BAGUIO CITY TRAVEL GUIDE | Itinerary + Budget + Map [Updated 2022]
Saturday, October 29, 2022
Baguio City has been called a lot of things—the City of Pines, the Summer Capital of the Philippines—but what it is, really, is my favorite city in the Philippines.
It is arguably the hub of tourism in Luzon, especially during the month-long festivities of the Panagbenga Festival every February. It has the best thrift shopping places with its ukay-ukay stores. A food trip paradise with its numerous restaurants lining Session Road. And a weekend-getaway haven with its numerous tourist spots and general accessibility from Metro Manila. Its year-round cool and temperate weather only adds to its charm as a tourist destination.
I know I’m not alone in nominating Baguio City as their favorite city, but if you’re still unconvinced, here’s a travel guide to convert you to become a certified Baguio Junkie.

UNDERSTAND BAGUIO
Baguio City is located in the Cordillera Administrative Region in the Philippines. Geographically, it is located within the province of Benguet, but it has since separated from the province when it became a chartered city. It is classified as a highly urbanized city with a total of 129 barangays. It is bordered on the north by the town of La Trinidad, west by Itogon, and south and east by Tuba.
Elevated 1,470 meters above the sea, it was established by the Americans in 1900 as the Summer Capital and a Hill Station--the only one of its kind in the whole of Asia.
WHAT'S THE BEST TIME TO GO TO BAGUIO
It's generally okay to visit Baguio the whole year round, but the best time to go to Baguio depends on what you're looking for out of your trip.
If you want to experience the coldest weather in the Philippines, go during the months of November to February. The cold peaks during January where temperature can go down to 6.3 degrees Celsius. If you want to avoid a massive rush of tourists, avoid the Panagbenga Festival dates which usually happen on February.
The summer months of March to May can also be a good time to go to Baguio to get a little bit of respite from the heat. Note, however, that the weather can only go down to 25 to 16 degrees, the latter being during the dawn hours. These are the peak months of Baguio, be sure to book your hotels ahead of time and be prepared for the tourist crowd.
The rainy months of June to October can be also a romantically beautiful time to go up to Baguio. It does get really cold during these months plus you get to experience a foggy Baguio. I would suggest these for tourists who have visited before—those who need not go to the usual Baguio tourist spots and can trade these for simple strolls around the city with umbrella on hand and long visits to cafes and restaurants. This is also the best time to avoid the crowd.

Baguio City is located some 250 kilometers from Metro Manila and is elevated 1,450 meters above sea level. Buses are the usual transportation of choice when going to the city and travel time usually clocks in at six hours (from Manila).

GETTING AROUND BAGUIO CITY
Jeepneys and taxis are the main modes of transportation in Baguio. Although it can be said that taxi cabs are more prevalent in the city than jeeps. This is probably due to the fact that taking a taxi in Baguio City is very cheap since most don’t need to use their air-conditioning—saving a lot on gas. Cab drivers are also very honest, giving back your change up to the last centavo. Flag down rate is ₱35.00.
It’s still, however, cheaper to ride jeeps whether you’re going back to your hotel or some tourist spot in the city. Most tourist destinations in Baguio is, more often than not, accessible via jeepneys. Most of the terminals are located at the Igorot Park, beside Burnham Park, and the streets along the Baguio Public Market. If you’re not familiar with these places, don’t be shy to ask locals where the terminals are for any given destination. Minimum fare is ₱11.00.
TOURS IN BAGUIO CITY
Baguio City tour packages are a dime a dozen. The probability of finding one in your own city is quite high. These are mostly inclusive of lodgings, transfers, entrance fees, guides, and transportation. Rates range from about a thousand pesos per person per night, but that totally depends on how big your group would be. But if, however, you find yourself already in Baguio City, you can still check out numerous organized tours online or simply flag a taxi and negotiate with the driver for a tour of Baguio—remember to haggle, hard.
Note that I haven’t really tried using a tour package to see Baguio since the city is very to explore on your own. And I still recommend that you simply do a DIY tour of Baguio rather than avail of a package tour.
