AIRPORT INFORMATION

Taipei has two major airports:

  • Taoyuan International Airport (TPE): Located about 45 minutes west of the Taipei by car. It is the destination of most international flights coming into Taipei.

  • Songshan International Airport (TSA): Located in the heart of Taipei, with quick and easy access to the city. It is a smaller airport that serves fewer international routes, with flights to China, Japan, Korea, and within Taiwan.

​

Multiple ground transportation options are available to take travelers from the airport to their destinations:

  • KKDay and Klook offer competitively-priced private car transfers for pre-booking

  • Uber is accessible via your usual app and connected payment method (a small rate conversion fee may apply)

  • 55688 is a reliable local taxi company with English-speaking operators

  • The Taoyuan Airport MRT offers a direct connection to downtown Taipei. Fares for the purple Express (38 minutes) and blue Commuter (50 minutes) trains both cost NT $160 (US $5).

HOTEL RECOMMENDATIONS
