    TAIPEI

    With a relatively laid-back vibe, efficient public transportation, and plenty of open spaces in which to frolic, Taiwan’s capital is undeniably one of the friendliest cities in Asia for traveling families.

    Taipei is easy enough to navigate via its reliable MRT system, but for first-timers wishing to get their bearings, the Taipei Sightseeing Tour Bus (taipeisightseeing.com.tw) hops between major attractions like the Ximending retail district and the pagoda-inspired Taipei 101 (taipei-101.com.tw).

Also check out the grounds of (), where () hosts changing pop-up exhibitions, a free merry-goround, and a vibrant farmers’ market on weekends. Make time to stop by at its small, Lego-inspired Bricks Café.
