Baguio City Day Tour from Manila
About this tour
Escaping to the cool mountain air of Baguio
Just a few hours from Manila, Baguio offers something the capital cannot - cool mountain air, pine-covered hills and a relaxed highland pace that has made it the Philippines' favourite weekend escape for generations. This day tour brings you into the city's parks, markets and viewpoints without needing to plan your own transport or route.
The drive up
Leaving Manila's heat behind, the road climbs steadily into the Cordillera mountains, the air cooling noticeably as pine forests replace the lowland scenery - many visitors' first sign that Baguio feels like a different country from the capital just hours away.
City highlights
Burnham Park and beyond
The tour typically takes in Burnham Park's boating lake, Session Road's shops and cafes, and one or more of the city's scenic viewpoints, along with a stop at a local market for the region's famous strawberries, vegetables and mountain produce.
A city built for pine trees and fog
Baguio's identity is inseparable from its climate - pine forests, frequent mist, and a noticeably cooler temperature that makes jackets a genuine necessity rather than a fashion choice, a welcome novelty in a tropical country.
Good to know
Bring a light jacket or sweater, as Baguio is considerably cooler than Manila, especially in the early morning and evening. Comfortable shoes suit the walking involved around the park and markets. The day trip covers a lot of driving, so it suits travellers happy to spend time on the road in exchange for a genuine change of scenery and climate.
