I went on a weekend and it was overcrowded!!! Barely any space to move! Overcrowded just to see the views. You can buy souvenirs and food there. I got the 🌽 and it was yummy. The bathroom was clean though when I went. The ticket fee isn't pricey at all, but no parking unless you go early.

The view is magnificent where you can see the horizons of Baguio and Alphaland country Club is visible from Mines View. Compare to my last visit before pandemic, they already have an entrance fee of Php10.00. Several renovations has been done and the comfort rooms was improved. There are more Tiangge’s where you can buy Pasalubongs and Souvenirs. HorseBack photo ops starts at Php50.00 Traditional Clothing photo ops starts at Php100.00 A picture with the St. Bernard dog is Php100.00 You will still get the same classic feeling of Mines View Park! Follow me for more review critics!

A classic Baguio tourist spot. It is a reminder of Benguet as a mining town. Parking can be challenging especially on the weekends. You only have to pay a minimal environmental fee to enter, which was 10 pesos as of July 2023. There’s a lot of food stalls and souvenir shops in the area. If you fancy riding a pink horse, you may do that here too.

Visiting Mines View Observation Deck is a must for anyone traveling to Baguio. The breathtaking views and the opportunity to engage with the local culture are definite highlights. However, the crowds and pushy vendors can be a downside, so it's best to go early in the day to enjoy a more peaceful experience. Pros: Scenic Views: The main highlight of Mines View Observation Deck is, of course, the stunning panoramic view of the mining town of Itogon and the surrounding Cordillera mountains. The sight of the mining town nestled amidst the mountains is truly captivating and provides ample photo opportunities. Cultural Experience: Mines View is a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture. You can rent traditional Cordillera attire and have your photos taken in them, which adds a unique cultural dimension to your visit. Souvenir Shopping: The adjacent souvenir shops offer a wide variety of locally made handicrafts, jewelry, and other souvenirs. It's a good place to pick up gifts or keepsakes to remember your trip by. Food Options: There are stalls selling local snacks and refreshments, allowing you to enjoy some refreshments while taking in the view. Cons: Crowded and Commercialized: Mines View Observation Deck can get extremely crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons. The commercialization of the area can sometimes detract from the natural beauty of the place. Pushy Vendors: While the souvenir shops offer a diverse range of products, some vendors can be quite persistent and pushy, which can be off-putting for visitors who prefer a more relaxed shopping experience. Limited Parking: Finding parking nearby can be a challenge, especially during busy times, which can be frustrating for those traveling by car. Limited Amenities: The observation deck lacks modern amenities, such as restroom facilities, so visitors should plan accordingly.

Last visit here was more than decade ago, and it has improved a lot: much cleaner, wider and clearer path ways, more organized/orderly sections now compared to before. It might be the case for us as we visited during weekday morning (~10am) so there wasn't much of a crowd and parking was not a problem.

The deck provided a scenic view of Baguio’s outskirts and was great for picture taking. However, the stairs leading to it are steeper than most. Before heading to the deck itself, there are numerous stalls selling flowers and souvenirs such as shirts, tote bags, fans, and many more. Animal attractions are also present. They have horses with manes dyed pink and a St. Bernard dog wearing sunglasses. There were not a lot of people as we went in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday.

As usual. You’ve got a nice view here if the weather permits you because sometimes the fog eats the view. Never the less it’s so relaxing and there are stalls where you can buy your pasalubongs as well. You just have to pay a small amount for you to enter the place but it’s worth it.

Expect this place to be packed. A lot of local tourists take turns capturing their photos. Bring some extra money. A lot of goods and foods are quite pricey, especially the strawberry taho. You can purchase rare plants and herbs as well. Overall, I advise that you go to Baguio in early February before the summer even starts.

I love mines view park. Although it's quite Little park, we really enjoyed here. I love the breeze that kisses my cheek hehe💜🥰

The car parking is free but very limited, parking attendant will assist you. You can also park on private places nearby but you will be ask to pay 100 pesos. 10peso entrance fee for the park. Great view, a lot of souvenir/pasalubong shop and you can rent an igorot outfit for 50pesos.

The place gets lots of tourists so it gets really crowded. The observation deck provides great views but it probably can't handle a lot of people especially with just one telescope. There are native costumes for rent available as well as shops for souvenirs.

Gives a nice view of the mountains. Can get too crowded though, since tourists are not limited even in this time of the pandemic. Nice place to buy plants or get a quick bite too.

Great place to visit. Don't forget it to your itinerary. However, sometimes it's too crowded that it's hard to get decent photos of yours because there are a lot of people especially during weekends. Luckily I was able to get these photos. Love the scenery.

Gorgeous view! The crowd here had a great vibe. The traditional clothing was amazing. There were so many proud faces. The kids were so cute.

I find this place overrated, the view of the countryside from the observation deck is nice but not spectacular and that's it. The rest are souvenirs, strawberries, flowers, local garments and jewelry, and standard food offerings. It was crowded, so the experience was less enjoyable.

Great view! Went here on a foggy day but we still got a view. You can buy souvenirs and pasalubongs here! 10PHP for environmental fee.

Very beautiful place. Make sure to have grippy shoes, because it is easy to fall here. For those with weak knees, bring a walking stick as some steps are steep.

One of the best place to go to when you are in Baguio City. It has a very picturesque view of the mountains. You will be in awe when you get to be at the viewing deck. There are also horse back riding picture taking area, many flowers and fruit stalls and a bunch of pasalubong centers. Their restrooms are also well maintained. It's clean. You have to pay P8 pesos for the maintenance of the restrooms.

Mines View Observation Deck is another tourist attraction in Baguio City. The entrance fee is just 10 pesos and you can have the view that you can take photos of. They have a lot of stalls that you can choose from that offer different kinds of souvenirs, plants, food packs, clothes, and other pasalubongs. They also have a St Bernard dog that you can take photos of but with a price. They also have ponies that you can ride just for a photo of. Just outside of it are different stores where you can also buy your souvenirs.

Pretty much the same view you can get from any high point in Baguio. There are a few decent places to grab a quick snack and personally I like the little souvenir shops. Also I went with a couple of local friends which made it a whole lot more interesting and pleasant.

Breathtaking views. Refreshing. The entrance is only 10pesos each head. There is some horses that you can set on and take a photo which is I didn't do cuz I feel sad to the horse. They also not look happy. Lots of flowers for sale in affordable price. Perfect for sunrise and sunset viewing.

Entrance is P10. The view is nice. Lots of pasalubong shops. You can rent Igorot costume to take pictures for P50. There're fancy horses to take pictures as well.

Quite a serene place to visit if you come early in the morning. It gets cold up there, so if you're not used to cold weather, bring a sweater or jacket. It is a good place to take pictures, esp. when the fog is out. The staircases going up and coming down from the view deck get slippery when wet, so be careful. You'll pass by the souvenir and plant stores / booths on your way up to the view deck, but you can always shop on your way down. You can also take pictures with the St. Bernard (woof, woof) with pay and if hungry, restaurants are available outside Mines View, where the parking areas are at. More Souvenir stores can be located outside as well. PLS. DO NOT LITTER. Bring your trash at home.

Been going back and forth with family since my childhood. There has been improvement after few decades. Now its more organized and clean. Before it was so disorganized and hard to go to the mines view bec of alot of shantees. But now it has a dirdct path and clean pathway towards the mines view point. Thought there is now a 10 pesos entrance fee per adult. Parking can be done nearby public market

Lots of tourists. Not spacious. But the view on the deck is beautiful. You can buy plants and souvenirs inside. You can take pictures with horses wearing costumes or not.

Sunrise and sunset is a must experience here. We visited this on a normal weekday, and there's still a couple of people so expect huge crowd on weekends specially on holidays. Also a classic spot for us. I've been here for a lot of times since I was kid and it still has the same feels.

Went to Burnham Park on a Sunday. There is a crowd anywhere but it is given since it is a tourist spot that is accessible to everyone. The lights are beautiful at night since we went during Christmas season. Some spots were dark alleys when you walk on them but otherwise, good for friendly and family dates!

