Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers daily flights to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) from Dubai International Airport (DXB) with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from DXB to TPE take around 10 hours 15 minutes, including the layover, and bring you to Terminal 1 in Taipei.

Upon your arrival in Taipei

Located 40km west of Taipei, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is served by several transport options that can get you into the city. We recommend taking a taxi, which can be found outside the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 arrivals hall, and takes about an hour to reach the city centre. Taipei’s Airport MRT is another convenient option and takes around 35 minutes to get to the centrally-located Taipei Main Station.

A brief introduction to Taipei

Explore world class museums, bustling night markets, delicious street food, and awe-inspiring architecture in Taiwan's political and cultural capital.

Begin your journey by exploring Taipei’s numerous museums, some of the most popular being the National Palace Museum and the National Taiwan Museum. From there, be sure to visit the towering Taipei 101 skyscraper, which offers excellent panoramic views of the entire city.

Taiwan is renowned for its culinary scene, particularly its street food. We recommend exploring the Shilin Night Market, where you can sample Taiwanese fried chicken, oyster omelettes, and pan-fried stuffed buns. Taiwan is also famous for its fruity or milky bubble tea that features chewy tapioca pearls and other toppings.

For something more off the beaten track, consider exploring the charming area of Tamsui, which features a picturesque boardwalk decorated with Dutch colonial monuments and authentic local restaurants.
