I can’t even count how many times I’ve been in Baguio City. When I was kid my parents always love taking us to this place. It is really something that people will go back all over again. Other than it’s really a tourist spot in the Philippines, the culture and living are really historical. The place is where you can rest, enjoy, and experience a new culture and traditions. Baguio Philippines has many places could give you to visit.

I miss visiting this place other than it has a different temperature, the air and living there is really refreshing and gives you a break from the busy place down in the city. It was a long drive from my home in Manila but I think the Land and Transportation Office or NLEX already made the fastest way to get to the Baguio City.
I still remember the time when we felt our car is getting uphill and we asked Dad to turn off the air conditioner and enjoy the breeze and cold weather in Baguio. As my Dad drove to the top of Baguio City, We already enjoying the scenery or mountains that surrounds us. As we get to the top, the fresh fruits, vegetables, restaurants that they offer their specialties, and of course the very famous Lion that will welcome you before you reach the city. When I was a kid when we reached this sculpture Lion its already sign for me that we are near to the top or city.

I know I’ve seen this houses when we were about to go down or driving back home. I think this is something new in Baguio City but I’m sure I’ve seen this one time. When I get to visit again I’m sure I will have a nice picture here.

The Mansion, the one of the most visited place in Baguio City. As far as I know, this is built for the President of the Philippines if he will have a meeting or maybe a place where they held important gatherings of the president and other presidential activities. I wonder what is it look like inside. I’ve been here for a couple of times already and I think I haven’t had a decent picture and I will sure redo one.

I’ve seen Botanical Garden several times already but didn’t get a chance to visit inside. I wonder if I already went inside I can barely remember for so many times I’ve been to Baguio. Anyway, I thought I already really visited every corner of Baguio City and every time we go to visit Baguio we always visit our relatives, plus there always tons of people driving around so it means the traffic there is not that controllable unlike before.
Baguio City is really popular in terms of flowers because of the climate and the kind of soil they have there. They always have this celebration yearly, it is called “Panagbenga Festival”, and it’s a flower competition of different group of people in making the most beautiful and outstanding flower arrangement. I have never been to this festival because I heard it’s really lots of people go there to see the festival so they always suggest going ahead of the day of the festival.

Never ever miss buying “Pasalubong” or goodies from Baguio City. They have a variety of sweets or snacks that you will enjoy while you on way back home plus a perfect size to give to your friends and family back home. This is really something you should try! Who wouldn’t want to try different food taste while traveling!? That’s the most exciting part of the trip!

One of my favorite part of every trip to Baguio, when my Parents want to do vegetable shopping in Baguio. I love their vegetables; it’s very fresh and affordable. I love going with my mother whenever we stop by, I just enjoy looking into this nutritious vegetable.
There’s still lot’s to see and to visit in Baguio City, Your three days and two night is a good itinerary to see Baguio City. I think one week is a perfect to visit all around the places if you really wanted to see all sides of Baguio City.
Upon staying here in Massachusetts, there’s nothing much to visit here in my current state but still, it is a beautiful country. It’s the just Philippines has more places to visit and have fun. I felt miss those times that I really enjoy doing in the Philippines and one of those is visiting this place especially during summer season. We usually go up to the mountain to escape from a hot season in Manila so this is one of the places we visit. Hopefully the next time I visit it will be a good and memorable trip.
