WHAT TO DO IN BAGUIO
There are many things to do in Baguio. For first timers, a visit to the iconic places like Camp John Hay, Wright Park, The Mansion, Burnham Park and Mines View Park are a must.
Enjoy bibingka and suman sa lihia at Choco-late de Batirol along Camp John Hay. Pick strawberries at the Strawberry Farm in Benguet. Splurge on a shopping spree at the night market along Session Road. For culture and art lovers, a visit to the BenCab museum, Tam-awan Village and Ifugao Carver's Village is a must. Buy Ube at Good Shepherd Convent; walis tambo, strawberry jam, veggies at ultra low price and other souvenir items at the market.
