Parc Astérix from Disneyland Paris: taxi and guide 2026

Taxi Disneyland → Parc Astérix (€150, ~1h). Combine the two parks in one stay, practical advice 2026.

Parc Astérix from Disneyland

The Parc Astérix, the great Gallic rival of the Disney parks, is renowned for its thrill roller coaster (Thunder 2 Zeus, Goudurix, OzIris). It is located north of Paris, approximately 70km from Disneyland, or 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes by taxi. Without a car, it is very difficult to access: the taxi is by far the easiest option.

Organize Asterix day

The park is not served by public transport from Disneyland (you would have to go through Paris then a shuttle from CDG). A day trip by taxi avoid all these logistics: drop off in the morning at the entrance, return at the end of the day. Book the return in advance so you don't have to wait until after closing.

Direct transfer Disneyland → Asterix

We provide transportation from your Disney hotel to Parc Astérix (see also our dedicated page). 7-seater vehicle ideal for families and groups, free child seats, large trunk. Taximeter quote depending on the hotel, one way or round trip.
