Book a trip from London to Taipei with Cathay Pacific , fares from GBP779

Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers daily flights to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) with a layover at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). Flights from LHR to TPE take around 14 hours 30 minutes, including the layover, and take you to Terminal 1 in Taipei.

Upon your arrival in Taipei

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is located 40km west of Taipei. 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. The Airport MRT is another convenient option, which takes 35 minutes to the centrally-located Taipei Main Station.

A brief introduction to Taipei

A fascinating blend of Chinese, Japanese and South-East Asian influences, Taipei is the political and cultural capital of Taiwan and is best known for its world class architecture, delicious street food, and bustling night markets.

Once the tallest building in the world, the majestic bamboo-inspired Taipei 101 offers excellent panoramic views of Taipei – especially at night when the city lights are shining.

For a taste of Taiwan’s renowned cuisine, be sure to visit the Shilin Night Market, where you can sample Taiwanese fried chicken, oyster omelettes, and pan-fried stuffed buns. Taiwan is also famous for its bubble tea which features chewy tapioca pearls and other toppings.

Culture lovers will appreciate the 700,000+ ancient Chinese artefacts on display at the National Palace Museum. If you are interested in learning more about Taiwan’s history, you should also consider visiting the National Taiwan Museum. For something more off the beaten path, we recommend exploring the charming area of Tamsui, which features a picturesque boardwalk decorated with Dutch colonial monuments and plenty of authentic local restaurants.
