Pro tips to help you make a pick

Check live webcams or weather forecasts before your visit to ensure clear views; clouds and rain can limit visibility dramatically.

If you’re sensitive to altitude changes, chew gum or swallow during the elevator ride to help with ear popping.

Use the Taipei Metro for the most convenient and predictable access, especially during city rush hours.

Outdoor deck access (Skyline 460) is weather-dependent and may close suddenly; review cancellation or rescheduling policies if booking this option.

The observatory is wheelchair accessible indoors, but outdoor deck access may have restrictions; check in advance if you have mobility needs.

About Taipei 101 Observatory

Taipei 101 Observatory is a highlight of any Taipei city collection, offering visitors a chance to see the city’s landmarks, mountains, and vibrant neighborhoods from above. As a flagship observation deck, it’s the perfect addition to your itinerary for those seeking iconic views and a deeper appreciation of Taipei’s modern spirit.

Taipei 101 was once the world’s tallest building at 508 meters and remains one of the most earthquake-resistant skyscrapers globally.

The tower’s design mimics a bamboo stalk with eight sections, symbolizing growth and prosperity in Chinese culture.

The high-speed elevators reach speeds of up to 60 km/h, taking visitors from the 5th to the 89th floor in about 37 seconds.

The observatory’s tuned mass damper weighs approximately 660 metric tons and can move up to 1.5 meters to stabilize the building.

On clear days, visitors can spot landmarks like Elephant Mountain, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and even distant mountain ranges from the decks.

Why visit Taipei 101 Observatory?

Sweeping views of Taipei

Take in 360° views of Taipei, its skyline, and the surrounding mountains from both indoor and outdoor decks, Taipei’s ultimate viewpoint.

Ticket purchase was straightforward and entry was well handled. I was allowed to enter earlier than my booked time. The views were awesome even in poor weather but the best part for me as an engineer was the tuned mass damper.

The building itself is stunning, but the real magic is inside—everyone mentioned the cabbage but the paintings completely drew me in. I don’t know why, but the pig sculpture was so simple yet oddly charming. Not overwhelming, just quietly impressive. Definitely worth the visit.

We visited Taipei 101 Observatory and booked the 89th floor fast-track tickets through Headout. The fast-pass ended up being worth it. The lines were long going up the elevator, but especially coming back down, so skipping them saved us a lot of time. At the top, there are quite a few photo spots, including some more set-up areas if you want pictures. We loved the views overlooking Taipei and the damper and short videos explaining how it all works were super interesting. If you’re planning to visit, the fast-pass is worth considering if you want to avoid spending a lot of time in line. We're super happy we went!
