This farm is a berry lover’s paradise. You can pick and pay strawberries during the strawberry-picking season (usually from November to May). Or visit other parts of the farm where a variety of vegetables are being grown for an educational experience.

Don’t forget to try the strawberry taho — one of the delicacies of Baguio City.

Learn more about the indigenous people of the Cordilleras when you visit the Tam-Awan village.

This living museum replicates a traditional Cordillera village. It features tribal huts, art galleries, and cultural performances. You can also partake in workshops on indigenous crafts and even try your hand at pottery.

Aside from cultural immersion, this is also one of the best Baguio tourist spots offering panoramic views of mountains and farms.

Camp John Hay is one of the most popular tourist spots in Baguio. It was once a rest and recreation facility for the United States Armed Forces and has since been transformed to a premier resort complex.

The main draw of Camp John Hay is its lush pine tree forests. It is reminiscent of the old Baguio City, before its widespread commercialization which resulted in forests being converted into commercial spaces.

Activities inside the camp include exploring its landscapes, visiting historical buildings, and doing various outdoor activities including golfing, hiking, and ziplining. You can also visit the Bell House , a museum offering insights into the history of the camp. Or the Cemetery of Negativism — one of the unique places to visit in Baguio that reminds visitors to let go and transform the past.

BenCab Museum is one of the most-visited spots near Baguio City, not just for its artistic value but also its snap-worthy aesthetics. If you love taking photos, then you shouldn’t miss this one.

Located in Tuba, Benguet, this museum is the brainchild of national artist Benedicto Cabrera (BenCab). It showcases a vast collection of contemporary and indigenous Philippine art.

Aside from the art gallery, the museum complex is also home to a mini-forest and organic gardens where you can relax and commune with nature and a café where you can indulge in delectable meals while enjoying the artistic ambiance and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Another must-visit tourist spot in Baguio is the Baguio Botanical Garden.  Stroll around the different sections of the park and appreciate the surrounding pine trees, flower beds, and other vegetation. Plantitos and plantitas can also buy potted plants to take home!

You can also rent traditional katutubo attire for photos, buy souvenir in the stalls, and enjoy snack at the food stalls and other nearby restaurants.

The Mansion is a must-visit in Baguio for history-lovers. It is the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines. Although the public is not allowed to go inside, you can take photos of the building and outdoor gardens.

One of the newest tourist spots in Baguio, Mirador Heritage and Eco Park is a 5-hectare park offering breathtaking views of the city and several attractions aimed at promoting mental and spiritual nourishment.

And of course don’t forget to visit the Mirador Peace Memorial with its iconic torri with overlooking views — one of the most photographed spots in the city in the recent times.

After exploring the park’s attractions and IG-worthy areas, head to their café to enjoy pastries and drinks with a view.

Interestingly, one of the most famous attractions in Baguio City is a “haunted house” — the Diplomat Hotel. This abandoned structure was once a rest house for Dominican friars and then a military garrison and war prison during the WWII. In the 1970s, it was converted into a hotel. It ceased operations once the owner died.

The Diplomat Hotel is often considered one of the most haunted places in the Philippines. Currently, the hotel is closed to the public but you are still welcome to take pictures from outside and appreciate the views of the city from its hilltop location.

Located a short drive from Baguio, Bridal Veil Falls is a lovely roadside attraction. Named for its cascading waters that resemble a bridal veil, this waterfall is a peaceful spot for picture taking, swimming, and enjoying the cool mountain air.

You can visit the Bridal Veil Falls if you drive along Kennon Road. Cross the hanging bridge to take a closer look at the falls.

There is no entrance fee here but there is a donation box at the bridge entry.

No visit to Baguio is complete without exploring the vibrant Baguio Public Market. This bustling market is a treasure trove of local products. You can buy cheap fresh produce grown in the nearby mountains, woven textiles, and wood carvings.

It’s an excellent place to pick up souvenirs and savor local snacks like strawberry jam, peanut brittle, and ube (purple yam) products.

Opened in 2021, the Igorot Stone Kingdom is one of the newest Baguio tourist spots to visit. It is a theme park based on the legend of Sab-angan, an Igorot Kingdom in the past.

The park showcases the indigenous life in the Cordilleras through its amphitheater-like stone walls, stone houses, and other displays. The view from the top areas offers a view of the surrounding valley and the sunset.