SPEAK BAGUIO
Filipino and English are widely spoken in Baguio City but their main language is, surprisingly, Ilocano. I was under the impression that Ibaloi, which is closely related to Pangasinense (another popular language in the city), or Kankana-ey, which is prevalent in the northern parts of Benguet Province would be more dominant. Here are a few phrases in Ilocano then to help endear yourselves to the locals (especially when haggling at ukay-ukay, lol).
Thank you - Agyamanak
Good morning - Naimbag a bigat
Good afternoon - Naimbag a malem
Good evening - Naimbag a sardam
How much is… - Sagmamano ti…
Where is… - Ayanna ti…
WHERE TO STAY IN BAGUIO CITY
There are uncountable number of lodgings and accommodations in Baguio City. They range from cheap backpacker types to really posh hotels. It would take a dedicated website to list each and every inns, hostels, motels, dorms, homestays and hotels in Baguio City, so I’ll simply list down those where I’ve stayed in.
The best area to stay in at Baguio is near Burnham Park since this is where most of good restaurants are in Baguio are. It is also convenient since the jeepney terminals are also just within the area. Granted that most of the big hotels around this area are expensive, you can find cheaper options along the side streets that are still within proximity to the park.
And although it’s usually very easy to get a lodging as you arrive in Baguio City, I advise that you book ahead, especially during the busy Panagbenga and Christmas season.

WHERE TO EAT IN BAGUIO CITY
Baguio City is a food-lovers paradise. The city has every cuisine you can think of in every style of restaurants possible. You can dine cheaply on Chinese dishes on one day and splurge on the same dish on a different restaurant the next day. But since you’re in Baguio, might as well chow down on greens more—fresh veggies are quite abundant in the area, making them really affordable. Most restaurants crowd around the Session Road area, but be adventurous and try some out of the way places too. Also, check out curious art cafés that makes dining almost secondary.

WHAT TO SEE & DO IN BAGUIO CITY
Baguio City is one of the most visited regions in Luzon. With its slew of tourist spots that keep visitors going back, year after year, it really isn’t hard to reckon why. From pine-laden parks, to native villages. Horse-riding to boat-paddling. Trail hiking and strawberry pickings. Art museums and haunted houses. One can say that tourism is Baguio City’s middle name.

WHERE TO SHOP & WHAT TO BUY IN BAGUIO CITY
Shopping for pasalubong and keepsakes is part and parcel of visiting Baguio City. One simply cannot go back home without bringing jars of strawberry jams, choco flakes, kinky barrel-man carvings, tacky shirts, keychains, and ref magnets with you. Add the fresh veggies and strawberries that can be bought very cheaply almost everywhere and you’ve got more than you can probably lift back home. You’d definitely run out of space for those walis tambo and giant kutsara at tinidor carvings very quickly if you don’t watch it.

BAGUIO CITY SAMPLE ITINERARY WITH TRAVEL BUDGET
A two-day weekend tour is usually not enough to cover most of the tourist attractions in Baguio City. A three-day itinerary can do it, but for a more relaxed pace, I advise that you extend your vacation to at least five days. Spend those two extra days to visit the PMA grounds and the Balatoc Mines (now closed), or simply walk around the city—try out various restaurants, have coffee at the numerous cafes, and simply enjoy being in Baguio City. The Baguio itinerary I made can be for a day trip, an overnight stay, or a two-night stay.
Traveling to Baguio City is not expensive. There are wide range of lodgings to choose from which can suit everyone’s budget. Food is also no problem since restaurants and eateries abound. Getting around is cheap, you can either ride a jeepney or take a cab, which is also surprisingly affordable, or better yet, walk. The city is both good for both budget backpackers and luxury travelers.
Along with this Baguio itinerary is a budget guide. It details jeepney fares (most of the jeepney terminals are near Burnham Park or the public market, ask the locals), minimum food cost, and the cheapest room rental cost. Note that I purposely didn’t include the transportation fare of actually going to and from Baguio since that can differ greatly, depending on where you’re coming from. And as always, this budget guide is intended for the absolute minimum one can spend for a three-day Baguio trip based on the itinerary I listed below (not including the restaurants, shopping, and pasalubong).