A place that everyone wanted to visit. So many activities that your family can enjoy, but expect heavy traffic in the city. So, I advice be there early so you can have so much fun and enjoy before the crowd. But I love to go back to Baguio and explore more

We went to Burnham Park during the holidays and expect that there are a lot of visitors. The park is jam packed with tourists and locals. All sides of the park had activity areas from playgrounds, rentable bicycles, rowing of boat on the lake and even picnic area. Even though it is jam packed it is still walkable and there are still ample space for sitting and setting up a picnic area. We had a nice experience especially the weather is nice and had a very cold breeze even at the peak of the sun in morning

A great place to go on the weekends to bond and have fun with the family. They offer different activities like biking, skating & boating. The place is well maintained and is clean. Security is also good as they have guards patrolling the area who also are very respectful.

Cool park, nice place to spend time with your loved ones and family, they have food stalls and bike area where both adult and kids can enjoy. they also offer boat ride in the lake. Go here at night for cool breeze

The place was also nice to see in the morning especially trying activities a family can enjoy like biking, riding a boat and having picnics. There are food area and lots of rest rooms. Parking is just hard during peak season. (Forgot to take pics since we just visit first in the evening for the night market 😊). The night market is beside the park.

An excellent place for family and friends to visit. It has no entrance fees, and has a lake where you can ride a boat (P 150) and park grounds where you can ride small bikes (P 100). Not a place I would recommend at night as it gets quite dark here at some spots. But the morning is a superb experience you will definitely want to come back to.

A very beautiful park in the heart of Baguio city.. you can do many activities there.. sailing a boat in the lake, biking, having a massage, buying ice cream. It is full of families and friends.. kind people would smile whenever your eyes meet. I will certainly go back there someday.

Great place and one of the popular spots to visit in Baguio. You can enjoy the waterpark rides and take a stroll around the area. The place is also quite near the Baguio City mall. Best ride that I enjoyed is Bump car (recommended with friends). Much better to visit Burnham Park during summer. There's no enough shade if ever you'll get caught in the rain. You can't walk around whenever it rains. The lake is also not attractive during rainy days.

In Burnham Park, Baguio City, my favorite moment was a peaceful boat ride on Burnham Lake, surrounded by greenery. The park's well-tended gardens and lively atmosphere, with families picnicking and street performances, created a delightful escape in the heart of the city. ©️CGPT

Great place to have fun or relax with your friends or family. The place looks amazing and great for taking long walks. There are also guides on the paths for the blind

A great place for a trip with your family, friends and your partner! -There are available paddle boat operators that you can rent from 200-350 pesos. -Bikes can be rented from 75 pesos up to 150 pesos that is already good for 30 minutes. Location is strategic. There are several walking distance establishments where you can eat and jeepney vehicles are just nearby.

I've been to Baguio for several times but never had the chance to visit Burnham Park. I read a lot of comments that it is not that beautiful but to my surprise, It exceeded my expectation. The park is bustling with positive energy. The cool weather is perfect for the people renting bikes and boats. There are stalls that sells food and the atmosphere is vibrant. It really is the heart of Baguio city. The place is open 24 hours and it is also bright during night. The place is well lit and you will feel that it is safe. There are a lot of students practicing even at night. I was surprised that it was near SM Baguio and Session Road. Definitely a must visit in Baguio city.

Perfect bonding moment! One of the best place in Baguio City is the Burnham Park. How did this place became so great? Well, there are numbers of activities that you can enjoy there with your friends, family, or someone/people you love. One of the spots that I really loved was riding the Boat. As a first timer boat paddler (? Lol), I really enjoyed it. Try the other activities there too!

Burnham Park offers a beautiful natural setting and a wide range of recreational activities, making it a must-visit destination in Baguio. However, visitors should be prepared for crowds and limited parking, especially during peak times. Despite these challenges, the park's natural beauty and affordability make it a worthwhile experience for anyone exploring Baguio. Pros of Burnham Park: Scenic Beauty: The park is nestled in the heart of Baguio and offers picturesque views of a man-made lake, well-maintained gardens, and towering pine trees.

While this can be convenient, it has also led to a slightly cluttered appearance in some areas. Maintenance: While the park is generally well-maintained, some areas could benefit from more attention and regular upkeep, especially during the rainy season when certain paths can get muddy.

Same good old Burnham Park only that it's quite dark on the lake part. What's special this month is the enchanting Baguio Christmas that can be felt there through the decorations and the lights on the other side of the park.

Burnham Park is a must-visit place when you are in Baguio. It is a great place to relax, have fun, or learn something new. You can spend a whole day here or just a few hours, depending on your preference. You can also find some hotels, restaurants, and shops near the park, making it convenient for tourists. Burnham Park is a park that has something for everyone. Burnham Park is one of the most popular attractions in Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines. It is a large park that offers a variety of activities for visitors of all ages. Whether you want to relax, have fun, or learn something new, you will find something to enjoy in this park. The park was designed by American architect Daniel Hudson Burnham, who also planned the layout of Baguio City. The park covers 32 hectares and has 12 main areas, each with its own features and attractions.

Surprised to see a crowd of people in Burnham Park at night time- babies, kids, teens, and families just enjoying the night stroll. The place is safe as there are police officers were everywhere. Lots of food, drinks, coffee, milk tea and more to choose from when you feel hungry. The bike area is also packed although one can still manage to enjoy bike riding. Busking was also allowed. Rides were also available for kids to enjoy. Sparkling night to remember with all the Christmas lights all over the trees and pathways! A must-see when visiting Baguio during the holidays! Great work for all the organizers of the Park and to the Police officers who were there to ensure the safety of everyone.

Visited during the holidays and the park was full of tourists. I appreciate that they keep the park clean, there are also public restrooms and different areas where you can do some fun activities with family and friends.

Burnham Park is a must visit spot in Baguio City, and even though it's been a while since I've been there, I can still recall the lively atmosphere at night. Delicious street food stalls lining around the park, and a bustling night market full of treasures waiting to be discovered. It's like stepping into a lively scene straight out of a movie, with people laughing, chatting, and enjoying the local vibes. It's a nostalgic experience that showcases the heart and soul of Baguio's culture.

Oh how I missed Burnham Park. I used to come here every morning to run around the lake many years ago. It still was a great place for a nice walk, some bump-car fun, and the like. The holiday market (?) was well designed and decorated, so I'd recommend visiting this place around Christmas.

You just can't skip Burham Park whenever you're in Baguio. Best to go here during weekdays for that mid-to-late afternoon stroll. You'll see lots of assortment of activities: lake boat rides, bikes, food stalls scattered around. Gardens are well maintained and there are lots of seating around. But best to enjoy the walks, the scenery, in that cold Baguio breeze.

The park is in the heart of the city. Walking distance from session road. Has so many food stalls inside. Amazing activities await you like go karts, swan boats and others. Foods are amazing. We got taho, fruit sticks.

went to Bagiuo,coincidentally it was time for the famous Pinagbenga festival. hotels are fully booked. the mall and parks are packed. traffic was bad. though thats what festivities are about.... gotta love the Philippines!

There's a long line for buyers when we went here on Monday, took us roughly 30mins to an hour. They have chairs set ro line but there are portions exposed to the sun, hopefully they can organize it better. They only use paper bags since they don't support the use of plastics, they offer P45 ecobag or cartons for big orders only, so better if you bring your own ecobag. Ube jam bottles are not wrapped on papers, its less secured. Product taste and quality-wise, exceptional as ever.

Me and family have been going to good shepherd when i was young. Now that i have a family of my own… we also go here for all of their products especially ube jam. But during weekends and holidays, there so many people… surprisingly when we went on a Monday and no holiday… the ube jam was unavailable. Oh note, compared to when i was younger, they now have a great view of the mine…

This is where you can get quality ube jam. The only downside is the long lines. If you're in a rush to buy ube jam, you can go to one of the nearby stalls, albeit the price will be a bit higher.

Get your Ube jam here as this is the official outlet. Freshest stock at the lowest price compared to resellers. Although expect long lines during peak hours and it is recommended to go morning time. Parking is being actively managed/monitored by helpful guards and its mostly park-shop-and-go in around 15mins or so.

We arrived past 11am the ube and strawberry jam was completely sold out. Was advised to come as early as 8am. Numbers are distributed. One person gets to buy 2 bottles for each type of product. Parking wasn’t so bad

May 2023: We were here at 8am but the guard said they will open at 9:30am. So, I just bought Ube Jam from the reseller outside at P400/bottle.

