Things To Do
Baguio Night Market
There are pop-up booths that would only be set up before it gets dark and food stalls that would open only in the evenings.
Baguio Cathedral of Our Lady of Atonement
You can attend a mass (sometimes in Ilokano, their native dialect), say a prayer, or light a candle at Baguio Cathedral. You can also climb the 104-step staircase that ends at the Calvary.
Camp John Hay Forest
When you think of Baguio, chilly weather and pine trees would probably come to mind. At least, that’s how the bride imagined Baguio when she was younger. If you’re looking to spend time with your family away from the noise, enjoy walking on the forest trail, or just have a cuppa coffee while enjoying the cool Baguio breeze, you can get that from Camp John Hay. It’s become one of bride’s favorites, and never miss visiting Camp John Hay whenever she go to Baguio.
Northern Blossom Flower Farm
Take Instagram-Worthy Photos at Northern Blossom Flower Farm As it is quite a drive from Baguio, leave early in the morning to fully enjoy the breathtaking sceneries and the gorgeous flowers.
Good Shepherd Convent
Get your ube jam and other Baguio delicacies for pasalubong from the Good Shepherd Convent. What’s your favorite pasalubong (part of the Filipino culture of bringing a keepsake or a gift from a trip) from Baguio? Our favorite is strawberry jam!
Oh My Gulay
Enjoy a vegetarian meal at Oh My Gulay! Also owned by Kidlat Tahimik, Oh My Gulay! is another place you must visit when you’re in Baguio. I first heard of Oh My Gulay! from my sister Ayesha. And, since my first visit, I have fallen in love with the place. It’s located on the fifth floor of the La Azotea Building on Session Road. There was no elevator, as far as I know, so we climbed the staircase to get there. A vegetarian restaurant and art space for emerging local artists, this place offers coffee and vegetarian meals surrounded by interesting paintings and sculptures.
Choco-laté de Batirol
One of the things I love doing in Baguio is having a warm cup of hot chocolate while enjoying the chilly weather. And there’s no better place for that than Choco-late de Batirol, a Baguio homegrown. Located in Igorot Park, Camp John Hay, you can enjoy a cup of their traditional blend of hot choco-late drink made from the choicest cacao beans. If you’re hungry, they also serve Filipino meals (we’ve tried it, and it was also good!).
Hill Station
If you’re feeling fancy, treat yourself to a fine dining experience (with a view!) at Hill Station in Upper Session.
Igorot Stone Kingdom Inc.
Launched to the public in the second half of 2021, the Igorot Stone Kingdom is Baguio’s newest attraction. So new that construction of some parts were still ongoing when we visited. The park showcases both modern and traditional Igorot culture as well as the values of the Cordillera Region.
La Trinidad's Strawberry Farm
Situated about 30 minutes north of Baguio is the most popularStrawberry Farm in the area. It’s often associated with Baguio City but is actually part of La Trinidad. If you want to experience picking your own strawberries, which is the main draw of this place, you have to pay an additional fee. If you want to take home the strawberries you picked, you also need to pay per kilo. The strawberry-picking season is from November to May. The farm also has a pasalubong center, composed of several souvenir stores. Don’t forget to try strawberry taho and strawberry ice cream! Aside from strawberry products, the farm also offers fresh produce and plants.