Baguio was my dream destination when I was growing up to almost adulthood. I didn't get a chance to go there until I was already in college. Loved the place....I still do even, after I have been to many places in the world. Nothing beats first love.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree Bert, even with its haphazard development, I still love Baguio :)
DeleteDetailed and thorough. Ang galing naman idol! Ü
ReplyDeleteSalamat Kath, will add some more Baguio tourist spots and restaurants in time. Andami ko pa rin gustong bisitahin dun at mga blog backlogs :P
DeleteThank you sa info! I am looking for a hotel in baguio.
ReplyDeleteNo problem Marco! The ones I posted above range from very cheap to very expensive :P
Deleteawesome! thank you for the wide range of list from the transpo to food to places 😉.
DeleteGod bless
whew! ang intense! lahat na andito na pati ang paghulog ko sa hydro falls. nice :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha wala akong balak puntahan yang hydro falls na yang, effort!! I'll add Bridal Falls in this guide once I finally blog about it :D
Deletewaaah love this blog... dun ako lumaki sa Baguio... it changed so much... Thank you for this post...
ReplyDeleteNo problem Maya! I'm always envious of people who have Baguio City as their hometown :)
DeleteAstig nito, kumpleto :)
ReplyDeleteNakakamiss tuloy ang Baguio, kaso parang ang dami nang tao ngayon dun, crowded na lalo kapag Panagbenga o Mahal na Araw...
Anjo, January is actually the perfect time to visit since this is the coldest months in Baguio. Just time your visit before or after the Panagbenga to avoid the tourist crowd :)
DeleteThanks for the map!!! Ang dami kong nahanap na itinerary pero yung map talaga yung pinaka-helpful :) now i'll be able to manage efficiently yung pagkakasunod-sunod ng trip :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem Jhenpot, glad you find my Baguio itinerary helpful :)
Deleteang galing nman ng site na to. lahat andito na. kudos sa gumawa nito! :D
ReplyDeleteSalamat Lily, may may kaunting Baguio tourist spots na wala pa dyan, but I will always be updating this post for those :)
DeleteBravo, Christian!
ReplyDeleteThank you Turista Trails, akyat na ng Baguio! :)
DeleteGreat posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Zosima! Enjoy Baguio! :)

ReplyDeleteThis blog serves as our guide during our visit in Baguio last weekend. We really enjoyed our trip although we missed some attractions listed like the PMA and Laperal house due to time constraint. One thing I've noticed missing is Rito's. Taob ang bulalo ng Batangas sa kanila! Thanks to the author of this site. Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried Rito's yet, actually this is the first time I've heard of them. Care to share their location? :)
DeleteIt is located at Engineer's Hill, i guess a kilometer away from Victory Liner terminal. Just a small eatery though but serves great bulalo. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! Will try that bulaluhan when I return to Baguio City. :)
Deletecan't wait to go there this coming november :)
ReplyDeletemagkano kaya ang budget. ? dlwa kame eh. susunduin namen ung itinerary mo.. salmat ng marmi
ReplyDeleteHi Arthur, that would depend on where you would choose to stay. For the food, 200 per meal per person should be more than enough. For transportation, it's about 50 to 100 pesos per transfer to the tourist spots. :)
DeleteThis is so informative. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wyatt, hope you get to use it on your Baguio trip :)
DeleteGreat Guide,
ReplyDeleteBalak namin pumunta ng wife ko sa December 25 , hehe. Ayaw namin gumastos ng malaki kasi may mas malayong trip kaming sa feb. Dahil sa guide mo sir mejo nagka-Idea para makapagplano. galing!
No problem Jerome! Let me know if you find something new in Baguio so I can update this guide. Enjoy your trip! :)
Deletemaraming salamat sa blog na 'to may idea na din ako kung pa'no ko ba-budgetin yung budget ko pag pumunta kami dyan. hehehe very very very helpful. thank you, Sir. :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem sir! Hope you have a fun Baguio getaway! :)
DeleteIt has been a long time since I last visited Baguio. Thanks to your site I now have an idea how to maximize our vacation and where to go for 3 days. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Adrian, enjoy Baguio's cold weather!
DeleteI am planning to go next month. any suggestion where can we stay (5 travelers) that closer to the main attraction and syempre mo good price din... I still contemplating kung mag co commute kami or mag re rent ng car with driver.... all suggestion is greatly appreciated.. Salamat po
ReplyDeleteHi Lea, I think Baguio Holiday Villas is the perfect place for you. It's walking distance from Burnham Park and price is competitive specially for big groups. They also have a kitchen, so you can cook your own meals and save a bit.