Went here today at 230pm less car more parking. Not a long line. Good decision to go here before closing time.

The place to buy the best ube jam in Baguio. They have other selections like Kalinga coffee, lengua de gato, peanut brittle (filled up inside, not just the outside), and so much more. The venue is actually very nice with a good view of the mine's view valley and a mini-park for the station of the cross. It's quite organized now given the number of people buying their goodies and plenty of available parking space. And btw, that's a rainbow tree by the men's CR outside for those who haven't seen one in person 😆

i really love their products they are so tasty and delicious. While for the place, is it so clean and i love their plants also.

Parking: You will struggle on parking starting by noon time, where people starts to go here Restroom/ Washing Area: Yes they have Ambiance: Currently on renovation, thus I can say much Cleanliness: n/a Price : I can say worth the price 😅👌 Menu Range: Stocks are limited, so I recommend to ge here early in the morning. When we went here around noon, items were almost sold out Taste: good Staff: good Remarks: Lets wait for the renovation to completed and lets see if theres improvements. Many peps still choose to go in long line for thier authentic products such as ube jams. But I gotta warn you that you can only bought 3 jar (per person) due to limited stocks.

Always so organized, anlways a destination shop point, always running out of stocks because they are artisanal. Glad to be part of the nun’s project. And of course the ube jam is still the best, alfajor still sinful, and strawberry jelly ideal for PBJ.

There’s no changes of flavour, it was really tasty, sweet and pure purple yam.. hopefully I can bring more of this is Au, and share it to my colleagues and friends, how yummy it is! Proud pinoy here! 🤗

Like the place, with parking, clean restrooms, and the staff are hospitable. Cheers

Also a lot of people taking photos outside. Need to wait for your turn to get a solo. You can just have a quick photo here after wright park, mines view park. They are all near each other

"Do not miss It" It's a large Mansion, the summer vacation house of the President of the Philippines, nothing fancy but still worthy of taking pictures for Instagram etc, sometimes the gates are closed/open it depends if the Guards received an order to open/close it, you can't really get close to the Mansion when the gates are opened, you can enter the area just around the flowerbeds anything else is restricted, also Wright Park is just across the street so it's a good place to stop by.

The Mansion is a famous spot in the city and is the official summer palace of the President of the Philippines. It is located across Wright Park. Expect a crowd upon your visit so just look for a good angle to strike a pose. There's nothing much you can do here except for taking photos.

Official summer residence of the president of the country. Accessibility is only at the gate entrance but still worth visiting. Just right across Wright Park.

Perfect place for a breather. The attraction is walking distance from the golf park and the horses if you fancy horseback riding. Street food vendors are back as well. You can book a grab car or taxi from here as well.

Although we didn’t have the chance to come inside, we were still able to appreciate the architecture of the building and the beautiful landscaped garden of The Mansion from outside the gate.

Went here during the weekend - Sunday. It was packed with people thus getting a photo with that huge gate is really impossible. Still worth the exprience!

A must see place for anyone who wants to visit Baguio tourist spots. Pine trees are everywhere. Perfect place to walk, jog, and just be one with nature. No entrance fee. Perfect place for pets. Thumbs up!❤️

A sight to behold. It has a very spacious indoor area. Guarded by armies, we were allowed to enter a few meters from the gate and had our pictures taken. We were allowed to go inside for less than 5 minutes. It kinda reminds me of the Windsor Castle.

Great place to take photos. A must see when you go to Baguio. It is also accessible and has great shops nearby.

This is the Official summer palace of the President of the Philippines. Gated and guarded, rarely tourists are allowed to come in and get a closer look at some spots of the Mansion, but that rarely happens. This place is swamped with tourists so it is better to visit in an early hours to avoid the crowd.

Not so special. Just taking pictures outside the premises. No outsiders allowed inside.

A historical place. This mansion is the rest house of the president when he is in Baguio City.

Nothing really much. But it's nice to see this histroical mansion in person. People also flock but you will have your turn where you can get your pic taken. How I wish they'd open even just the ground to tourists to get people close to the real thing.

Reconstruction of traditional huts and showcasing Baguio arts/history. Nice and short hike trail especially for young people to get them starting, or a couple looking for fun time out. Some stairs or walkways missing handrails though.

We went here having relatively no idea what we would find. The entrance fee was fairly cheap at P60 per adult. It's basically a cultural attraction where you can see traditional igorot huts and watch igorot dances. We went during a holiday so there were many tourist. Don't go on holidays. As for the cultural show of the native dances, they were entertaining for a while but I wish they actually explained the meaning of these dances more thoroughly or maybe had brochures or any form of written information about them and the history of the place. This place is also not recommended if you have elderly or disabled persons with you because the stone steps are steep and can be slippery. The greenery is great, though. It's a nice place to stop and enjoy nature as long as it's not crowded. Overall, I wish they could improve on how they showcase the cultural aspects of the site. Maybe have some guides too.

Been here before and it was not exactly what I remembered. I remembered more art pieces back then. More sculptures and huts. Also don't bring a stroller here you won't be able to use it. It will just be an added weight. It's a hike going here so be ready.

If the culture or living conditions of people from this area are unknown to you, this place is a must place to visit..it is rather small but it showcases thr houses, terrain..additionally for me very tasty food in the cafe, well worth the price you pay....

I hope they should maintain this place especially the hiking part. It is slippery when we went there. On the top part there's only a bench. They should inovate and be more creative.

Hope to visit again! I enjoyed the greenery here and also the cultural dances. Parking: Few slots for cars. If you have an option to commute, it would be better. Entrance fee: P60 Not PWD friendly, lots of stairs, expect a leg workout.

One of the best tourist spot in Baguio! The place is kinda far from the city but super worth it. Though it's not kid and senior friendly because the stairs are too steep. The place is still perfect if you want to learn about Ifugaos.

If you're into nature tripping, this is the place for you to explore. Though, one has to be ready to take the challenge in climbing lots of stairs. Entrance fee is discounted for students and seniors and paid upon registration. There's a hut selling souvenirs, another hut if you want to have a sketch of yourself, another hut where you can have a tattoo. Lots of things to explore and do. But for seniors, take note to visit when its summer cause the stones and steps are slippery and not senior friendly. There's also a gallery featuring paintings of local talents.

We arrived on a random Saturday and didn't need to wait at all to enter. Tickets were relatively cheap at 60 pesos each. However, to fully enjoy the experience, be prepared for a steep hike up the mountain. The most dangerous part of the hike had no rails to hold on to, and there were no clear guides pointing the way. Additionally, bring an umbrella as rain will keep you on the trail and will have you working slower through the path. As a sidenote, the way up was infinitely more enjoyable than the way (slide) down. Overall, if you are energetic, physically prepared, and dressed for the hike, go for it. Otherwise, I'd recommend going up the first few sets of stairs and promptly going down and eating some of the strawberry ice cream instead.

If you are looking for a place that is really sorrounded by nature, this is a good place to visit. The entrance fee is 60php per person. But for older people it is not recommended because you will have to climb a lot of stairs. But it is very nice to be there and explore the Garden in the Sky. You can also see some traditional dance.

10/10 experience even if it was rainy. Loved the local art. The preservation of tradition, culture, and how people used to live back in the day. Also ate in the cafe. The food was soooo good. Kahit malamok. Lol

Get to know the culture of the Cordillerans in this place. It's best to visit when there were performers dancing the tribal dances of Cordillera. If you have hiking energy, you can climb the top view and see the mountain top view of the place.

It has great art collection. That was the most significant thing i found. I just wished that the houses were preserved. There were a lot of the house who are not as good and modernized. They could definitely improve it. History is also very essential.

Awesome experience. Enjoy the mini-hiking while exploring the whole village. For the management, I recommend having a few signs especially on the upper part of the map. It will allow the visitor to navigate easily. For the existing map around the area, you can also try to put "You are here" signs.

Get to know the culture of cordillera first hand. They have authentic huts from Sagada & Kalinga and also have cultural activities that you get to enjoy while you eat and drink at their local cafe. This place also exhibits artworks form local artists and crafts which are very nice and affordable

It’s a good thing to see when visiting. It’s a nice trail for those who aren’t use to hiking. Just be cautious cause some of the trails are a little difficult. Great place to avoid the crowds (note I was here on a weekday) bring comfortable clothes for hiking.

