monthly rental options. Taipei has plenty of short-term studio apartments and co-living spaces like Home Sweet Home Share House, and Banana Co-living. These often come with shared kitchens, common areas, and even social events—great for meeting fellow travelers from around the world.

📍Recommended neighborhoods with good living convenience and a friendly international vibe:

  • Dadaocheng:A historic area with vintage vibes and lots of artsy little shops—perfect for slow living.

    2️⃣ What’s Taipei weather like? Know before you go

    Taipei has a subtropical climate—warm, humid, and often rainy. Here’s a month-by-month look at what to expect so you can pack smarter :

    • January–February: Cool and damp, with temps around 13–18°C. Pack a warm jacket, especially for evening strolls.
    • March–May: A great time to visit Taipei! Mild, breezy spring weather with average highs around 24–28°C. Occasional rain showers are common, so bring an umbrella or light raincoat.
    • June–August: Taipei’s summer season—hot, humid, and the start of typhoon season. Temperatures can soar up to 35°C. Stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and keep an eye on weather alerts.
    • September–October: Still warm but more pleasant. Perfect for day trips and outdoor events.
    • November–December: Turning cooler and rainier again. Day temps around 18–22°C, so bring layers.

    🌞 Best time to visit Taipei: May–June and September–October strike a great balance between nice weather and manageable tourist crowds.

    3️⃣ Remote work-friendly: 3 best areas in Taipei for digital nomads

    If you’re working while traveling, here are the top three spots in Taipei that digital nomads love:

    🌿 Minsheng Community

    Peaceful and green, with hidden gem cafes and cozy coworking spaces tucked in quiet lanes. A favorite of local freelancers.

    💼 East District (Zhongxiao Fuxing to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall)

    Bustling yet balanced, with malls, supermarkets, and tons of cafes. You’ll also find many coworking spaces like FutureWard and CLBC here.

    🧘‍♂️ Yongkang St. & Shida area

    Full of local vibes and very international. Start your day working at a café, take a break at Daan Forest Park, and end your night at a language exchange event.