DeleteFor me, commuting to Baguio is always better, more economical. Once in Baguio, you can always take a taxi, which is very cheap compared to the ones in Manila. :)
I'm planning to surprise my boyfriend to a Baguio getaway this end of the month. thanks for this blog. Now I know where to start. Specially the map, it's really a big help.
ReplyDeleteGlad the Baguio tourist spot map helps! I was initially hesitant on putting it up as it was such a task, but now I'm glad I did :)
DeleteThe cover photos you make are hypnotically beautiful! The images, typography, the little details. Everything! You're one of the best, no-shit, no-nonsense bloggers out there. Galing na magpicture, galing pa magsulat. Idol!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patrick for the kind words, means quite a lot to me to get these kinds of compliment from readers :)
DeleteKuya Max, wala ng PNKY cafe. It was replaced by another resto but I forgot to take note of the name.
ReplyDeleteAww talaga? How's the new restaurant? Same ba nung old PNKY, rebranded as new one or totally new talaga?
DeleteGuys on my next vacation i have a plan to bring my family in baguio, and we will stay for 3 days
ReplyDeletethis is our first time to visiti the summer capital of the philippines.
I am just curious how much do i need for our travel total of 7-8 persons.
and renting a lodging house is more advisable rather than to check-in on a hotel?
Bcoz we want to buy our own foods in the market and cook.
Please help me guys....
Thanks :)
Hi Win, renting a lodging house is definitely much more affordable than a hotel since you're a big group. If you have a bit of a budget, I suggest you stay at the Baguio Holiday Villas (listed above). They have a kitchen so you can save up a bit on food, plus it's near Burnham Park and the public market. :)
DeleteHi just wanna ask if there is any 24hours trip via van in cabanatuan termina going to baguio or what is the last trip ?
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm really not familiar with the Baguio van schedule from Cabanatuan City, but I don't think it operates 24 hours
DeleteI have been there too. Ilocos and Baguio in a 5 day trip. visit my blog for tips
ReplyDeletehttp://sowhatright.blogspot.com/2015/01/going-north-ilocos-baguio.html
Yung Itenerery po ba is base sa pagkaka sunod sunod ng distansya ng mga Tourist Spots? Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the trip itinerary is set in conjunction with the distances of Baguio tourist spots from each other :)
DeleteYou are heaven-sent! This is truly legit :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem, enjoy Baguio's sights! :)
Deleteilove this site:) complete info:):):)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lei! I will post an update for Baguio's tourist spots and hotels soon :)

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome BCD, Baguio has always been my one of my favorite places in the Philippines, hence this travel guide :)
DeleteHello po. Thank you sa very complete na guide na ito. May sample itinerary pa. Ask ko lng po, what hotel best to stay base sa Day 1 ng itinerary sa taas? Salamat po.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous, when it comes to location, I'll have to choose Hotel Veniz :)
Deletehi, updated paba itong article na to???
ReplyDeleteYes, I updated it February this year :)
DeleteGood day I'd just like to inquire if is it ok to relocate in Baguio?
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure as I haven't really tried living in Baguio :)
DeleteDetailed informative and helpful guide. :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing though, estimated budget trip to baguio? For two person. :)
DeleteHi NinjaLiit, it's quite hard to estimate a budget for a trip because everything would depend on where you're gonna stay, where (and how many times) you're gonna eat, and what mode of transportation you're gonna take.
DeleteThank you very much for this Sir! This will serve as my guide this weekend (Nov 19-21)! I hope I can maximize this time away from Manila. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mich, glad to help! Enjoy your Baguio trip! :)
Deletehi christian... thanks for the info...
ReplyDeletetanong ko lang... mas ok bang mag commute kysa sa mga tour package? for 2days? wala kc akong idea 1stime ko lang sana ppunta sa Baguio since its my bday this dec17 hehe ano kaya mas bet? thanks
Hi, if you have the budget, I'd say go for the Baguio tour package. It is more convenient and will lessen the chances of you wasting time by transferring from one place to the next. The downside is, it would be more expensive.
