✈️ Getting there

TPETaiwan Taoyuan International Airport
📍 40 km35 min🚌 Airport MRT (Express)🚌 Airport MRT (Commuter)🚌 Bus🚕 Taxi

The purple-line Airport MRT Express runs directly to Taipei Main Station in 35 minutes for NT$160 (around €5) with an EasyCard — trains depart from inside both terminals and run until 11:36pm, making it the default choice for almost every traveler.

Taoyuan is Taiwan's major international hub and one of Asia's busiest airports — two large terminals (a third opening 2026) served by over 60 airlines including China Airlines, EVA Air, and most major European carriers, with efficient transit connections and one of Asia's better airport food courts.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Taipei — beyond the tourist trail.

🍜Eat at Lin Dong Fang for beef noodle soup — this 70-year-old Michelin Bib Gourmand spot on Xinyi Road uses a broth simmered with Chinese medicinal spices that makes every other beef noodle taste unfinished. Arrive at 11:30am when it opens; by noon there's a queue.
🌄Hike Elephant Mountain (Xiangshan) on a weekday evening — the 20-minute climb from Xiangshan MRT Station ends at the famous row of rocks with the Taipei 101 skyline directly ahead. Arrive 30 minutes before sunset for the best light; the trail is lit at night and safe to descend in the dark.
🏘️Take the bus from Ruifang Station to Jiufen Old Street on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning — the mountain-clinging former gold-mining town with its red lanterns and steep tea-house stairs is overrun on weekends. The A-Mei Tea House has the most dramatic view; order the house oolong and stay for an hour.
🌙Skip Shilin Night Market (full of tourists) and go to Raohe Street Night Market instead — it's shorter, more local, and the pepper pork buns (hujiao bing) from the famous stall at the temple end of the market are genuinely one of the great street food experiences in Asia. Queue before 7pm.
♨️Take the MRT to Xinbeitou Station and walk 15 minutes to the public outdoor hot spring pools at Millennium Hot Spring (Qianniangongyuan) — open from 5:30am, entry just NT$40 (around €1.20), and the green sulfur water is unique to Beitou's volcanic geology. Weekday mornings are almost empty.
