It was years ago when the last time I visited Baguio. I remember arriving in the city at night, and welcomed by this cold air that made me shiver. Being the summer capital of the Philippines, we already have an expectation when it comes to its weather and temperature, but when you’re already there, no amount of jacket can prepare you, especially during the night.
The city of pines is the kind of relaxation that you need – cold weather, nice people and chill vibe. Aside from that, the city is also filled with attractions and food to complete your experience.
During those years, attractions like Burnham Park, Mines View were very popular, but now there are other tourist spots that are getting traction on social media like Bencab Museum, Museo Cordillera and a lot more.
If you are planning to visit Baguio, there are quite a lot of options for you to choose from. Here is your guide from Manila to Baguio.