A small hiking adventure with great nature ambience. If you have visited igorot Stone Kingdom add this to your next stop. A small walk from igorot stone kingdom. You will be relaxed with the nature ambience. Very peaceful.

Trail hiking was scary, but not only because of the height. The trail was not too well maintained. Loose steps and rickety handrails. Would be challenging for families with overactive "pasaway" kids who love to explore on their own.

Ticket price is 60₱/person. It’s cheap and great view. Having some activities like dancing local music and performances on special time. I have good day in Here

One of the best gardens I visited. This place is Eden-like cozy version. If you are dreaming of going to Denmark or Amsterdam or any European countries but on a very tight budget, this is a good alternative. The place is clean, the flowers are beautiful. The ambiance of the place is relaxing. There are food stalls too where you can just sit, eat, relax, stroll and repeat. This is also a good place to propose!

The garden showcases a rich variety of plant species, inviting visitors to explore its lush pathways and admire the vibrant colors of nature. With themed areas highlighting different plants and cultural elements, it offers a blend of botanical beauty and cultural significance. While some areas could benefit from further maintenance, the garden overall provides a peaceful retreat and a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a connection with the outdoors.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Baguio Botanical Garden, and it was a delightful experience overall. Here's a review of the pros and cons based on my visit: Pros of Baguio Botanical Garden: Variety of Flora: The garden is home to a diverse collection of plants and trees, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the region. It's a great place for nature enthusiasts and botany lovers. Cultural Experience: Baguio Botanical Garden also features indigenous huts and sculptures that represent the Cordillera region's cultural heritage. It provides a unique blend of natural and cultural attractions. Educational: The garden offers informational signs and guides who can provide insights into the different plant species and their significance, making it an educational experience for visitors. Photography Opportunities: The picturesque landscape and colorful flowers make it a fantastic spot for photography. You can capture some stunning shots amid the lush greenery. Cons of Baguio Botanical Garden: Maintenance: During my visit, I noticed that some areas of the garden seemed a bit neglected, with overgrown vegetation and worn-out huts. It could benefit from more consistent maintenance. Crowds: Baguio Botanical Garden can get quite crowded, especially during weekends and holidays, which can make it challenging to explore and enjoy the serenity of the place. Limited Amenities: The garden lacks amenities like restrooms and dining options. Visitors should be prepared with essentials like water and snacks. Pushy Vendors: Some souvenir vendors near the entrance can be a bit pushy, trying to sell their products aggressively, which can be off-putting for some visitors. In summary, Baguio Botanical Garden offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. It's a great place to connect with nature and learn about the local flora and culture. However, it could benefit from improved maintenance and crowd management, and visitors should be prepared for a rustic experience with limited amenities.

Entrance is 100 pesos if you're not from Baguio This place is magical. We went in the morning and on a weekday so there were not many people. We plan on coming back and experiencing the night view of this place since there are lots of lights strewn about the entire area. It is big and you probably need 2 hours to explore the entire place. The best parts were literally why it is called the Botanical Garden. The flowers and plants are so beautiful, well maintained and lovely to take pictures of. I almost maxed out my phone memory because every flower I come across I would want to take a photo of. Great experience. 10/10.

Newly improved botanical garden. With improved ambiance. When you want to shoot or pictorial you need a permit @ the entrance. Don not worry for your safety there are guards roaming around. Also restrooms are within the vicinity, you need to pay for maintenance aside from the entrance fee. Enjoy the view!

Marvel at the best landscape architectural project I have ever seen. Don't be fooled by it's name this isn't your typical plant based attraction. This place will be very hard to explain in words so it is best if you see it in personal. It has different cultural gardens. It has a great play with elevation. It has tunnels it has great paid comfort room that brings you deep inside the rain forest. But most importantly, it has a coffee shop situated perfectly to feast your eyes with a view.

Renovations are impressive! It's a completely different garden now. What I impressed the most is the layout. It's clever to have the souvenir shops and a cafeteria by the exit that is also near to the entrance

I've been to the Botanical Garden in Baguio multiple times, and I must admit, it never fails to amaze me. Each visit unveils new selfie spots and unique features in the area. What's great is that there's easy access to a comfort room for everyone, as well as a convenient food store and souvenir shop on site.

Went there early in the morning.. Not many people yet.. So we got the place very quiet.. Paid 100 per adult.. Residents, seniors and children have discounts.. Parking is 35 pesos for the first 2 hours and our car is Vios. The garden is very nice and colorful.. At this month, lots of flowers bloom and the weather was perfect

Simply amazing. The place offers a lot to see. It's great for different kinds of people looking for different things, Whether it's a peaceful walk to see different kinds of plants, exploring a Japanese tunnel, or having a picnic, the place has you covered.

Last went here in 2014 and just got back in 2022. Now, it is even more improved and prettier. It is worth the P10.00 entrance fee. It is low because it is owned by the government of Baguio City. Although it used to be free, 10.00 is not painful at all because it needs little help in budget to improve the place. It is a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city, and it is not crowded unlike other parks in Baguio. We were able to sit down and appreciate the plants and flowers. It is beautiful.

Love this place. Family-friendly and a good place to stroll around with different phases in every corner. They feature cross-cultural landmarks and flowers here and there... and a chance to wear tribal clothes. It's a nice place to bring the kids and even the oldies :)

I great place to visit! Pay a fair price of fee to preserve the beautiful plants in the area. Walk and take pictures 'til your hearts content, then visit the tunnel if you dare. Clean and very refreshing! Follow the rules and regulations, and you'll find yourself enjoying and appreciating the place even more! 🇵🇭❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊👍

The Botanical Garden offers numerous activities to enjoy, and there's one particular recommendation I would like to highlight: it's important to avoid wearing slippery shoes, especially after rainfall. The pathways can become quite slippery, so it's essential to choose appropriate footwear to ensure your safety. Aside from that, the garden itself is truly beautiful, particularly during the mid-afternoon hours.

The recently refurbished botanical garden offers a captivating and vibrant display of flower gardens that are a visual treat, even in the rain. We truly appreciated the enchanting hues and lush flora despite the bad weather when we visited. This garden also provides a delightful experience with its on-site cafés and mini restaurants, allowing guests to enjoy refreshments while taking in the natural beauty. The entrance fee is budget-friendly, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors.

We had fun time visiting the botanical garden of Baguio City. We reached the place at 10am estimated. The entrance was quite crowded and took us almost 10 minutes or so before we've got to enter the place. It is a very great garden that showcases a lot of picture worthy spots (a lot of mini-size version of popular infrastructure from different countries). It also have a tunnel that you can explore but we didn't proceed further because there is no tourist guide that could guide us back if ever we could not figure out how to get back to the tunnel's entrance. The whole place feels like a park. Still a great place to visit. Also, if ever you're planning to buy souvenirs, there's also a souvenir shop you could visit.

Probably one of the best places to visit in Baguio City. The place was beautiful and maintained well. There are neat comfort rooms, and good restaurants nearby; there are cafes in the garden, too, so you can enjoy the breeze while sipping. Just an obvious advice, though: go there earlier, around 4PM, so you can enjoy the place without having to deal with crowds. Also, go there on a weekday.

Great place to visit. As a couple we had lot of pictures. Well maintained place. There was a green house with variety of ornamental plants... worth visiting.

The flowers dried up because of El Niño, but that doesn't make it okay to jack up the entrance fee from 10 pesos to 100 pesos for tourists. I just want more pine trees for shade since the blazing summer heat makes visiting less chill. And I hope the fee hike actually helps spruce up the place, turning it back into a cool botanical garden instead of just a regular park.

Very beautiful gardens with lots of colourful flowers. There's Filipino-Chinese garden as well and they're selling herbs there for P50 per pot. Entrance fee is P100 for tourists and P50 for Baguio residents.

I have visited this place several times since I was a kid. But I enjoyed my recent visit because there are LED lights for butterflies and flowers showing the metamorphosis of butterflies. Children and kids at heart will surely enjoy this place. There is an entrance fee of 100 for adults. They offer discounted price for Baguio residents.

