Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[Cuppamocha]

Thanks Cheermama for the post.Yes, we are also taking the express bus from Airport to Taipei on arrival.


But I am asking to be driven from the hotel to the airport on my last day. I don’t want to lug the kids and the luggages + and the long list of things the Significant Other intends to buy (shhh… cannot let her see this) to go to the airport. After 6 days, I think I will be very tired.

on our last day, we took cab fr ximenting to the express bus terminal 国光客运总站near taipei station . less than twd 200.

Hi, Anyone have contact for a driver that can pick us from Taipei hotel (near to Taipei Main Station) to TaoYuan airport?

The charges quoted by the hotel is about 1400NT. We have 2 young kids and prefer not to take the train.

I took a cab from ximending to airport (midnight 4 plus am) -NT 850

Depending on what vehicle, a 7 seater or a 9 seater?


In general, a 7 seater wish costs NT1000-NT1200 for airport transfer.

Hi all,


I’m travelling to Taipei for the 1st time with my hub, dad and 2 kids (1 and 4 years old) in mid Dec. We’ll touch down at about 5+am. Is it recommended for us to take Freego coach to my hotel at CityInn Plus XMD? Any places/activities to suggest so early in the morning while waiting for hotel check-in? Thanks alot!

One useful info I picked up from HWZ forum...

- exchange rate is best at DBS Taiwan, no admin fee either;
- if you do run out of cash, you can withdraw from DBS TW's atm (no fee). But exchange rate not as good as exchanging over the counter. Remember to activate your ATM card for oversea withdrawal;

According to Google Maps Taiwan, almost 60km or 2+ hour travelling time.

For those looking for transportation to and from airport, you can try http://www.e-go.com.tw/web2010/cht/transportion_service.php.


My cousin, who lives in US with her Taiwanese husband, goes to Taiwan every other year. Since they always carry a lot of gifts for their Taiwan relatives, they find the luggage space very limited in the cab. So they always engage e-go and find them to be very reliable. Cost is about NT1200.

Just read about this attraction, Baby Boss, where kids can try out various occupations. Any feedback?
