APT Taipei 2024 Location and How to Get There

The CTP Asia Poker Arena and Chinese Mahjong League are hosting the APT Taipei 2024 festival. Both are located in central Taipei, which is a 40-minute taxi ride from Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport.

The easiest way to reach central Taipei is by pre-booking an airport pickup and dropoff via ATP's official travel partner, DK Poker Tour Bookings. A one-way trip costs around $42, with a return trip costing $84. It's worth noting that you'll receive a $20 or $30 discount if you book seven or ten day's accommodation through DK Poker Tour Bookings.

Please note bookings must be made at least one week in advance

Alternatively, the Travel as Local (TAL) taxi service will happily take you to central Taipei for around $45.

The Airport Line (Express) train stops at the airport and will take you to Taipei Main Station in approximately 70 minutes. From Taipei Main Station, you can either take a short five-minute walk to Rear Station, where you can catch the #52 bus to Zhongshan Girls High School, which is nine stops (13 minutes) away.

The Beimen Station is also a five-minute walk from Taipei Main Station. From here, catch the Songshan-Xindian MRT for two stops to Songjiang Nanjing Station. The CTP Asia Poker Arena is a ten-minute walk once you get off the bus.

Where to Stay During APT Taipei 2024

You are spoiled for choice regarding where to stay while in Taipei. However, it is worth noting that most of the marquee event action is occurring at the CTP Asia Poker Arena in the heart of the Zhongzheng District, while mixed games and high rollers are playing out at the Chinese Mahjong League in the nearby Songshan District.

The APT recommends the following hotels:

NameAddressStarting Price per NightPackages From
CHECK InnNo. 16, Section 3, Nanjing E Road$110$785
Artree HotelSection 3, Bade Rd $860
Jiamei HotelNo. 12, Beiping E Rd $510

Food and Drink in Taipei

Taipei has dozens of restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, including American BBQ, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Korean; you're sure to find something you like!

The APT has singled out a handful of eateries that are highly rated based on their Google reviews.

Baba Kevin's American Barbecue smokes all its meat in traditional Texas fashion, making it the perfect joint for meat lovers. You'll find this restaurant in Alley 8, Lane 303, Section 3 on Nanjing E Road in the Songshan District; getting there by cab takes eight-to-ten minutes from APT Taipei 2024's venues.

No. 128, Songjiang Road in the Zhongshan District, is where you will stumble upon the Yang Shin Vegetarian Restaurant. It offers a fusion of Western culinary concepts, local Taiwanese ingredients, Japanese cooking skills, and Chinese techniques as the chefs produce some incredible vegetarian cuisine.

Also in the Zhongshan District, at No. 1-1, SonJiang Road, is the Mayur Indian Kitchen Restaurant & Shisha Bar. Offering an Indian and Chinese menu, this restaurant also has vegan dishes available, plus a dedicated hookah shisha lounge.

Of course, there is also Japanese-style conveyor belt style sushi at the Sushi Express Yitong Restaurant in Section 2, Nanjing East Road, in Zhongshan District. Open 11:00 a.m. until 9:30 p.m., this eatery is perfect if you fancy a quick bite to eat.

Party in Taipei!

The highlight of the APT Taipei 2024 nightlife will be the APT Players Party on March 7, featuring music from DJ Lynne. However, if you fancy dancing the night away or enjoying your favorite tipple before then, you should head to HAKU Taipei, Triangle, the James Joyce Irish Bar, or soak up the latest sporting events at the Brass Monkey Taipei.
