ABOUT BAGUIO CITY
Thousands upon thousands of people ascend the sometimes treachery roads that lead to the esteemed Summer Capital of the Philippines – arguably, a place amongst the clouds, Baguio City – a place that never seems to grow old, a place that never ceases to amaze people with its evolving charms and its timeless presence.
Originally built to be a year-round getaway for ex-pat Americans who wished to experience a colder clime in the tropical heat, the place quickly became such a destination that the location had to continuously reinvent itself while still maintaining its identity. The Baguio City has since become a haven for so many people – everywhere you look, there’s something for everyone. Whether it is your bohemian soul craving for the arts, or your inner history buff looking to satisfy its desire for knowledge or your inner adventurer looking for something new to experience, Baguio has so much to offer for you.
Travel Up
The travel up to the place is an adventure in itself, passing such sights that nature endowed upon the landscape. Breathtaking terrain, jaw-dropping cliffs and ravines, and the occasional fog descending upon your means of conveyance add to the charm. Even before you set foot on the city’s limits, you feel the excitement and the vibe that seems to permeate the atmosphere. And once you get to the terminal or to your lodging house, you would surely get blasted by the vibrant sense of the city, electrifying you to your roots.

A haven for artists
Those who are artsy would find the city’s streets a haven for their passion. Visual artists would find their satisfaction touring the galleries in and around the city. Musical artists would feel the call of the arts among the various local hangouts and watering holes that dot the cityscape. The place is renowned for its charm for artists of all mediums. You certainly feel the electricity and the artistic presence cannot be denied.
Baguio City is a place for spiritual rejuvenation
Those who are inclined to a spiritual retreat and rejuvenation would find such havens among the many temples, churches, and convents that can be found in Baguio City. What’s better is that each place has a signature food souvenir that can be had. Probably the most famous are the products of the Good Shepherd Sisters whose marmalades, lenguas and ube products are, excuse the language, absolutely to die for. Communing with the Almighty can be had almost everywhere because you will get a sense of how much bounty He has bestowed upon the city and its residents.
Souvenirs [ Baguio City Tourist Spots | Travel Guide + Baguio City Hotels ]
Exciting shopping and gastronomic experiences
And of course, bargain hunters would have a grand time in its famed ukay-ukay boulevard – countless stalls offering a bargain and vintage clothing that can complete your wardrobe or simply separate you from the rest of the pack. Such wonderful finds can be had for such low and affordable prices; you wouldn’t mind the time at all. Sifting and sorting through piles and stacks of clothes and getting that absolute steal of a jacket or that one-of-a-kind pair of boots is simply quite satisfying.
Foodies will also have a good time sampling the local fare. From native local fare (whose recipes are a closely-guarded secret) to various fusion dishes, your taste buds would surely explode with such tasty delights. Add to the fact that the local diners and watering holes have their own gimmicks going on, and you would have a hard time picking where to go. You can go artsy; you can go vintage, you can go chic – the choices are endless.
Baguio City Markets
A trip to the markets of Baguio would yield a lot of souvenirs and unique products that carry the trademark vibrancy of the place. From the ubiquitous gag gifts (who can un-see the surprise of the famed Barrel Man? Or the phallic ashtrays that can be had from the handicraft stores?), to woven Ifugao masterpieces to statues and accessories that celebrate the history and culture of the Cordilleras, you would have your fill.
Time and again, the city of pines reinvents itself, adding layers upon layers to its core, enriching the offerings, strengthening the already deep connections to our national identity, making itself a testament to our resilient nature as Filipinos, cognizant of the past, but always with an eye for the present and a hankering for the promise of the future.

A visit to the place would not be complete without the requisite visit to Burnham Park – a central figure in the city’s landscape. Take a stroll along the paths and breathe the cool air, and admire the number of people admiring the sights. Take a boat and experience the lake smack in the center or test your wits against hustler chess players who seem to be everywhere in the park. Of course, the taho vendor would be calling your attention, and you would simply have to have a taste of a unique Baguio City staple – strawberry taho – with real strawberry bits, mind you – that is quite affordable and intensely satisfying.
Panagbenga Festival is one of the grandest and most colorful festivals in the country. It is held every February until the first week of March.

The Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio City is known for its Panagbenga Festival, it is an annual flower festival which happens every February. They also display the local crafts to improve its international exposure. In this digital age wherein almost everyone has their own social media accounts, attracting foreign nationals to visit the place is through social media campaigns. City officials could invite social media influencers, bloggers, and Department of Tourism Ambassador(s) to help boost the tourism of the city. Highlighting the most visited places up to the newly opened tourist attractions. The promotions will also show the rich culture and history of Baguio.
Baguio is known as the summer capital of the Philippines. Despite that our country has a tropical season, there are some places that have low temperatures because it is located at a highly elevated place. Baguio is located in one of the highest and most mountainous places in the Philippines. Aside from the temperature, Baguio City is one of the most beautiful cities in our country because of the scenery of nature there. Being there you are surrounded by a lot of tall pine trees and different stunning kinds of flowers and plants that can only survive in low-temperature areas. Additionally, Baguio is known for strawberry farms, in the streets, you could get desserts like ice cream or soybean curd that is flavored in strawberries. To attract more tourists, I encourage that the following must be observed:
• Preserve culture and way of living for the uniqueness of the place itself makes the place remarkable
• Improve and develop places in the city that can capture the heart and eyes of many tourists
• Make food that can make the cuisine of the whole city unique to other places
• Support local and Igorots to help the city be known as the home of the true Filipino
• Business to make tie-up with Bloggers, Tik Tokers, and YouTubers who influence Facebook and Instagram users who followed these influencers.
• Promote Panagbenga Festival worldwide
• Encourage Local residents to maintain the culture of being hospitable, and helpful when accommodating tourists.
The official summer capital of the Philippines is Baguio with a unique location that foreign tourists must-visit for rejuvenation, safety, and refuge, and even as a haven for many. Comparable to Tbilisi, Georgia, which has gorgeous attractions on top of mountains, the summer capital also has these. The distinctive local goods and souvenirs must be tried. Tourists shouldn't miss experiencing the renowned Camp John Hay, Philippine Military Academy, to see and meet the snappy PMA students and officials. It is recommended to see Baguio's renowned Burnham Park, the mother of all parks. Strawberry picking is a special and amazing family activity too that the visitors can do at La Trinidad, Benguet.
Baguio should have several decent four or five-star hotels developed. Along with clubs and other recreational clubs like bowling, pools, and table tennis, there should have foreign-based restaurants there. Given that the must-see location is a 6-hour bus ride from the Philippine capital city, an airport should also be built.
Baguio City is one of the famous places or tourist spots it’s like 4hrs away from manila and it will be known as the summer capital of the Philippines. And also known so many things like their strawberry farm, Burnham park, varieties of flowers and veggies they have and of course every tourist before they can see the beautiful place in Baguio city they need to book a hotel for them to stay for 2 or 3 nights or its depend on how many days they are staying in Baguio.
Hotels serve as a house or the place where the tourist go to rest at night for the whole travelling or walking around Baguio. That’s why the hotel in Baguio is really beautiful and comfortable to stay in.
Actually, I’m happy to know that some of my Singaporean friends already know about Baguio city and they already come there before and they talk all have positive feedback to me. But I still encourage them to come back again to see the development and improvement of the place.
I just hope that our government can do something to make it shorter the journey from Manila to Baguio city, so then the tourist has more time to explore the place. Maybe one day can construct a domestic airport in Baguio city in this way its more convenient to travel.
Baguio City has so much variety to showcase like their native products, delicacies, and awesome tourist spots to the tourist and also the Pilipino people.
Even though I’m from the Philippines but I haven’t been to Baguio City, it’s my dream to be there and bring along my family members to Baguio city one day. Then we are able to witness and explore how beautiful that place is.
Since our country has just started to pick up from the effect of the pandemic we need to make sure there is a safety procedure need to be followed by the tourist coming to Baguio city either foreign or local.
The local DTI need to collaborate with all the resorts and hotels in town to come up with some idea or promotions to attract tourist to come in and explore Baguio.
Like free entrance fee and a 10% discount if you stay 3 or more nights in the hotel, And 10% for dine-in. And a 5% discount on the tour guide and some of the rides.

THE BAGUIO IS THE ONE OF THE TOURIST SPOT BECAUSE BAGUIO HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE TOP DESTINATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES. BECAUSE OF IT'S CHILLY TEMPERATURE, PINE- DOMINATED LANDSCAPES, AND OVERALL ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE, THIS MOUNTAIN CITY HAS ATTRACTED TOURISTS ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER AND THE HOLIDAYS LIKE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR.
If my teammates doesn't want to go I can motivate him by showing him the beauty and activities we can do in Baguio. Baguio City has a lot of things to offer. It is a place for spiritual rejuvenation, haven for artist, and they also has lots of places where we can unwind and relax. We can also do strawberry picking and bring it as a pasalubong to our love ones. we can also visit the mines view park and witness the view and take some pictures as remembrance. It's a once in a lifetime experience and considered is as a reward for all our hardworks.