Beautiful and lots of flowers. We liked the cactus area and the butterfly area when it lit. Line for admission is short coz it is not a holiday. We went on a weekday. Last December 2022 when we were in Baguio, we cannot go inside because the lines where too long. And they admit 1-2hrs after

Baguio Botanical Garden is one of the tourist attractions in Baguio. The entrance fee is 100 pesos for those who are not living in Baguio while 50 pesos for those living in Baguio. They also provide discounts for seniors/pwd and students. They have different gardens inside like a friendship garden with a Chinese community, a friendship garden with Koreans and other communities. They have different varieties of flowers and plants that you can take photos of.

Better to come in the afternoon and wait for the display lights around 5-6pm. There are coffee shops, plants for sale, benches and clean pay restrooms. More food shops in the Botanical Garden Souvenir Shops, right below the small parking area.

You can definitely feel the security within the area. Although you can see some residents and children freely walking around the vicinity. You should definitely visit this place ❤️. The academy traces its roots to 1898, when Emilio Aguinaldo decreed the establishment of the Academia Militar in the Philippines. The present academy serves as a national historical landmark for historic contribution and its “long and unending line of quality military education.” The campus is a popular tourist destination in Baguio.

Still the best place for kids and kids at heart. Be there early in the morning to enjoy the whole place since it is only open for public until 12 noon. You can also watch the cadets as they do their daily chores. Don't forget to drop by at the souvenir shops if you want to bring home PMA items.

As of 01/01/22 there’s not much to do but when you visit make sure you wear shoes (in our case we were asked to present Swab testing result to get inside)

A place where both adults and kids will enjoy.

Our LGU Mayor in Pandi Bulacan sponsored our trip to Baguio City, where we visited many beautiful sites. We are provided with a municipal vehicle that brought us first in PMA grounds. We saw many old machineries such as tanks, helicopters, and fighter jets displayed along the main entrance. We visited some offices and also had the opportunity to witness PMA cadets doing their training's. Mingled with some soldiers and exchanged pleasantries with them. It is such a lovely and unforgettable experience. I remembered when I was younger, there was an eatery just outside the gates of PMA who served delicious yet affordable grilled chicken with Kikoman, lime, and with lots of chili's as sauce. I missed that eatery so much.

One of the most important place in Baguio? It should be the Philippine Military Academy. It is the main military academy for Filipinos who are aspiring to be military officer of Armed Forces of the Philippines. Aside from that, this place is one of the tourist spot and must visit when you are in Baguio. Discover the place and its history.

One of my favorite places in Baguio. It’s far from the City proper but it’s worth it. There’s so much history. I like the area where the old war tanks, helicopters and airplanes were displayed. There’s a museum, soldiers marching and we even watched their formation at the Grand stage. We ate our packed lunch at a shed along the road among the pine trees and using it was free of charge. I so love this place!

The whole place was super clean. Although the restrooms need improvement.

The Philippine Military Academy area in Baguio City is a tranquil place to visit as a tourist. One can really enjoy the peaceful athmosphere, enjoy the sceneries, breath the fresh mountain air & the special scent of pine trees. Really worthwhile to visit in Baguio.

Lots of great memories. Most beautiful campus for learning in the Philippines.

Went for a visit, don't know anything about the Academy. The area is really big. Just took a jeepney to the front gate and got exhausted walking all the way to the Academy proper, not an easy feat I tell you. The place is really great, makes the walking worth it.

Baguio Cathedral is located nearby shops in the city so it is so accessible to go anywhere after church. It has many people on holidays and weekends.

i like the interior design and the exterior is quite clean and well maintained. but quite small for a big city. The view is so nice

Very beautiful cathedral on top of a hill. The place is well maintained. On Sundays, there is a holy mass every hour in Ilocano, Tagalog, and English

The Baguio Cathedral is right at the center of the city. You can reach it via taxi, Grab or just follow google while driving. Parking spaces are available but you will be charged per hour. There is a ticket upon entering and they’ll charge you at the exit. There is also a food court but it was closed during our visit. Restrooms have minimal charge but are clean. When we got there, we were lucky to have heard mass and see and touch the Black Nazarene visiting Baguio.

A peaceful place to be at night. Walk from session through the stairs. Before going up, stop by at the Mylk Tea store

Our first destination upon arriving in Baguio. They have mass every 30 mins and we were able to hear the 6 am to 6:30am mass. If you are using public transport, this is less than a kilometer walk from the terminal. If you have own transport, parking is available. The comfort room is open to the public so you don't have to look anywhere else too.

It was smaller than I expected. But it is a beautiful church that is one of the must visit churches when visiting Baguio. We passed by at night which gave a different view of the church highlighting it's beauty.

One of the famous and historical landmarks in baguio. Located @ the heart of Baguio City. A very solemn and peaceful ambiance. A must visit specially for Roman Catholic.

The iconic church in Baguio City is just located above the busy street of Session Road. Parking space is available just be considerate enough to not park for more than an hour. Parking is only for 10 pesos but it is only if you are going to mass. Please make sure to leave with your car after the mass or else you will be fined for a significant amount. Every Sunday there is a mass from 6 am to 6 pm.

8/19/23 Beautiful church. Haven't gone outside since there's an ongoing mass. But the exterior and design is beautiful

VISITED LAST DEC 24, 2022, MISA DE GALLO BEAUTIFUL CHURCH. That time there were so many Christmas lights and decorations, and you can really feel the christmas vibes! It was very crowded but the mass was beautiful. There was a reenactment of the birth of Jesus, done by a youth group. Traffic & parking situation was very crowded. Better if may hatid sundo. Not sure if taxi is accessible at that time.

Quick review: Place is constantly being altered especially the exterios. Cathedral must attain its landmark or style already. Everything else, looks fine (4/5)

The atmosphere is very holy. I love the structure. Mixed modern and classic. The interior is so new and neat. Location is very accessible since it’s in the center of Baguio City.

I don't really go to church to pray or attend a mass, I was just there to check out the interior and how well it was built. This one in Baguio seems ok, sturdy and well ventilated, great ceiling, so I think it's safe for church-goers to be here and be all spiritual and righteous. Hope they pick up after themselves, and remember that cleanliness is next to godliness.. or however Catholics or Christians would say it.

One of the most famous cathedral in baguio and is one of the tourist spots. Situated near session road wc brings in a flock of tourist around the area. Check out their facebook page for the schedules for the Holy Mass.

Beautiful even when it was @ night! Didn’t get a chance to see the inside as there was vehicle coding day of visit. Hubby’s childhood location. Awesome experience.

As a church goer, this place is extremely quiet and peaceful. The mass is very solemn and the people attending are very respectful.

A solemn place, as what was expected from all the other churches in the country. But in fairness, even on a regular day, they open early which sounds very good for the tourists.

Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral is a beautiful and spiritually significant place to visit in Baguio, with stunning architecture and a serene atmosphere. However, travelers should be prepared for potential crowds and limited amenities and consider the weather when planning their visit.

Our visit to Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in Baguio was memorable. The site offers a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those looking for a place of reflection and prayer. The climb to the top of the grotto is a bit steep, but it's well worth the effort. There are several areas where people may pause while on the trek upwards. Candles can also be bought and lit for prayers and offerings.

Another place that you should not miss when you take your trip to the summer capital city. Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto will nkt only fill your eyes full with the scenery but also connects your spirits to our Creator. Make sure to be ready to take the steps to reach the top. Aside visiting the shrine you can definitely spend your time in Mirador Eco park which is at the side of the hill.

For devotees of Our Lady of Lourdes, this is a must visit. Prepare to climb the stairs up to the grotto. There is an accessibility ramp where cars can go up and park at the highest point so no worries for seniors and PWDs. There are signages that restrict visitors bringing pets, so consider yourselves warned. A lot of stray cats on the stairs though. A lot of gardens act as ststions of rest as you climb the grotto. Fantastic view of Baguio and the mountains. Lots of flowers depending on season. I went there this April so flowers are still in bloom. Candles are available at the grotto on top through the honesty boxes. But be advised they quickly run out depending on the nunber of visitors. On the other hand there are people selling candles and flowers at the foot of the stairs, but quite pricey if you ask me. Lots of canteens and stores along the streets going to the grotto.

If you're a Catholic, you may find this place interesting. I don't belong to any organized religion, thus it's not my cup of tea to climb up the stairs. A few snaps of photo from my dashboard was enough.

You must be ready to hike hundreds of steps to get to the top. There are vendors where you can buy a drink or two, as well as candles which you can lit up for well wishes once you are there.