DeleteIf you're more adventurous, go for the DIY commute to and in Baguio. It is quite easy and relatively cheap to get a taxi in Baguio. Plus you get to stay on each tourist spot in Baguio on your own time. :)
hai Christian, have u heard about cafe in the sky (la presa) ?
ReplyDeletedo you have any info about that place? how to get there commute or taxi?
cos i researched it some of them said taxi fare go there 150-300 1 way, some said 800++ round trip.
please advice me if u have any info. thx.
Hi Bobby, I haven't been to that place yet. Will try it out next time I go up to Baguio again :)
DeleteHi Christian,
ReplyDeleteSadly the LGU already restricted access to Sto Tomas. There was a directed recently disallowing tourist to go there. Café in the Sky is not operating anymore but they still have the hotel. You can go to that if Café in the Sky will confirm your reservation ahead in the checkpoint after the Green Valley area.
It is sad as this is my favorite area in Baguio, Im sure with your masterful hand with the camera, pictures of this place would entice more and more tourist but again sadly, no one can go there anymore except those who live there
That's too bad as I really haven't been to that area yet. Hopefully they reopen it in the future. :)
DeleteHi Christian! I am planning to go to Baguio for a 4-day vacation alone. :) :) I am pretty much on a very tight budget so this is very helpful. :) I'm hoping to get a cheap room. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi there, good luck on your Baguio trip! Did you get a cheap accommodation? :)
DeleteI love your blog!!!! Thank you so much!!! mag isa kasi akong magtatravel sa baguio at vigan, and I'm from Cebu! kaya salamat kasi sobrang detailed ng blog mo. :D
ReplyDeleteNo problem Cherry! Are you gonna go straight by bus from Baguio to Vigan? :)
DeleteNo, sir. Limited days lang kasi at mas gusto ko i feel yung lugar so baguio muna then babalikan ko nalang ulit and vigan. :)
DeleteMy Partner and I will be in Baguio this coming April 10-12, 2016 and this Blog made it so much easier for me to plan our vacation. I was even searching for a Map that would easily tell me where to go, and this Blog has it! Whew! I hope that our Vacation will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi RC, I'm glad you were able to utilize my Baguio tourist attractions map :)
DeleteHi, I love your blog. These is helpful I'm planning to go to Baguio with my family for 3 days. Can you suggest a cheap transient house? a clean & a safe one? Near at Camp John Hay or Sm Bagiou hopefully. Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteI haven't really tried staying at a transient house before, so I can't recommend any. If you're considering a dorm, I've tried AKAP Dormitel, the cheapest I've stayed in so far while in Baguio, but it's one jeepney ride away from Burnham Park
DeleteCan you send me a sample itinerary for one day tour in baguio only.thanks and more powers
ReplyDeleteHi Jessa, you can use the Day 1 of the itinerary I posted, just squeeze in Mines View, Botanical Garden, Wright Park and The Mansion in there :)
DeleteHi Christian, can you suggest a 1 day itenerary in Baguio, we were from Manila, approx we will arrive in Baguio by 5 or 6am and we will stay in Azalea Residences. Thank you & God bless!
ReplyDeleteHi, sorry for the delayed response. You can probably squeeze in the Day 1 and Day 2 Baguio itinerary I posted above. :)
DeleteHi Sir! ask ko lang kung naexperience mo ng mag early check in sa mga hotels or lodges sa Baguio? How much do they charge sa early check ins??
ReplyDeletethanks!!
Hi, hotels in Baguio usually allow early check in if the room is not being used. Better call them a day before if they would allow such. :)
DeleteWe are heading to Baguio nextweek for our 10th year anniv with the kids and I found this blog with detailed itinerary. Will use this as our guide, thanks for this. Hopefully the weather will be good! We are booked at Hotel Elizabeth:-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Haven! Glad you find my Baguio guide to be helpful! Enjoy Baguio!
Deletegood day! punta sana kami this weekend. from nueva ecija kami,suspended padin kaya ang bus until now? tsaka alam mo kaya sir ang timing ng van nila? maraming salamat po. btw, great post.. sobrang helpful! keep it up sir :)
ReplyDeleteHi Erian, better contact the bus services from Nueva Ecija to Baguio for their schedule. Enjoy Baguio! :)
Deletemaulan ba jan kpag october?
