Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines, is one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines. “The City of Pines” is always a top destination for vacations and weekend trips because of its proximity to Manila and cooler climate.


1. Shopping for souvenirs


If you’re looking for affordable and quality jackets, boots and clothes, you’ll enjoy hunting for bargain finds at the ukay-ukay shops that sell secondhand and surplus clothes, shoes and accessories. Other popular stops for souvenir-shopping include Good Shepherd (jams and preserves), woodcraft shops (sculptures and furniture), Easter Weaving Room (native textiles and traditional clothes) and the Baguio Public Market (coffee beans, fresh vegetables and packaged food products).


2. Biking and boating at Burnham Park


One of the highlights of Baguio trips is boating in Burnham Park. The park has become crowded of late and is not as pleasant as it once was, but it still appeals to a lot of tourists and first-time visitors, with family-friendly activities like biking and boating available.



3. Ghosthunting


Many places in Baguio have become associated with ghost stories and urban legends. It is good to those people who loved horror flicks, thrill-seekers and paranormal enthusiasts, visiting haunted houses and sites is kind of a thing to do especially around Halloween. There are many ghost stories surrounding areas like Teacher’s Camp along Leonard Wood and the former Diplomat Hotel on top of the Dominican Hill.



4. Visit Camp John Hay


Camp John Hay is one of the most popular recreational areas and tourist destinations in Baguio, with several lodges, restaurants and parks. Popular landmarks here include the Cemetery of Negativism, Bell House and the amphitheater where you can walk among beautiful flowers in bloom.


5. Strawberry-Picking


You can’t go to Baguio without feasting on strawberries. Grown in farmlands around Benguet, fresh strawberries , also with the products like strawberry jam, strawberry wine are the most popular souvenirs from Baguio City. It is better to go their for strawberries at the month of March to April.



As of now their are cases that changes the image of Baguio City, because of it's very popular features sometimes, some people forgets the care for the environment.

PS: Let's leave the place on it's real image.
