Taipei 101 was the world’s tallest building when it opened in 2004, its bamboo-inspired design and massive tuned mass damper (visible to visitors) still drawing crowds to its observation decks.
Observatory Ticket
An observatory ticket covers the indoor and outdoor viewing decks around the 89th floor, including a look at the building’s giant wind damper.
Skyline 460 Ticket
The Skyline 460 ticket adds access to the 460-meter outdoor deck near the spire, the highest outdoor viewing point in Taipei.
Is Skyline 460 Worth It?
The extra elevation offers a noticeably different, more exposed outdoor experience, worth it for visitors specifically seeking the highest possible vantage point over standard observatory access.