ReplyDeleteWith the weather today, it's really kinda hard to predict
DeleteHello. My partner and I are planning to have a 2days and 2nights vacation in Baguio. How much do you think is our budget sa tours and food?
ReplyDeleteHi Kathreen, budget for tours, less than a thousand pesos for each if you're gonna do it on your own and just take cabs or die jeepneys. For food, depends really where you're eating. A meal can range from PHP60.00 (carinderia) to about PHP250.00 (famous restaurants) per person.
DeleteBaguio din ang fave kong city! :) I fell in love simula nung nkapunta ako dito. Planning to go back this Nov. Season po ba ng strawberry? thanks
ReplyDeleteSame here, Baguio remains one of my favorite cities in the Philippines! Strawberry season in Baguio starts from November to May. :)
DeleteWow, isn't this blog the best? I mean, you've covered EVERYTHING! I've been to Baguio 3x already but I'm planning to celebrate my birthday weekend there so I'm just looking for new places and itinerary. I almost forgot about Stobosa. Maybe you can also add Cafe in the Sky, "La Presa" and Dinosaur Island as an update for others. Kudos! :)
ReplyDeleteElaine
Hi Elaine, thank you so much for appreciating this guide. Will try and include those on the next update after I visit them myself. :)
Deleteheya mccoy onkyo606 here.you finally had the chance to get back after more than a year.
ReplyDeletelast time i was in baguio was in feb 2016 traffic was hellish that weekend but we still enjoyed our stay. we will miss another visit this december aswe decided to go further north this time. i will try to do a quick visit though balikan lang. i have been frequenting the place the past 5 years but will neverget tired of it.
have you tried eating at tono tono yet? i bet you will keep going back too. i just forgot the exact location but that bulaluhan on your way to mines view is also worth a try.
Hello sir Onkyo606! I know how you feel, bad traffic jams but still, we still head over to Baguio! Will keep those restaurants on my list, too many good places to eat out in Baguio. :)
DeleteHi po! Pwede na ba mag-strawberry picking ng October? Planning to visit Baguio next week. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine, I guess there's already strawberries by October, although strawberry season usually starts on November :)
DeleteGreata BLog out here ! Baguio City is one of the best attraction and historical places here in the Philippines
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaycee :)
DeleteHi! Punta kami ng boyfriend ko sa Baguio this october 18 and will follow your itinerary dahil 3 days naman kami. :) Pwede bang kung kailan nandun na kami saka lang kami maghanap ng hotel? Saka saan ba magandang magstay na swak lang sa budget and for two? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is possible to find an accommodation right there and then, but you might not get the lowest available price. I recommend Hotel 45 for budget walk-ins.
DeleteNeed po nmin tour guide tom couple po..alis po kmi tonight dito manila

ReplyDeleteWhen are you going? Ber months are the best time to go to Baguio, super cold!
Deletethe Cheapest to stay in Baguio is at Bab's Transient house for only 250 per night per person where you can cook your own food and free use of utensils and LPG and rice cooker and for your convenience when touring in baguio just negotiate a jeepney driver for the whole day tour for about 2000 -2500 a day.
ReplyDeleteAng galing mo po sobrang detalyado. Gusto ko rin sana pumunta dyan ngayong December pero solo lang ako and at the same time medyo kinakabahan kase hindi ko kabisado yong lugar. Pero dahil dito siguro e note ko na lang yong places tapos pag nandun na ako saka na lang ako mag tatanong sa mga tao hehe! Salamat po sa info. God bless.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, you need not worry about security in Baguio, if you somehow get lost, just ask around, lots of friendly people in the city. :)
DeleteOk. Thanks Christian. God Bless. :)

Thanks for your effort! Keep up the good work ��
ReplyDeleteWow, Baguio's a good place to start travelling. It's very easy to get around to! :)
DeleteHi Christian, were going to visit baguio. Tatlo sasakyan kami from Nueva ecija. Pare pareho kami Walang alam s baguio. May alam kaba tourist guide n marerefer s amin to follow your two days tour. Bka kc masayang Oras nmin pag wala kmi guide
ReplyDeleteHi, I really don't know any tour guide in Baguio. What you can do is load up for an unlimited internet on your phone and use the gps coordinates I posted above so you won't get lost going to Baguio's tourist spots. And, you can also ask people, they're pretty friendly. :)
DeleteWOW ANG GALING MO SIR :) Bukod sa AKAP DORMITEL ano pa ang mas cheapest? Im planning to go there kasi on FEB 25-26. Panagbenga grand festival. San kaya pinaka maganda mag stay? yung dadaanan ng float and street dance? thanks sir :)
ReplyDeleteSo far, that's the cheapest Baguio lodging I know of. You may also try Hotel 45, it's a bit more pricey, but they have better rooms and location.
