Holiday calendarPublic holidays in Taiwan
dates, names and what's closed
It's worth planning around Taiwan's holiday calendar: attractions, museums and banks close, public transport switches to a holiday timetable, and flight and hotel prices around long weekends jump. On the upside — festivals, parades and markets you won't see on an ordinary day.

What's closed on public holidays in Taiwan?
Banks, government offices and post offices close. Many supermarkets and shops close or run reduced hours, especially in smaller towns. Public transport usually shifts to a weekend timetable, and museums and attractions vary — check ahead.
Is it worth visiting Taiwan during a holiday?