One of the newest attractions accessible via Baguio City is the Colors of StoBoSa (officially known as StoBoSa Hillside Homes Artwork).

It is a hillside community located in La Trinidad, where houses have been painted in various colors to create a mural. The mural encompasses three sitios in the barangay including Stonehill, Botiwtiw, and Sadjap (hence the term “StoBoSa”). It is considered the country’s first community artwork.

This tourist attraction can be visited on the way to the strawberry farm. Head to the bridge for the best spot to take pictures.

Pro Tip: Parking spaces are limited, so if you’re bringing your car it’s best to go on weekdays.

So far, we’ve covered the usual tourist attractions in Baguio City. If you’re looking for something new, then check out Mount Kalugong in La Trinidad.

Commuting here is easy since you only need to ride the same jeepney that goes to the strawberry farm. Ask the driver to drop you off at Mount Kalugong and then hike for 30 minutes to the eco-park. Once there, you’ll reach rock formations with a pleasant view of the town below and a café called Kape-An where you can enjoy pastries and brewed coffee while enjoying the view.

When you’re in Baguio, one of the things you should do is take a leisurely stroll along Session Road, the city’s bustling commercial and entertainment district.

This lively street is lined with restaurants, cafes, bars, boutiques, and souvenir shops. It’s the perfect place to experience the city’s vibrant urban life, enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee, or savor local delicacies.

Baguio is a haven for food enthusiasts, offering a range of local and international dishes.

Be sure to sample fresh strawberries, as well as strawberry-flavored taho. Other local favorites include vegetarian dishes at Oh My Gulay, pinikpikan and other local dishes at Father’s Daughter Restaurant, strawberry cake from Vizco’s Bakeshop, and tsokolate batirol at The Manor or Café by the Ruins.

For delicious pasalubong (souvenir) and treats, make a stop at the Good Shepherd Convent. This religious institution is known for producing some of Baguio’s most sought-after products — particularly strawberry jam, ube jam, peanut brittle, and more.

It’s worth noting that purchases made here support the charitable work of the nuns, particularly for educational funds for students enrolled at the Saint Louis University in Baguio.

Pro Tip : Head to Good Shepherd Convent early in the morning to avoid long lines. In normal hours, you need to get in line for around 30 minutes.

If your visit coincides with February, you’re in for a visual treat. The Panagbenga Flower Festival is Baguio’s annual flower extravaganza, featuring elaborate floats adorned with vibrant blooms, street dancing, and other cultural performances. The Panagbenga Festival , which means “ season of blooming ” in the Kankanaey language, originated as a symbol of the city’s resilience and commitment to rebuilding after a devastating earthquake in 1990. The month-long celebration is a testament to the city’s nickname as the “ Flower Festival Capital of the Philippines .”

The Penagbenga Festival is one of the most popular festivals in the Philippines. It’s a must-see tradition for both locals and foreign tourists alike.

Growing up in Baguio City, nestled among the picturesque mountains of the Philippines, provided me with a unique sense of home that I’ve carried with me throughout my life. The crisp mountain air, the scent of pine trees, and the vibrant culture of the city shaped my identity in profound ways. From exploring the bustling streets of Session Road to seeking solace in the serene beauty of Burnham Park, Baguio City was not just a place where I lived; it was a part of who I am. The memories of attending the Panagbenga Festival with family and friends, or enjoying steaming cups of strawberry taho on chilly mornings, are etched into my heart. The sense of community in Baguio City, where neighbors felt like extended family and strangers greeted each other with warm smiles, fostered a deep connection to my surroundings. Although life may have taken me far from the city’s embrace, the spirit of Baguio continues to reside within me, a constant reminder of the place I will always call home.

We miss you friend hahaha 😀

Miss ko na chee cheong fun. 🙁 Lang malapit na malaysian restaurant dito sa’min tsaka wala sila mga ganyang street food haha. Pati yung teh tarik iba lasa.

Mahirap hanapin yung ganyan recipe sa Pinas.. pati mga ibang locals dito sa KL ang alam sa Chee Cheong Fun is ung matamis lang na sauce and walang curry na option and mostly sambal ung partner. 😀 kaya medyo unique ung sa Taman Esplanad ang problem lang mahaba ung pila pag 9am to 10am.

Yung teh tarik ata sa pinas mostly indonesian style kaya iba lasa.
