Travel to the Philippines - Baguio City

Every summer in Philippines, starting from the month of April, many Filipinos as well as foreigners go to a place where the heat season can be spent best. This is the city called Baguio, known as the summer capital of the Philippines. It is located at the mountains of Benguet province. The main reason why most tourists go there is because they want to enjoy the cool climate that can never be found elsewhere in the country. However, it is not only during summer when most people drive up to Baguio. Baguio also has a lot of visitors during the months of November until January when the climate is definitely colder than its usual temperature.

Best Time to Visit Baguio

The climate is perfect for growing various kinds of plants and agricultural products. Photographers, flower enthusiasts, tourists, and alike come together every February to witness the spectacular Panagbenga Festival also known as the Flower Festival. It is actually a month long celebration which highlights the grandiose floats created by the locals boasting the vividly colored flowers grown in the city. The floats will be then paraded starting at the Session Road and ends at the Burnham Park. The roads will be then closed to all types of vehicles as bands, street dancers, and people from all walks of life come together to enjoy the annual festival. However, if you want to enjoy Baguio without so much people and so much traffic, this is not the great time for you to come in this tourist destination.



There are also various accommodations available in Baguio that would suit the number of guests, their budget, and their needs. Since most of the tourists that go there are in a group of four or more, transient houses are the most rampant form of accommodation for the whole family. These are usually located not far from the city and from the tourist spots as well. But you can still choose transient houses that are far from the modern lifestyle in Baguio. Usually, the price starts at 2,000-5,000 depending on the season and how big the house is.
There are rooms for rent for the backpackers. Most of these inns can be found at busy areas of Baguio. The InnSison Apartelle would allow backpackers to rent a room in a dorm-type area for only P350 (less than $10). But if you want a full room with one bedroom on it and can accommodate two persons, you can go for their standard room for as much as P1000 only or $20.



Because of the nice cool climate, Baguio is the perfect place to rekindle your relationship or spend your honeymoon. The Camp John Hay Hotel is the best place to do all sorts of activities that would help you bond with your sweetheart. It takes you away from the noisy streets of the city.
If you want to experience the modern Baguio, then look for hotels or transient houses that are near the Burnham Park or Session Road. But the room rates in these hotels are definitely high. On the other hand, if you want to see the best views, the best climate and the real Baguio, look for accommodations that are located at the upper area of the city.



Baguio City is the one place in the Philippines I always dreamed of living in. Imagine all these --clear blue morning skies, foggy afternoons, and chilly romantic evenings.



Good luck and have fun!
