Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Taiwan: What You Need to Know
Taiwan is an island democracy of 23 million people in the western Pacific, about 180km off the coast of mainland China. It has one of Asia's most vibrant cultures, dynamic economies (a world semiconductor leader), and advanced democracies. Taipei, the capital, is a remarkable fusion of Chinese traditions, Japanese colonial architecture, and ultra-modern urban life. Night markets (Shilin, Raohe) are a food-lover's paradise. Taiwan's east coast offers some of Asia's most dramatic scenery: Taroko Gorge, a marble canyon of extraordinary scale, is 2.5 hours from Taipei.
How to Get There
Taipei Taoyuan Airport (TPE) is well-connected. Flights from Luxembourg connect through Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or Hong Kong. Eva Air, China Airlines, Lufthansa, and KLM offer options. Total journey 12-14 hours. The Taiwan High Speed Rail (350 km/h) connects Taipei to Kaohsiung in 90 minutes.
Money & Banking
Taiwan uses the new Taiwan dollar (TWD). Taiwan is excellent value: night market snacks TWD 50-150 (EUR 1.50-4.50), sit-down restaurant meals TWD 200-500, hotel rooms TWD 2,000-5,000/night. EasyCard (transit IC card) works on all Taipei MRT, buses, and convenience stores.
Practical Tips
Taipei: the National Palace Museum (world's greatest collection of Chinese imperial art, over 700,000 objects), Taipei 101 (observation deck), Jiufen (the mountain mining town that inspired Spirited Away), Elephant Mountain sunset hike, and the night markets. Taroko Gorge (fly or train to Hualien, 2.5 hours): marble canyons, suspension bridges, and the Shakadang Trail. Tainan (1.5 hours by high-speed rail): Taiwan's oldest city with Anping Fort, Chihkan Tower, and the best traditional food on the island.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Luxembourg citizens need a visa for Taiwan?
No. Luxembourg passport holders can visit Taiwan visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business.
Is Taiwan safe to visit given its geopolitical situation with China?
Taiwan is extremely safe for tourists. The People's Republic of China claims Taiwan politically, but cross-strait relations have maintained a cautious status quo. Daily life in Taiwan is entirely normal and the country is one of Asia's safest travel destinations. No travel advisor currently recommends against visiting Taiwan for safety reasons.
What is the best night market in Taipei?
Shilin Night Market (the largest) offers a vast range of snacks and goods. Raohe Street Night Market is smaller, more atmospheric, and easier to navigate. Ningxia Road Night Market is the most food-focused. Night markets are open from evening to midnight or later.
How do I get from Taipei to Taroko Gorge?
Take the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) train from Taipei to Hualien (2-2.5 hours on the Puyuma or Taroko Express). From Hualien station, take a local bus (Hualien Bus Company routes 302/303) or join a tour to the gorge entrance. Entry to the park is free.
What currency does Taiwan use?
New Taiwan Dollar (TWD or NT$). ATMs are widely available. Cards are accepted at hotels, chain restaurants, and larger shops. Cash is preferred in markets and small restaurants.
What is unique about Taiwanese culture?
Taiwan has a unique blend of indigenous Austronesian cultures (16 officially recognized tribes), Chinese Ming and Qing dynasty traditions brought by immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong, 50 years of Japanese colonial influence (1895-1945, visible in architecture and food culture), and post-1949 Nationalist Chinese heritage. This creates a rich, multilayered cultural landscape unlike anywhere else.
