Burnham Park is the vibrant heart of Baguio, offering a lively park experience from day till night. By day, the atmosphere can be peaceful and tranquil, perfect for a relaxing escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The iconic man-made lake at the center of the park is a major draw, where visitors can enjoy leisurely boat rides in rowboats or swan-shaped paddle boats. I think most of the boats cost 200 pesos for 30 minutes. Even if you're going solo or with a group, it's fun to row around the lake. Beyond the lake, the park buzzes with life. You can rent bicycles of all kinds, from single bikes to tandem bikes, and pedal along the designated paths. The open spaces are ideal for a picnic, jogging, or simply strolling through the beautiful Rose Garden and other landscaped areas. At night, the park’s ambiance transforms. A portion of Harrison Road, adjacent to the park, closes to traffic and becomes the famous Baguio Night Market. The area fills with stalls selling a vast assortment of goods, from thrifted clothes and souvenirs to local handicrafts. It's a bustling hub for bargain hunters. The air also fills with the delicious aromas of various street foods, making the night market a must-visit for a lively culinary adventure. The park's dynamic nature ensures there's something to enjoy from morning till late evening.

Baguio’s cool air always feels like a reset—but this Sunday, standing before the Baguio Cathedral, it felt like more than that. It was church #21 out of our 52 for the year, and this one stopped us in our tracks. The twin spires rising above Session Road, the soft pink façade, and the sweeping steps leading up—it looked like a postcard. But once inside, it was the silence that got me. Amid the stained glass and hushed prayers, my wife and I watched our three girls light candles beneath the statue of Our Lady of Atonement. They didn’t speak. They just stood in stillness—rare, beautiful stillness. For a dad, moments like that linger. This cathedral wasn’t just impressive—it was calming. It reminded me that amid our noisy schedules and long drives, grace still finds us in quiet corners. Church #21 left a mark. Not just because of how it looked, but because of how it made us feel: grateful, grounded, and just a little more whole.

Why come here: 1. Tam-awan Village is just nearby Stone Kingdom. Before or after visiting the Stone Kingdom which is often crowded, you can enjoy a more realistic mountain dwellers village. 2. This tourist spot showcases different types of village huts, beliefs, traditions and rituals of the mountain people. There is also a mini museum which displays paintings, figures and artifacts. 3. You can also enter one of the huts, but you have to observe the rules. A group of dancers wearing traditional Igorot clothing performs traditional dances for the tourists. The entrance fee is 100 pesos as of dec 2024 for adults it might change today. You have to climb and trek uphill to explore the village. The village is a forest itself and the steps are a bit slippery so be careful trodding uphill or downhill. You can enjoy the nature vibe while learning about the history and culture of the Igorots.

One of the best museums I've been to and perhaps the best museum in the Cordillera Region. The place is also trendy and usually a lot of visitors on weekends. It has a cafe at the lower ground level adjacent to a beautiful garden.

What a beautiful and well-maintained park 💗 We enjoyed our time here even though it was raining a lot. There are a lor of bathrooms and places to stay and eat. We enjoyed coffee by the cafe near the entrance of the park. Wear comfortable shoes since it’s also an eco trail (with pavement). I was with seniors so it took us about 2 hours to go around the park and it was raining too so we had breaks.

We visited around 10 PM, and even at that hour, the place was already bustling with people. It was during the first week of July when we came, and the weather added a cozy atmosphere—it had been raining on and off throughout the day, and by nightfall, it was quite foggy with occasional light rain showers. Despite the weather, the area was lively and vibrant. There were plenty of food stalls offering a wide variety of options—from classic street food to local favorites—making it a great spot for late-night cravings. We also spotted several thrift stalls with interesting and affordable finds, perfect for those who love bargain hunting. The overall vibe felt festive and local, and the mix of food, shopping, and people made the experience enjoyable. Just make sure to bring an umbrella or jacket if you’re visiting during the rainy season, as the weather can be unpredictable. This place is definitely worth a visit if you want to experience Baguio’s night scene, especially if you’re up for food-tripping and a bit of shopping.

This has been the BEST RESTAURANT we have visited in Baguio. At first we were skeptical that it was on the top floor on a building without an elevator. However, the climb was super worth it! The interior was AMAZING! It was like entering a fairy's house. The view was great and the food tasted like a home made meal that my grandfather used to make. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Baguio.

Stepping into Café by the Ruins felt like walking into a living canvas—walls whispering stories, food plated like poetry, and coffee brewed with soul. Every bite was comfort laced with artistry, from their signature bread to bowls that carried flavors of Baguio’s roots. The ruins don’t just hold history—they hold warmth, a space where creativity, community, and cuisine sit together at the table.