DeleteWill follow this itinerary sa bday ko this january 20! Nag leave ako ng jan.20-21, then off ng 22-23. Thanks for this blog! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
ReplyDeleteFour days in Baguio! Enjoy sir! :)
DeleteOhmooo! Thankyou sa Blog na to. Sa totoo lang gusto ko lang magtravel ng hindi nagpapabook. Gusto ko ako lang para hawak ko time ko lalo na pag pagod ako sa kakalakad :) Napakaimpormative nito. See you soon Baguio. After 17years makikita ko ulit ang Baguio :) <3
ReplyDeleteHi Sharmayne, glad to hear that you're coming back to Baguio! Hope you have a hassle-free DIY Baguio tour! :)
Deleteyung 3k per head keri na ba yun sa 3days & 2 nights?
ReplyDeleteHi Regine, if you're staying on a really affordable accommodation, 3,000 pesos for a 3 days, 2 nights tour of Baguio is okay. :)
DeleteI Love this site complete info��
ReplyDeleteThanks Christian
Hi Diana, thanks for appreciating! Hope you have a fun time in Baguio! :)
Deletepag may sariling car po ba. lahat po ba ng pupuntahan na tourist spots may parking lot po ba? at kung free o may bayad po? Thanks po
ReplyDeleteHi, some tourist spots in Baguio have parking lots for private cars. A few, you just have to park on the street :)
DeleteMy husband and I with our 7 years old son will go to Baguio this February 4 to 5, what will be the best itenarary for almost one and a half day? If we leave from Manila at Saturday 6am, we will most likely arrive there at Saturday noon. Makakapaggala kami from that time to 6pm. Then Sunday 7am to 4pm. Ano ano magandang unahing puntahan on that so limited amount of time? Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteHi Lara, the best thing to do is to check the Baguio tourist spots map I posted above for places that are within each other, then you can formulate your customized Baguio one and a half day itinerary
DeleteHi! We'll be at baguio in two weeks from now.. We choose your itinerary and got some ideas.. But my bf hard to find cheap accommodation like what you had.. Any suggestions for accommodation?? specially this season is really too hard to find better but cheap rooms to stay in at baguio.. Any suggestion? Like Bed and breakfast that you know? Most of transient we found got some issues on bathrooms and cr😞 hope you can help us
ReplyDeleteHi, I suggest that you check the link I posted above for more Baguio accommodations :)
DeleteHi., balak namin mag walk in if ever maghanap ng accommodation, hindi ba mahirap mag hanap ng cheap na tuluyan dun if ever?
ReplyDelete2 adults and 1 toddler(2yrs old)
It would be a bit hard to find accommodations on Baguio for walk ins on weekends, for weekdays, I guess it wouldn't be that hard
DeleteHi, Christian! You're a genius! I loved reading through your blog (note that I am NOT a reader and how hard I try not to read through articles and just skim through them) and learning a lot on how to get to places and just know what to do once you're there. It will be my first time to travel alone on a DIY IT trip and I have spent days, literally daaaayyyyss just trying to figure out how to plan this trip properly and without hassle. I'm very meticulous, especially to the detail regarding the value and quality that I get out of my money now more-so for I'll be shouldering my expenses alone for this trip. NEWBIE here! haha and with your blog, It's like I know the ins and outs of Baguio already. This blog of yours is without a doubt helpful and informative. THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeletep.s.: It is only in your blog that I got the number of the hotel that I've been trying to reach for days and I just booked a room for 3 nights! YEY!
Hi Eeia! Thank you so much for appreciating my blog! Always glad to help out a fellow traveler, especially when it comes to Baguio. I love this city!