Long stairs ahead. Atmosphere was clear and good. No entrance fee and free to pray po. The other side is the Mirador Dominican Hill.

Very lovely place and the chapel was so beautiful.

No tickets for this place. It’s a church for 200+ steps I think? Went here to pray for everything that’s going on in my life. I’m very grateful to visit this place. That’s all.

Catholic shrine that sits on Mirador Hill in Baguio City. It was constructed in 1913 mainly out of limestone that was used to build the Mirador Jesuite you will have to climb up a stairway made up of around 252 steps which took five years to complete.

Nice place to visit, no need to pay an extra 100 if you've already paid at Mirador's gate. It is a quiet place to pray and meditate. Entrance fee:100

The concrete stairs from the foothill leading up to the Grotto is a challenge for the young at heart. A landing is provided every now and then as respite for picture taking and to rest. The trek upstairs is a good bonding moment when taken with the family. There is an access road for cars leading up to the Grotto. It is a big help for the elderly who only have to muster a dozen more steps to reach the Shrine.

Because of the tight schedule we didn’t take the steps instead we were dropped off just nearby the upoer side of grotto.. peaceful and quiet place to reflect and give thanks to all the blessings you recieve

You have 2 options to see Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto: first by taking the stairs and the other drive up by car. There are parking lots from other establishments and the start of the stairs and we simply asked for permission if we can park in for a period of time. We did not know the entrance or way to the vehicle option, hence we went through the stairs. It was more or less 250 steps but felt like more. There are quick stops where you can take a rest and appreciate the angel structures. At the top is the huge grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, a candle offering area and a small chapel where you can sit, reflect, pray and listen to nature. We took the staircase back down to our car and grabbed some strawberry ice cream. The place is clean and with a clean restroom as well.

The best view so far of all the mountains I've climb. It was a perfect weather when we went there, no rain and there was sea of clouds. We used the beginners trail since we were traveling from province, the trail was easy. It was so cold on top but not much when walking. I had to remove my multiple clothing while hiking. Better bring extra shirt as it gets colder on top since wet from sweating.

I finally hiked Mt. Pulag last March 17, 2024. It was my ninth mountain so far, and this is one of the reasons why I began hiking. It's true that Mt. Pulag is incredibly beautiful in person. The feeling of witnessing the sunrise while feeling the cold simultaneously is truly unique. It's a surreal experience. I plan to hike it again, probably next year in January 2024, but this time via the Akiki trail.

Still closed for tourists as of now but will open soon. Visited Mt. Pulag National Park few days ago to attend the 21km Mt. Pulag Trail run by Philtra. The 12km and 21km trail race is part of the Altitude OCR World Series-Asia presented by the Philippine Sports Commission and organized by the Pilipinas Obstacle Sports Federation. First stepped on the playground of the gods year 2017, a 12-hour dayhike via Akiki-Ambangeg trail. A year after, visited the mountain again by joining Pulag 100km trail race from Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya passing through various towns (dirt roads, trails, mountains) going to Mt. Pulag and back to Kayapa. Now, after four years, I get to experience the wonderful feeling of racing in Pulag again. God blessed us with a wonderful weather during the race day. We had a beautiful clearing and sea of clouds. Mount Pulag is Luzon's highest peak at 2,928 metres above sea level, third-highest mountain in the Philippines, and the 26th-highest peak of an island on Earth. It is second-most prominent mountain in the Philippines, it is a dormant volcano. Wikipedia

Total of 10 hours of hiking going back and forth, easiest trail for beginners. We started walking at 1:00 AM and went back down at around 12:30 ish noon. Trail was easy to medium difficulty, expect that it will be steeper as you go. You will go through the mossy forest and grassland before reaching the summit. There's a comfort room in the middle of the hike but it's just a room with a hole in it. Wear light winter clothes and use lip balms and moisturizer. It's around 3°C - 8°C up there. Check out the view.

My second major hike of the Philippines mountain.. it's cold here during cold seasons. Very nice and interesting landscape. It's nice inside mossy forest. I'll love to comeback other trial next time

The place is very enchanting. The witnessing of the morn early sunlight, will forever burn into my inner heart's memories.

My first major hike and it was awesome 🤩 Ambangeg Trail (post-pandemic hike). We left Manila on Saturday at 11pm and reached Benguet around 5am. We had breakfast while waiting for the local doctor to check us up and issue a medical clearance, as ever required. We paid 150 pesos per person. We checked in at the DENR office. An orientation is also required before we are allowed to proceed to the ranger station. The office opens at 8 am. We had to return to the office after the hike to checkout and make sure everyone is still alive 😂 Hiking to Camp 2 took us four hours. And another 1.5 hours from Camp 2 to the summit. As much as possible, empty your colons before hiking. The restrooms at the camp are terrible 🤮🤮🤮. Must bring: - Trail food - Water bladder (you can refill with fresh spring water along the hike) - Tent. You can bring your own or rent one out at the ranger station for 400 pesos. Beach tents are NOT advisable. - 3 to 4 layers of jacket, bonnet, gloves. - Nice camera! - Tissue and wet wipes!!! - Plastic bags for your trash. Bring your trash with you when you leave, please. - Flashlights or headlights - Powerbanks You can hire a porter. We paid 1,150 for 15kg. They’ll take your stuff to the camp and fetch you the following day.

We started the trek at 1am. Ideally, you have to spend a night in the summit or where there's a flat place. We spent 12 & a half hours hiking to the summit & back to our homestay. It's a very good experience. Wear your very trusted hiking boots. Get Ryan! He's a very good hike guide & he can repair destroyed boots even while you're on the trek! We stayed at Me An homestay. Hot Meal is php 150 per. Owner & staff are very accommodating!

We took the ambangeng trail going to mount Pulag.. luckily on that day, there was a clearing and it did not rain. Going up to the mountain has different elevations which causes different species of plants to be seen.. first one is the pine trees, then you will see the mossy forest or the rain forest. Then you will see small bamboo trees. Lastly, the grassland. Then the summit of mount Pulag. We hiked starting at 1 am. We reached the summit at 5 am. So going up and down would take 8 hours but it can also take longer or shorter depending on your speed, strength and endurance. P.S - there are many trails. The trail we took is said to be the easiest trail but it was tiring. Akiki trail takes about 10-12 hours.

I will always love to come home to witness this majestic view. Mt. Pulag via Ambangeg trail is advisable for beginners but still need preparation prior to the hike. Keep your body warm as the temperature may drop during midnight. Secure your reservation at DENR office. Bring your own medical certificate, strictly no medical certificate, no hike. Camping in campsite 2 is not allowed on weekends.

Nature has always had a captivating allure, and for those seeking to immerse themselves in its breathtaking beauty, Mt. Pulag stands as a magnificent testament to the wonders of the natural world. Located in the Cordillera mountain range of the Philippines, this majestic peak offers a truly extraordinary experience for adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and wanderers alike. With its pristine landscapes, awe-inspiring vistas, and unique ecological features, Mt. Pulag promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature's grandeur.

its amazing how God created such an amazing and wonderful view, i really enjoy it

This is my imaginary place I draw when I was grade 1 and Im so very happy for visiting this place. The mountains , clouds , plants , river , animals , hanging bridge, and the sounds of river , Very relaxing so it's far away but worth going for site scenery. I'm in loved with this place I shall buy lot and build house here someday or maybe I can marry here hahaha 😂 joke only ,thats all peace out.

Went last April 23, 2023 as a joiner and the experience was worth the hike. Just have your own phase in climbing to avoid any injury. Stay hydrated the day before the climb. If you are looking for a group to join which does hiking I recommend "Lakbay Oragon Adventures". You can look them up via Facebook.

Major or minor hike as experts would debate, the experience of being there is surreal. SURREAL! They call it the "Playground of the Gods" and true to its beauty, only dieties are worthy to play its grounds. Mt Pulag's beauty is something worth seeing! Via Ambangeg trail is 4 to 5 hours of hike up to the summit and another on your descent depending on pacing. We started the trek at 1am to be able to see the beautiful sunrise! Up the summit was naughty foggy so we didn't see the more beautiful sea of clouds. Peak 2, though, showed us a very wonderful sight! It is an experience worth sharing! See pics for Mt. Pulag's majestic beauty!

