What to do and see in Baguio, Luzon: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

June 24, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Baguio, perched high in the Cordillera Central Mountains, is a great place to escape the heat of the Philippine lowlands. Camp John Hay, originally built as a recreation area for U.S. soldiers, now is a full-fledged resort complete with a world-class golf course. Definitely stop at the city market, where you can buy almost anything (just be prepared to haggle).

Burnham Park

The 'mother of all parks' in Baguio city, the summer capital of the Philippines, is a 32.84-hectare park designed by, and named after, American architect and urban planner Daniel Hudson Burnham, who also designed the original plan for Baguio City as well as Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) in Manila. The park has 12 main areas, the most popular of which are the Burnham Lagoon, a man-made lake with rowboats for hire; a children's playground; a skating rink; the Rose Garden and the Picnic Grove.

Historical Core - Camp John Hay

Reviewed By RiyadhDiner - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

We went up to the Philippines' summer capital in 2010 when we enrolled our eldest at the UP Baguio. Since then we are mesmerized by this small, old yet cosmopolitan mountain city built by the Americans and one of their many works there is the beautiful Camp John Hay. With its manicured green lawns bedecked by colorful flower of different and attractive colors the place is most ideal for visitors who delights in walking and whiling away their time amidst chirping birds, the scent of pine trees and the smiles of friendly people around. The place is home to excellent hotels like Manor and Forest Lodge Hotels that offer good food and attraction, excellent service and facilities equal to none. We fell in love with the city and we are now permanent residents of this beautiful mountain city. Thank you God for this gift of beautiful place of retirement.

Diplomat Hotel

Reviewed By AndyF_England - Birmingham, United States

I enjoyed my visit here, it was cool rather than spooky but i think it would be very spooky after dark! The place is not in great shape, the sooner you can visit the better. The Diplomat sits at the end of a winding road at the top of a high hill, at the moment you can access the roof and there are some great views of Baguio to be had from here. I enjoyed the walk back down the hill, there was a nice breeze, the air was fresh, and after about 10 mins you get back to the town and more shops, taxi's etc and you can also access Lourdes Grotto from here,

Session Road

Reviewed By BigBoyMico - Silang, Philippines

There are signs for Pay Parking all over the place, but when I asked the Police stationed there, they told me that I don't have to pay anything. Session Rd is the heart of Baguio City, everything is there or at least near there. You have a lot of choices for dining when in Session Rd, from fast food to food stalls, name it and it's there. You can also find convenience stores and shopping centers in the vicinity of Session Rd.

Laperal White House

Reviewed By grinningbobcat - Makati, Philippines

It is too unfortunate that I did not have the opportunity to enter inside the house. The taxi driver told us that it was recently bought by a businessmen. As a heritage advocate, my only wish is that this place will be preserved because this is a heritage gem of Baguio despite of the modern establishments that pop out like a mushroom along Leonard Wood's road. Although it was well-known being haunted due to 'paranormal' experiences, its bloodied history was incomparable. The architecture itself was unique, a mixture of Spanish and American features. For Baguio visitors, it will be much appreciated if you will pay a visit on this house and promote it for tourism purpose.
