Benguet · Philippines

The Summer Capital of the Philippines, a cool-climate mountain city of pine forests, parks, markets, and a lively arts scene.

Places to visit

The green heart of the city, with a boating lagoon, bike rentals, and gardens — a good first stop to get your bearings.

Mines View Park

A popular overlook of the old mining valley and surrounding mountains, ringed by souvenir and snack stalls.

BenCab Museum

Tuba, near Baguio

The gallery of National Artist Benedicto Cabrera, blending contemporary Filipino art with Cordillera pieces and a terraced garden.

Session Road

Baguio's main street, lined with cafes, bakeries, and shops — the place for an afternoon walk and strong local coffee.

Things to do

Strawberry picking

La Trinidad, near Baguio

At the strawberry farm in neighbouring La Trinidad you can pick your own in the cool highland fields.

Local tips

Bring a jacket

Baguio is markedly cooler than the lowlands, especially December to February — evenings can feel genuinely cold.

Expect holiday traffic

The city fills up on long weekends and during the February Panagbenga flower festival; book ahead.