Philippine bazaar market at its best. I mean when you want a merchandise you have 50 little merchants who want your business. This place is old but its character is pleasing. Every ones very nice. Haggling is encouraged.

Place is clean and well-maintained. With good police visibility, which was good as you feel secured. Vendors are organized and helpful. This is place is nostalgic, nothing much had changed since I last went here years ago.

Tip: buy your vegetables at the Hanger market section. Much cheaper inside at the back. You can also get your coffee at Umali or Garcia's.

If you're going to buy a pasalubong from Baguio, I recommend buying them here because they're sold at a cheaper price and there are many shops where you can buy things like Baguio delicacies and souvenirs.

Their market is very clean ✨ except that there are sellers of strawberries who gave us old stocks of strawberries and not the one that they displayed. It's like a false advertisement. But all in all, the experience was great.

The market was clean and well maintained. Kudos to the people. Many shops and businesses. Pasalubong area are also here. If you want to save much, then buy here. It’s a walking distance from session road.

Always visit the market for vegetables and pasalubong shopping. Bring your own tote bag. Ask around for the best price, you will always find the lowest price towards the middle of the market.

You can buy a lot of pasalubong here. wish I could carry everything 🤣 "walis" veggies" fruits" Everything is in here, Baguio specialty's, you can also find import products here, too many to mention.

One can find fresh vegetables, fruits and food products for affordable prices here. There is also a fish and meat market, but the smell was repelling. Variety of coffee choices for coffee lovers. The roof looks like improvisation to me, so I'm not sure how much it protects from the rain.

‼️HIGHLY RECOMMENDED‼️ The famous Baguio City Market has everything!!!! Drop by on your last day of visit and make sure to bring a large bag or bayong (or you can buy there) because of its really low prices and assorted merchandise from fruits and vegetables, to native merchandise.

I’ve never been fond of the market but I always look forward to exploring Baguio City Market. Vegetables and fruits are always fresh. Vendors themselves would offer items at a lower price. Strawberries marked at P200 would be given at P180. Souvenirs are plenty to choose from and at a good bargain! 12 pieces key chains for only P100!

if you want pasalubong like fresh veggies for a cheap price you'll find it here.

The market was packed with people. It’s mainly clothes, used and new. Not many varieties of food vendors. The same dish repeated in different stole. But it was a nice to experience it

An awesome place to buy everything you need for the kitchen cuisine food and you can find it freshly delivered from the farm and you will be amaze of their very low prices compare to other cities.You will surely have time doing your marketing Day or Night.

Baguio City of Benguet Province is such a beautiful place with many stunning spots and beautiful sceneries that you can enjoy your vacation and stay in the city. You can explore your favorite spots with unlimited days and night on your vacation. So, try to visit Baguio, explore Baguio & feel Baguio City. 🤩🥰😍

I wasn’t sure that I really wanted to visit this location. But it is worth the visit. This is a beautiful Temple that still offers a place to come and pray. I can’t begin to imagine the number of people that visited here to pray. The grounds are amazing, quiet and very well preserved. There is a view point that allows you to see the surrounding area, if your willing to do stairs. They invite you to bring your camera’s, but not inside the Temple.

Few minutes away from the City proper and no large parking space but definitely a must visit. The place has instagrammable spots and swamped with tourists as well.

Must-visit destination for those interested in exploring religious diversity, appreciating cultural heritage, and enjoying the tranquility of its surroundings. Instagrammable place indeed! 🤍

Before you reach the Taoist Temple agte, you'll pass thru the street with shops, you will notice that the Taoist walls were not taken care of. On the temple itself, it's fully renovated, newly painted, and newly trimmed landscape. The view from the lower ground is perfect to take photos of the gazebos with statues. Elders would have difficulty climbing up the ladder since it's stiff. They may just stay at the temple.

Bell church is a beautiful place of worship. The structures of the buildings are of classic Chinese architecture. There is an intricately landscaped garden going up the hill. If you want solitude and a place where there are less crowd of people around, then you would love to pay the Bell Church a visit.

Overlooking the colorful houses. Picturesque Views. Be prepared to hike a bit on the stairs. Basically a Chinese temple with a huge bell. Lots of places to take pictures.

Bell Church is a Buddhist Temple. This place is one of the tourist destination of La Trinidad. Open minded people like me will enjoy here. Aside from the beautiful scenery which will welcome you upon entering this place, you will be amazed of the persons personality inside the church of you are not shy to talk to him. You will gain more knowledge about their religion if you are willing to learn. The key is to ask, then you will find the answer.

Picturesque place. The panoramic view of the surroundings from the top is peaceful and serene. Seeing a church in the conventional Chinese style is quite an experience. The site only had a few visitors when I visited guess it has to do with the timing of my visit. A typical itinerary if travelling from Baguio would be Bell Church-->Valley of Colors-->Strawberry Farm. Add this to your Baguio travel list if your travel plan exceeds 2 days.

Before it used to be free .. but now there is a 20 pesos entrance free ... Still a reasonable price... It's a Buddhist church with a garden... It's a good place to go take a walk .. or you can also pray here if you share the same religion ...

It was an enlightening experience. The intricate architecture and ornate decorations were visually captivating, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of the Chinese-Filipino community. The serene surroundings and well-maintained gardens added to the overall tranquility of the place. While the experience was informative, some visitors might find the limited guided information a slight drawback. Nevertheless, the Bell Church remains a must-visit for those interested in cultural diversity and religious heritage. PS. You can pass by this tourist spot, on your way to the Valley of Colors and Strawberry Farm 🍓

It was a very short trip to Baguio and I chanced upon this temple on my way to La Trinidad. I have been to Baguio several times but I haven't visited this place. It is located just before the La Trinidad Arch. The temple is built on a hillside and the view from the top is beautiful. There is a parking lot at the base of the temple with a parking fee of Php 20. Entrance fee per person is also Php 20. You can include this in your sightseeing if you're on your way to the Strawberry Farm.

Bell Church in La Trinidad is a cultural gem, blending Chinese and Filipino influences seamlessly. Intricately designed temples adorned with vibrant colors and symbolic details create a visually stunning experience. The serene surroundings, complemented by the harmonious sound of bells, make it a captivating destination that offers both cultural enrichment and a peaceful retreat.

A peaceful place for a quick stopover before Valley of Colors and Strawberry Farm. There's an entrance fee of ₱20.00, parking is also available— just not sure if they have a fee for it. We went there on a weekend around 1PM and spent 30 minutes roaming around the area. Quick exercise on climbing the stairs up to the bell.

I like the atmosphere of this place. It's calm and serene and most of all, clean and managed.

This place is a aesthetically pleasing for people who have brave hearts. Well, I mean, you know the history. The air near the hotel is somewhat heavy for me and my other friends. But the place as I said is beautiful. I just hope their souls rest in peace and don't mind the visitors🙃🙂🤞

Been here twice this year and every visit was great. The architecture is beautiful and well-preserved, with stunning views of the city and surrounding mountains. The gardens and outdoor spaces are also beautiful and peaceful. However, the hotel’s eerie and haunted reputation might not be for everyone. I would recommend visiting The Diplomat Hotel at night and be prepared for a spooky but unforgettable experience 😱😬😳

Perfect place to visit if you are passionate into ghost hunting — given the building’s storied past. However, for the normal person, I feel this is overhyped by the spooky stories you hear from social media. It’s nothing more than just an old abandoned building, and you couldnt go inside even. Not to mention the very difficult drive going to the area. I have to give it to them though, they have a nice and lovely view of the entire city. But again, this is a very hit or miss destination.

Such a cool place to visit that feels eerie but looks beautiful. It has such a quiet atmosphere and I wish there was more signs or an old museum to read the history of the place. The gardens were beautifully maintained and very clean and tidy. I’d love to go back at night time for a paranormal investigation.

The place was a bit crowded when we went in last March 20, 2022. Probably because it's the weekend and the restrictions were lifted. The place kinda gives you a creep but we find it amusing and amazing at the same time. The view is very calming as well and it's nice to take picture almost everywhere. Too bad we cannot go inside anymore not the same as 3 or 4 years ago. Overall we'd love to go back here when it's not that crowded anymore.

