With the number of attractions and the wonderfully cool climate, it’s no wonder that so many people are looking for a condo or a house and lot in Baguio City. With temperatures going no higher than 26˚C on regular summer days, it can be pretty tempting to visit – or even move there, if you can get a good deal from a real estate agent in Baguio!

You can spend whole days just chilling in the parks and going for breezy walks, but you should definitely check out the various tourist attractions. Here are some spots that you shouldn’t miss!

1. Commune With Nature At Camp John Hay

Camp John Hay is considered a must-see – if you could only visit one place in Baguio, this is highly-recommended! Go for a zipline ride or a supervised tree drop if you want an adrenaline rush, then visit its many shopping and dining establishments to cap off your day. The park has all of Baguio’s hallmarks: brisk and fresh air, towering pine trees, and peace and quiet!

1. Admire Art At BenCab Museum

Baguio is also home to a thriving art scene, and the BenCab museum, which houses the personal collection of National Artist Benedicto Cabrera, is a popular tourist destination. Have a look at galleries with different themes, including the masterpieces of Cabrera himself! There’s also a restaurant there - Café Sabel – which uses ingredients grown in the museum gardens.

1. Visit The Strawberry Farms At La Trinidad

Only half an hour away from the city proper, La Trinidad is known for having hectares dedicated solely to growing strawberries. These plump, sweet berries are a special treat that you can harvest yourself around November to May. You can also buy fresh strawberries at affordable prices near the farm exits, or treat yourself to strawberry ice cream and strawberry taho!

1. Go For A Stroll At Burnham Park

This open park lies at the very heart of Baguio City and has many different activities for the curious tourist. There’s an Orchidarium, a picnic grove, a playground for children, and even the Burnham Lagoon, where you can go for a boat ride.

1. Get A Fresh Perspective From Mines View Park

Mines View Park offers a beautiful, expansive view of the Cordilleras and the old mines of Benguet. It’s a great place for buying souvenirs and local handicrafts, such as silverwork and knitted clothes. You can also try Baguio’s famous strawberry taho here, or get a chance to pose for photos in traditional Ifugao attire.
