After Manila trip, we headed to our real destination which is in Baguio City. Baguio City is one of the top and best places in the Philippines. Nice places and cold breeze awaits you in Baguio City. 5 to 6 hours will be consumed when you travel from Manila to Baguio. We reached Baguio City around 9 pm. You can feel the cold breeze as you step in the city. The road is nicely curved, it is high enough to view the city lights down the road.
Botanical Garden
Located along Leonard Wood Road, nestled between Wright Park and Teacher’s Camp, the Baguio Botanical Garden (formerly Imelda Park) is a serene escape and a cultural hub in the heart of the city.
The Baguio Botanical Garden is more than a garden—it’s a harmonious blend of nature, history, and culture. Expect captivating floral displays, meaningful art, immersive heritage exhibits, and peaceful pathways. Whether you’re alone or with loved ones, this garden offers an enriching Baguio experience worth exploring.
The White Mansion
The next spot is the White Mansion. The White Mansion in Baguio City is most famously known as the Laperal White House—a historic, colonial-style home with a mysterious past and haunting reputation. We just took photos with the white mansion behind us.
Mines View
The last place we visited is the Mines View. This is the best spot for me. Mines View is the highest place in Baguio City where you can see places at the bottom. It is like a mountain viewing. At Mines View also you can see Douglas, a large St. Bernard dog breed. This is one of the best places I traveled and must be also included in your travel list.
Wright Park Riding
Wright Park Riding Circle is one of Baguio City’s most beloved and iconic attractions, offering visitors a chance to enjoy horseback riding in the cool mountain air. Nestled beneath a canopy of pine trees, this open space is alive with the vibrant colors of well-groomed horses, often decorated in eye-catching accessories and costumes that delight both children and adults.
Boating at Burnham Park
Surrounded by pine trees, flower beds, and walking paths, the lake is a perfect spot to slow down, reconnect with nature, or simply enjoy quality time with friends or family. The cool mountain breeze and reflective water create an atmosphere of calm and nostalgia—making it a favorite for couples, families, and solo travelers alike.
The Philippine Military Academy (PMA)
There’s so much to see in here. The PMA Museum, which displays vintage weapons, military gear, and memorabilia. They have Outdoor exhibits like tanks, helicopters, and armored vehicles stationed across the grounds. The area has a beautiful open spaces, statues, and monuments honoring Filipino soldiers throughout history.