A must visit when you’re around Baguio. Unfortunately, tourists can’t enter the building but you can take pictures outside. It is a well preserved building in Baguio that makes it famous for its haunted stories.

Entrance fee is 10php The government should revive this place and not just a ruins. The area and overlooking view is beautiful. The structure itself looks sturdy. Enough with this “haunted” thing. Make it functional.

Wanna get spooked? Heritage Hill and Nature Park Garden is the new name, Dominican Hill Retreat House as referred to before, to me it is Diplomat Hotel. Diplomat Hotel as it is called in the many TV shows that featured this edifice will scare you for the many elements that live in it. Did we get the vibe? Make a guess. We went here on a rainy afternoon. The rain beat us badly, we got wet. Thanks to the umbrellas that we have, it didn't soak us. Approaching the place made me think twice. I am skittish, jumpy, high-strung, even neurotic sometimes despite having so many horror books I have in my room or no matter how many hundreds of thriller-horror movies I already have watched and ghostly experiences I dealt with years back. So, I almost backed out but I did not. Thanks to my friends who laughed at me. We arrived a little past 5 pm. We paid for the entrance fee and waited patiently for our turn to have our picture taken in every part outside the hotel. Yes, outside the hotel. It is in renovation these days that we can only have a glimpse of this famous structure from the outside. Should I be thankful for that? Well, I guess not very because my heart secretly wanted to get in. Anyway, we meandered in the place for the remaining daylight there is and took photos of whatever we can. We went through a path in the garden and posed many many times for the camera for a souvenir that we braved the Diplomat Hotel. Hey, we loved the pictures by the garden. Braved if you can call it that way. Hey, we loved the pictures taken by the garden. It looked like from a fairy tale land. As for the spooks? Sorry, we didn't experience such. We're outside the building. We'll just go back sometime in the future to get this vibe.

My impulsiveness has led me to this well-known haunted place in Baguio. Though it gives off an ominous vibe, as various stories about people seeing headless apparitions and hearing screams, cries, and even banging on the door at night surround its gray and washed-out red walls, the beauty of this dilapidated architecture still remains. It's kind of sad that visitors can no longer go inside and explore because of possible structural dangers.. 😭😭 But I hope the local government can do something to protect and preserve this historical landmark.

I’m a bit hesitant going to this place. Not because I’m scared, but because it feels like we are trespassing and invading the space of those who are occupying this place, whether in this world or in the other realm. It’s like disrespecting their privacy for our own amusement. Thus before entering the premises, and the whole time we were inside, I asked for their permission and apologized for the disturbance. I made a review of this place not to encourage or discourage people to go here but to encourage everyone to give respect first before entering their space and maybe offer a little prayer for the souls who are here, to find peace.

There's an entrance fee of 10, use of restroom is 7... The view is appealing from here. The building itself is sealed so you can't go inside. You can only roam outside. A short visit is more than enough.

You may notice on google maps that this place is open until 3:00 AM but unfortunately, visitors are not allowed to enter inside the hotel. You may still enjoy taking pictures and the amazing view around the hotel.

The place was not haunted at all. We were not allowed to get inside since there were I think engineers or some people inside inspecting the building. Location is not accessible with jeepney for first time visitors. Just book a grab or ride a taxi to get there quickly. Pay 10pesos entrance fee and that’s it.

This place has historical significance. There's no tour guide per se, but the security guard knows a lot about the history surrounding this place. This used to be a domicile for the Dominican priests. In 1945 however, the Japanese took this high ground as their last bastion of defense against the American soldiers. The Japanese also took Filipino hostages and tortured them here. The Americans eventually defeated the Japanese, and rescued the victims being held on this hill. The surviving Japanese were then imprisoned. In the 1970's, this Dominican priest house became a hotel. After the hotel went out of business, the City of Baguio took it over due to non-payment of property taxes. According to the security guard, the City of Baguio plans to make this building into a museum dedicated to the victims of WW2 and the priests who lived here so many years. I asked if it were haunted. The guard said he hears a child sometimes, and other times a lady. Their voices aren't clear, but he knows they are there. May they rest in peace 🕊️🙏

It's a good place to visit if you are interested in historical places and remnants of the war. But if you are a little in tune with the paranormal, then extra caution would be recommended since the energies in this place can be a little uncomfortable. Has an entrance fee of 10 pesos per head. Tourists are no longer allowed to enter the place due to its compromised structural integrity.

The Lion'S Head: One of the most iconic tourist attraction in Baguio that you shouldn't miss! It's along Kennon Road and it's a landmark when entering Baguio City! It's free for all so have fun taking a selfie or groupies with the the beautiful sculpture made of limestone.

The iconic lion's head that for so many years they can't get the color right. A must stop before going to Baguio(or after). Huge parking space now available for 20 pesos. Have your strawberry taho here.

This spot is one of the most tourist attractions that definitely make it to your bucket list.

On a Saturday it was really crowded and there was a huge traffic jam. The viewpoint on the way to Baguio is much nicer and way less crowded. The lion's head is just what it looks in the pictures. Nothing really impressive and you can take pictures from the car window or park at numerous parking areas nearby.

Not to detract from this experience, but besides the actual lion's head, nothing much else to do here. Taxied out just to snap a few pics and head back to town. It was just on my list to see again since I was 5yo last time I was here 50 years ago! Worth it since it's free, pretty cool.

The drive down is very wiggly, so be prepared to go down the mountain for a bit but you will need to turn around because unless you are going to go back to Manila. You must try the famous strawberry taho and strawberry ice cream when you come here. At this time there is a lot of people so be careful when you walk past and get yourself souvenirs here.

One of iconic tourist spots of Baguio that you shouldn't miss. During pandemic, it is recommended to strike a deal with your taxi driver to go to and fro here, coz the passing public vehicles are limited. It is not crowded during pandemic compared to before.

This is always a worthy stop-over. Everyone should pay homage to this post-modern structure for a bathroom break or a taste of that home-made strawberry ice-cream or to just take a snap of the big lion which i do all the time.

SWAMPED WITH TOURISTS! You cannot miss this gigantic figure once you enter the Kennon Road. If you're riding a private vehicle, you must stop and get few photos and eat strawberry taho as well. But if you're in a public vehicle, you cannot stop for photo op, so better took videos- just like what I did then have it screenshot if needed.

We went there almost 7PM because we were still finishing our activities in the seminar. Truly this iconic, one of the symbols of Baguio City and the rest of the mountain province is something to go to and should be included in the bucket list. It's surroundings is clean and well maintained.

Discover the iconic Lion's Head along Kennon Road, a must-see attraction with a rich history. While the Lion's Head has been repainted many times, the recent restoration closely resembles the original structure, adding to its nostalgic charm. If you can, avoid visiting on weekends, as it tends to be crowded. We arrived on a Friday morning and found the area packed with people. Previously, there were no other attractions nearby, but now, you'll find additional activities such as St. Bernard and horse encounters. This adds to the lively tourism scene in the area. Overall, the Lion's Head remains a symbol of adventure and exploration along the scenic Kennon Road. Don't miss the chance to capture a photo with this iconic landmark during your visit to Baguio!

We dropped by this iconic mark along Kennon Road on the way home from Baguio. The crowd is smaller on a Monday morning but it gets larger during the weekends. There are souvenir shops where you can purchase some goodies for last minute pasalubong. Parking is available. Has a view. It's okay. Iconic mark by the Lion's club.

One of the iconic place on our way to Baguio. There a lot of shops and street parking. If full, there is a nearby parking area

Baguio's iconic Lion's Head is a symbol of welcome and a popular stop for visitors. Towering over the landscape, it offers a fantastic photo opportunity and marks the gateway to the City of Pines. While simple in concept, its significance and picturesque setting make it a memorable part of any Baguio adventure.

Iconic destination in Baguio and a must-stop for anyone travelling here. It’s an unmissable attraction on the side of the mountain/road with plenty of little stalls offering pasalubong/souvenirs. Getting to the location can be a little slow due to traffic and people coming in/out of parking spaces but there is also a dedicated parking area past the lion and the stalls. I first visited as a child and it was so nice to come back.

Very nice big land mark to entrance to Baguio city from kennon road Lots of suverneir stalls wonderful views Parking side of road It can get very busy specially weekend

Beautiful place to visit. Not easy to park there. Lot of people to take pictures. There is some markets to buy souvenirs.
