What the guide flags for older travellers.

Step-free MRT and taxis are cheap; heat and stairs at temples. (Good for · verdict: ok)
Taipei is one of the easier Asian cities on wheels: every MRT station has a lift and tactile paths, and trains are step-free. The problems are narrow pavements blocked by scooters, uneven paving in older streets, and steps at temples and small restaurants. (Accessibility · summary)
