The Taipei Fun Pass is a tourist pass issued by the Taipei City Government and Taipei Rapid Transit Corp. (TRTC). It combines unlimited Taipei Metro (MRT) and city bus rides with free entry to Taipei's major attractions — all on a single card. The pass is loaded onto a Yo-Yo Card (an EasyCard variant): tap at MRT gates or scan at attraction entrances.
You can buy it through Klook (pick up at Taoyuan Airport or delivered to your hotel) · KKday · or at MRT Tourist Service Counters at major stations including Taipei Main Station, Taipei City Hall, and Zhongxiao Fuxing — at full price, no discount.
Prices below are approximate (NT$ / New Taiwan Dollar). Actual prices may vary by platform and season — always verify before buying. 1 NT$ ≈ 0.031 USD / 0.029 EUR at the time of writing.
Best for a single intensive day in Taipei. Worth it only if you plan to visit at least 3 paid attractions — e.g. Taipei 101 + National Palace Museum + Maokong Gondola. Not worth it if sightseeing is light.
Suits a weekend stay where you spread attractions over two days without rushing. MRT savings become more meaningful. Visit around 4–5 attractions to break even.
The sweet spot for most first-time visitors — enough time to comfortably cover 6–8 attractions plus heavy MRT use. Compared to paying separately you typically save NT$600–800+.
For 5+ day stays where you continue to use public transport daily and want to cover more distant attractions such as the Northern Coast. Very good value if you ride the MRT every day.
Counter prices below are approximate (NT$). Verify with the official source before travel — the attraction list and prices can change seasonally.

Rule of thumb: The Fun Pass pays off if you visit Taipei 101 plus at least 2–3 other paid attractions and take the MRT frequently. If your itinerary is light on ticketed sights or you won't ride the Metro much, an EasyCard is cheaper.
The most popular option — choose pick-up at Taoyuan Airport before entering the city, or delivery to your hotel. Sometimes cheaper than the counter, with English interface. Best if you plan ahead.
🛒 Check prices on Klook →Another reliable platform for the Fun Pass at similar pricing. Compare with Klook — occasional deals or stock availability differences make it worth checking both.
🛒 Check prices on KKday →Tourist service counters at Taipei Main Station, City Hall, and Zhongxiao Fuxing. Full price, no discount, but instant — useful if you arrive without a pre-booked pass.
📍 Station locations →Compare before buying: Klook and KKday prices sometimes differ by NT$50–200, especially during promotional periods. Check both platforms and factor in any delivery fees before committing.
Airport MRT is not included. The Taoyuan Airport Express requires a separate ticket (roughly NT$150–160 to Taipei Main Station). The pass covers only the Taipei Metro network and city buses within the Taipei area.
Xpark, i-Ride, and Children's Amusement Park are excluded. These three popular attractions are frequently assumed to be included but require separate tickets in all cases.
Expiry counts from first use, not from purchase. Your 3-day pass begins on the day you first tap the card — not the day you bought it or picked it up. Do not tap casually to test the card.
Each attraction: one entry only. The Fun Pass grants a single admission to each included attraction. If you want to return to a site (e.g. visit Taipei 101 a second time), you pay the standard counter price for the second visit.
Some attractions require ID alongside the card. Particularly at venues with child or youth pricing, staff may ask to verify your passport alongside the pass to confirm eligibility. Keep your passport accessible.
Compare 1/2/3/5-day pass prices and read reviews from verified buyers. Choose airport pick-up at Taoyuan Terminal 1 or T2 before boarding the city MRT — no hunting around in the city for a counter.
