Baguio City Tour

Perched at around 1,500 metres in the Cordillera mountains, Baguio is the Summer Capital of the Philippines, prized for its cool climate, pine forests and laid-back highland charm. This half-day city tour hits the essential stops, beginning at Mines View Park, whose viewing deck looks out over the old gold and copper mines of Benguet and the surrounding mountain valleys.

You continue to The Mansion, the official summer residence of the Philippine president built in the early 1900s, and Camp John Hay, a former American rest-and-recreation base now full of pine trails and open green space. The tour winds through Burnham Park, the green heart of the city with its boating lake, and many itineraries add the BenCab Museum, home to the works of National Artist Benedicto Cabrera alongside Cordilleran indigenous art.

No Baguio visit is complete without the strawberry farms of nearby La Trinidad, where you can pick your own berries in season and sample strawberry taho. With cool air, fragrant pines and a relaxed pace, the tour captures everything that makes Baguio a beloved mountain getaway.
