夕阳下的淡水河滨。

淡水（淡水區），或称淡水、丹水），新北市的新北市辖区，在19世纪曾是台湾北部航运和商业的中心。这座城市至今仍受台北游客欢迎，拥有许多历史景点，并且是观看日落的热门地点。

这座城镇自称英文名为“Tamsui”，并且是唯一一个在英文播报中使用台湾名称的台北捷运站。中文音译“Danshui”在2012年前使用，有时也会在台北和淡水周边的旅游广告中使用。

了解

淡水天际线。

淡水位于淡水河（丹水河）注入台湾海峡的河口附近。最初是台湾原住民的家园，随后西班牙人于1629年在此定居，建立了Santo Domingo 镇和传教所。西班牙人于1641年被荷兰人驱逐，荷兰人建造了安东尼奥堡，形成了今天所知的红毛城。荷兰人于1661年离开后，淡水继续发展，到19世纪成为台湾最大的港口。到20世纪，河道泥沙淤积迫使大多数港口业务转移到更北的基隆。由于靠近台北市，淡水已成为都市居民散步和沿河边享用咖啡的热门目的地。

抵达

乘坐地铁

从台北出发，最便捷的方式是搭乘台北捷运淡水（红线）至终点站淡水站。从台北车站出发约需40分钟。

四处逛逛

步行

淡水市中心大部分区域从捷运站步行即可轻松到达。出捷运站后左转，然后沿着河边右转。

往返八里区和渔人码头的渡轮从淡水渡船码头出发，步行约10分钟即可到达。沿台湾东北海岸和淡水河（丹水河）观光船从渔人码头出发。

• 4 淡水渡船碼頭 (淡水渡船碼頭). located near the north end of the waterfront area and offer ferries across the river to Bali Township, as well as Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf further north. Tickets run around NT$50 to Bali, and NT$100 to Fisherman's Wharf. When taking the ferry don't stand outside unless you enjoy getting wet! Closed in the event of bad weather. (updated Jun 2019)

乘巴士

R26巴士将带您从淡水捷运站前往圣多明哥堡或渔人码头。后者距离捷运站有一定步行距离，所以如果您不想乘船或租自行车，巴士可能是更好的选择。

骑自行车

在淡水捷运站以北的主干道上的几家商店租用自行车。全天租金通常为300新台币。或者在八里租自行车沿着河滨骑行。这非常受欢迎且便宜（每小时从30新台币的小型自行车到100新台币的双人自行车）。请务必先检查自行车，因为安全标准各不相同。

乘坐电车

淡海轻轨连接渔人码头和捷运红树林站，穿越淡海新市镇。也许在长时间步行后，可以乘坐“轻便”的交通工具？计划修建一条从码头延伸到八里的连接线，但尚未开始施工，所以不要被宣传册欺骗！
