Taipei 101: 89th Floor Observatory Deck E-Ticket

37 Seconds to the Top: Taipei 101's Observatory Deck

You ride a high-speed elevator 37 seconds to the 89th floor of Taipei 101 and walk out into 360-degree views of the city and mountains. Your QR code ticket gets you past the 1st-floor counter, and you can spend as long as you want on the indoor viewing decks or the outdoor 91st-floor platform if weather permits. The whole experience is wheelchair accessible, and you choose your entry time when you book.

The experience

"Which floor are we actually going to?" The question comes up every time someone books this ticket, so let's settle it straight: you're heading to the 89th floor, where the real views are. The high-speed elevator gets you there in 37 seconds (fast enough that your ears pop a little), and then you step out into the kind of panorama that makes you understand why Taipei 101 is the landmark people actually visit. On clear days you can see all the way to the mountains. The ticket counter moved to the 1st floor of the Office Tower as of July 2026, so that's where you'll redeem your QR code and start the ride up.

The observatory sits across three levels: the 88th and 89th floors are climate-controlled indoor viewing areas, and if the weather holds, the 91st-floor outdoor deck opens up too. That's where you feel the wind and the city actually surrounds you instead of sitting behind glass. The 101st floor is not included in this ticket, so don't plan on it. Bring a phone or camera because the light changes fast up there, and the city looks different depending on the time of day. Wheelchair users can access all the viewing areas. Strollers work fine too, though it gets crowded in the afternoons.

Your QR code arrives in your email within 48 hours of booking, and you'll need to show it at the ticket counter on the 1st floor. The ticket is locked to your reservation date and time. You can't change the participant count or the date once it's issued, and it expires if you don't use it on the day you booked. Children under 115 cm tall get in free but have to stay with an adult the whole time. Security screening happens at the entrance, so no food, pets, or anything that looks suspicious makes it past the checkpoint.