Had dinner at Lemon and Olives Green Taverna, which was a pleasant walk from Baguio Country Club though taking a Grab is a smart option. The restaurant has a great vibe and we were lucky to arrive early enough to get seats at the veranda where the cool weather made the experience even better. We started with the Evia Salad with pomegranate pearls, dried Greek figs, walnuts, and feta cheese tossed with mixed greens and a sweet balsamic reduction. This was a standout and something I’d definitely order again. I had the Beef Souvlaki Plate served with pita bread, fries, and garlic, chili, and tzatziki dips. The flavor was alright though the beef was a bit chewy, so I’d probably try a different main next time. The chicken version was good though. We also ordered the hummus from their mezze selection which was good and served with warm pita bread. Overall, Lemon and Olives is a must-visit in Baguio with a relaxing ambiance and plenty on the menu to come back for.

Actually the branch that we went to was in SM Baguio and not Session Road. Anyway… I think the portion was reasonable for the price. I love the cake as always. I also love the salad, fish fillet, and all the drinks that we ordered. The salisbury steak was okay, and the half and half pasta was 👎🏻 I would not recommend it. The branch in SM Baguio was hot as we went this April. They should add more fans or ACs. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

We went here for a dinner and raining during the night of July. We ordered their famous chicken along with some tofu. We didn’t expect that the chicken would have a big serving. The taste of the chicken is like the chicken spicy of intramuros walls. It is savory but not that spicy. The breading is thick which was filled with sauce and so very good to partner with rice. The cheesecake we ordered as dessert was not that distinct. They can improve the cakes. At the end we decided to take out our chicken and paid extra 25 pesos for a quality microwaveable container.

My first time at this restaurant in Baguio. It was highly recommended by friends for its good food. We ordered soup, salad and mains. And yes, they were all good. We took home some frozen items from the deli and strawberry jams. The restaurant is located at the basement of a 1908 building which is also a hotel. We parked along the street in front of the establishment. But they do have a parking lot at the back of the property. It would be wise also to call and reserve before going.

I went to Foggy Mountain Cookhouse in late April 2024. As an American traveling to the Philippines for the first time it was complicated but well worth the complexity of getting there. For foreigners trying to dine here there are some things you must know. The accessibility of the place is somewhat limited in terms of parking. The day you plan to go I recommend taking a taxi. There are many reputable taxi services in Baguio available on Facebook. Facebook is also how you will make your reservation and order in advance. It is a policy to order in advance to ensure availability. At least the time of year I went. It was not exactly tourist season so my date and I were the only ones in the restaurant. It was really lovely, it was as if I had rented out the whole place to ourselves. We were greeted by our waiter and he showed us to a table outside with a great view of the mountain. As the evening carried on the fog rolled in and soon it was just us. Although the view is less impressive in the fog it is still very beautiful seeing the lights from the adjacent mountain. Some mosquitoes came out and the waiter was very accommodating and put out two cups with about 15 mosquito incense sticks to repel them. We were given a buzzer to ring our waiter to take orders or ask for anything specific. I was at first a little confused but to make a long story short, after our dinner we learned that Chef Babes was on Vacation and his Sous Chef was both our Chef and Waiter. He was absolutely incredible and he cooked everything to perfection. I would love to come again to have some of Chef Babes food, but what we had was hands down the best meal I have had in my life. We had an appetizer of spaghetti, my date got the Steak cooked medium well and I got the Lamb Shank. The Lamb was one of the most tender and succulent pieces of meat that I have ever had. The mix of flavors in the sauce were absolutely incredible too. The Steak was also very good but if I go back I am getting that lamb every time. It was the first time I ever had lamb too so if you are considering it, I encourage you. This was the first time I had Cheese Ice cream in the Philippines, I had no idea about it before coming here and it was really delicious with the bacon, I LOVED it! The Strawberry Icecream is a classic there too. Being Baguio the strawberries are the best in the world. I am a strawberry hater in the U.S. but they are so amazing in Baguio. The pricing is expensive for a dish in the Philippines but this place has food that rivals the best restaurants I’ve been to in America, including Gordon Ramsay restaurants. Taken that into account it’s amazing value for money. This place is truly a Diamond in Baguio and I hope I can return someday. Thank You Po 🙏

One of my favourite places because of the views and overall atmosphere there! Really enjoyed the food too! Everything was great, including the drinks and desserts that we had! The only thing that wasn’t good were the ebi tempura, but everything else made up for that! Will definitely be back here again!

Food: 11/10 - Price is very much justified by the taste of the food they serve that has generous portions. Service: There was a bit of wait time. Around 20 to 30 mins but food was served warm which was perfect for the rainy weather when we went here. Staff were also approachable. We went there before the lunch service so we were seated right away. Atmosphere: Very cozy and comforring vibes. The place gave me that nostalgic "grandparents' vacation home" feels. I would live to come back and bring my famit here.

If want to savor a traditional way of making hot chocolate, then this is the place to be. Along with a delicious selection of Filipino cuisine, nothing can satisfy the palate more. Located in the Camp John Hay, this is a must place to visit as there is no other place that serves the best Chocolates-late de Batirol.

This airport serves San Fernando area in La Union. A community airport but has not been used by airlines for sometime. Well, the place is cool coz it’s near the shoreline!! Nice!
