Taiwan is Calling: Your Travel Guide & How to Get Taiwanese Dollars (TWD) with the Best Stock at Eurochange

Taiwan, the beautiful island once known as Formosa, is a destination that vibrates with a unique energy, a place where futuristic skyscrapers coexist in perfect harmony with ancient temples and breathtaking natural landscapes. This island nation offers a fascinating mix of traditional Chinese culture, Japanese influences, and its own vibrant, welcoming identity. From the bustling metropolis of Taipei to the serene tea plantations in the mountains, Taiwan is a treasure trove for any type of traveler. Its world-renowned street food will seduce you in its famous night markets, while its national parks will invite you to adventure. To fully enjoy this Asian gem, good planning is key, and a fundamental aspect is managing your money. Although credit cards are accepted in large hotels and shopping centers, the heart of Taiwan beats to the rhythm of cash. Therefore, traveling with enough New Taiwan Dollars (TWD) in your wallet is essential for an authentic and seamless experience. At Eurochange, we understand this need, and thanks to our large available stock, we make it easier than ever for you to just focus on enjoying your trip.

Places You Can't Miss in Taiwan

Taiwan is filled with wonders. Here is a selection to get you started on your dream trip:

  • Taipei: The capital is a must-visit. Ascend the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper for panoramic views, visit the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and get lost in the historic Longshan Temple. As night falls, immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of night markets like Shilin or Raohe, where the food is the real star.

  • Taroko National Park: A masterpiece of nature. Hike its trails to admire marble gorges, turquoise rivers, and suspension bridges. The scale and beauty of Taroko will leave you speechless.

  • Jiufen and Shifen: These two towns near Taipei look like something out of a movie. Jiufen, with its narrow alleyways, tea houses, and red lanterns, will transport you to another time. In Shifen, you can live the magical experience of releasing a sky lantern while making a wish.

  • Sun Moon Lake: The largest body of water in Taiwan is a haven of peace. Rent a bike to circle it, take a boat to visit the temple on Lalu Island, or simply relax and enjoy its idyllic scenery.

  • Tainan: If you’re looking for history and culture, Tainan is your city. As the country’s oldest urban center, it is packed with historic temples, ancient forts, and an exquisite local cuisine.

How Much Cash Do I Need? The Key to a Stress-Free Trip

4Taiwan is a very safe and modern country, but it remains a society where cash ($NT, TWD) is king, especially outside of large hotel chains and luxury restaurants. To pay at night markets, in small family-owned shops, at street food stalls, or to top up your public transport card (EasyCard), you will need banknotes and coins.

  • Daily Budget: An average budget for a traveler can range from 1,500 to 2,500 TWD per day (approximately €45-€75 or $50-$80 USD). This would cover budget/mid-range accommodation, three meals (many of them at markets), local transport, and some entrance fees.

  • Cash Recommendation: To avoid issues and the hassle of searching for ATMs (which don’t always accept foreign cards or may charge high fees), we recommend carrying the equivalent of about €400-€600 in Taiwanese Dollars for a one-week stay. This will give you the flexibility to pay anywhere and have a buffer for unexpected expenses or spontaneous purchases.
