I have a 12 hour layover in Taipei- is it worth it to check into Sheraton Taipei and walk around the area ?

Question

What is the best way to get to Sheraton Taipei and what can we do in that twelve hours? How long does it take to get back to the airport?

Answer 1

Taipei is definitely worth exploring. 12 hour is not enough. Get 2 days at least!

Answer 2

Why Sheraton: Is it free??

It will take you an hour to get to Sheraton by the Airbus West NTD140/- per head. Getting back to the Airport-Go to the Bus station from the Taipei Main Station as it is regular and timing is good. Airbus somewhat not reliable getting to the Airport. http://www.freewebs.com/crazyazn/busstat...

Cab fares is around USD50 one way from Airport to city - so not worth it.

What time do you arrive and depart. If you take out 3~4 hrs for transport e.t.c. you still have a good 8 hours to go around Taipei City.

Get a Day Pass for convenience for the MRT and use the Subway to get from place to place.

Sheraton is on the Blue Line -Shangdao Temple Station-one min outside Hotel Entrance.
