Buy your Taiwanese dollars (TWD) before your departure to Taiwan.
Are you preparing your trip to Taiwan, this beautiful country with an exuberant nature? In order to have a peaceful stay and really enjoy your trip, we advise you to find out as much as possible about your destination country. A very important aspect would be the local currency, the Taiwanese dollar ( TWD). Taiwan is very developed and your credit cards will be accepted in most places, but perhaps not everywhere. You may need some Taiwanese dollars in cash or some of your payments. Therefore, we suggest that you do your eur twd conversion before you leave. This will allow you to compare eur twd exchange rates to get the best deal.
Practical tips for planning your budget
Allow an average of TWD 1175 per day for your trip to Taiwan. This will allow you to pay for accommodation, two meals and your daily transport ticket. For small purchases, for instance when buying transport tickets, it is better to exchange twd beforehand so as to have enough cash.
Accommodation in a 3* the hotel will cost you TWD 1500 for two people. If you want to try typical Taiwanese food in a restaurant it will cost you $400 per meal. You can also try Taiwanese fast food, which will cost you TWD 140 on average.
