Retro Taiwan — Historic Sites

Walking maps of old buildings

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Retro Taiwan catalogs over a thousand legally designated heritage sites and historic buildings across Taiwan, inviting you to rediscover the island at walking pace. WHAT'S INSIDE Every site comes from Taiwan's National Cultural Memory Bank and carries official heritage status — not a casual list, but buildings that have gone through formal cultural preservation review. HOW IT WORKS • Map overview — see nearby heritage buildings at a glance, with clusters for dense old towns • Walking routes — auto-generated routes by theme and distance, no manual planning needed • Check-ins & favorites — log the places you've visited and save the ones you love • Five languages — Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean DESIGN PHILOSOPHY No marketing gloss — just each building's age, designation, and story. Your location data stays on your device and is never uploaded or shared. Every old building and every street holds a story Taiwan hasn't finished telling. Open the map and start walking from your own neighborhood.

New: Curated Walks. Nine themed routes through Mengjia (Wanhua), Dadaocheng, the old walled city and Beitou, plus routes on tea and coal-mining heritage, military villages and communities, and human rights history. Each route comes with an introduction and notes for every stop. New: Cultural Places. Coal-mine remains, a tea promotion center, memorials, community culture halls and more. They are not designated heritage sites, but they are part of the city's story, and appear on the map with their own icon. Added newly designated monuments and historic buildings in Taipei, including Huanan New Village at National Chengchi University and the Wenzhou Street dormitories.