DeleteI'm actually preparing for a trip sometime in October. This would really help me a lot.
ReplyDeleteHi Cromwell! Happy this Baguio travel blog helps! :)
DeleteHi Sir!
ReplyDeleteKatapos ko lang po basahin ung guide nyo, maraming salamat dito... we'll be in Baguio sa Friday kaya i-bookmark ko itong blog mo. Thanks!
Hi Edgardo! Glad my blog helped! How was your trip? :)
DeleteThanks to this ... I find it really helpful. If we opt for car rental, do you have any recommendation for the most reliable, safe and affordable provider? Great thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Cecile, I'm not that familiar with car rentals in Baguio. What you can do is simply flag a taxi and request if they would be okay in renting their cab for the day. Most taxi drivers in Baguio are quite honest, so I don't think you'd have any problem with them. :)
DeleteHi Chienthy, the early check outs are for those wanting a shorter stay in Baguio and won't be finishing the whole itinerary :)
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for blogging this, super helpful siya for me who doesnt know how to set a getaway. Any recommendation sa hotel? I have 1,500 to 2000 per night budget, for 2 person, yung accessible sana sa public transportation. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi John, for cheap Baguio accommodations, I suggest that you search on Agoda, they have lots of affordable places there :)
Deletehttps://www.agoda.com/city/baguio-ph.html?cid=1649989
I am now going to follow your itinerary. You're such a blessing! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Enjoy Baguio!
Deletehi thank you for the information it really helps a lot.. may i copy your sample itinerary?
ReplyDeletehello.. this blog is so helpful. :) we are planning for DIY with my husband :) its our first time to go in baguio :) :) thankyou :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Baguio trip! :)
DeleteThank you kuya sa blog mo.ask ko lang bakit ang lalayo ng mga pupuntahan kagaya ng baguio cathedral tapos papunta ng tam-awan village yung kasunod.
ReplyDeleteHindi po ba pwdeng laperal white house n lng muna?
Naguluhan lng po ako hehehehe
Sana po masagot mo po thank you
You can switch the itineraries, of course. The Baguio Cathedral is at the center so, it's up to you where to go next after that. I dedicated the second day to the Laperal area and the first day to visit Tam-awan, which is quite isolated. :)
DeleteSuch a helpful blog! Thanks a lot for this gonna bookmark this so i can celebrate my birthday in Baguio City..
ReplyDeletePS
Is the price of the foods in your blog is updated this 2017?
Enjoy your Baguio trip Rommel! Prices for the food are updated up to 2016 :)
DeleteSo thankful i found this blog =) We're on our way to Baguio right now and im with my partner, well truth to be told im really hesitant to do a DIY travel. But i have no worries at all now =D Im so amazed with the wide range of choices and very detailed itinerary that you have.. KUDOS to you sir!
ReplyDeleteWow, a romantic Baguio getaway! Enjoy your trip, sir!
DeleteDelete
Whats is the best time to arrive in Baguio if its a 3 days 2 nights tour? Any suggestions? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteTo maximize your Baguio trip, I suggest that you take the midnight bus ride from Manila. You'll arrive in Baguio very early the next day. If your accommodation doesn't allow early check in, just leave your bags at the lobby first :)
DeleteHi, fees and fares ganyan pa din hanggang ngayon? thanks :) your blog is so helpful
ReplyDeleteHi, yes, more or less the fees are still updated :)
DeleteSALAMAT POH SA BLOG NATO.. MAY IT NA KAMI NG PARTNER KO THIS SEPT.15-18 TRIP TO BAGUIO... SALAMAT SIR... VERY WELL PUBLISH OF DETAILS.. HULOG KAH NG LANGIT POHHH .. ANYWAYS, IM FROM THE LAND OF DURIAN...DAVAO CITY
ReplyDeleteWow, to Baguio all the way from Davao! Enjoy the City of Pines sir! :)
DeleteYour blog is very detailed and informative! I think, everything I should know were all written.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Baguio alone. Would it be possible for me to go on holidays? e.g Oct.31-Nov.2
Thanks!
Hi Chii, I think going to Baguio during All Saints Day and All Souls Day would be a good idea since most people usually head over to the cemeteries on those times. And that can only mean one thing, less people in Baguio! :)
