Also known as the ‘City of Pines’, Baguio is the summer capital of the Philippines. Easily accessible by road from Manila, this cool retreat is a popular weekend getaway for many as well as a regular stop-off for international tourists touring the country.

Baguio’s location 1,500m above sea level in the mountainous region of Cordillera makes it one of the few places in the Philippines with a relatively cool and pleasant climate. The beauty of the surrounding mountains can be enjoyed at the Mines View Park, a major draw.
