Baguio- Summer Capital of the Philippines!


Going to Baguio:

Go to Victory Liner at Edsa, Pasay City. The fare is Php 450.00. Travel time is around six to seven hours.

Where to stay: 

There are different hotels, apartelles and transients in Baguio. Most people prefer to stay in transients because it was cheaper and some find it more comfortable because you can cook and bring food inside.

If you want to stay in a quiet and more secluded place so you could rest, I would definitely recommend Northpine Transient House located at Scout Barrio. They have three transient house at the back of Camp John Hay. We stayed at Transient 3. The rooms are very clean and was well maintained. They also have a veranda and rooftop where you can grill and drink. Over night stay is Php300 per person.

Here are the places that we visited: 

Burnham Park
View from Mines View
Lourdes Grotto
Access to the top of the grotto could be made by climbing the 252 steps
Igorot Garden
Baguio Cathedral
The Mansion
Other Places:
Baguio City Hall
Wright Park
McDonald's Baguio Insular

You can also visit the Baguio City Central Market to buy pasalubong and to check for good finds at their ukay ukay.

Because of time constraints we were not able to go to Camp John Hay, Strawberry Farm in Trinidad and Tamawan Village.

We ate at Good Taste. The food was pleasing and very affordable. The place is like an old canteen located at the back of Baguio Centermall. You can buy a satisfying meal for less that 100 pesos.
Our Php 75.00 each meal


Baguio City is one of the most visited places in the Philippines because of the climate, food and nice tourist spots especially during Panagbengga festival (every February).

We also boarded a Victory Liner bus going to Manila.

I have been to Baguio four time but I'm still looking forward for another visit in Baguio City- The City of Pines!
