Museo Orlina

Museo Orlina is a veritable treasure trove of contemporary art of the internationally-acclaimed, pioneer, and foremost practitioner of glass sculpture in the Philippines, Ramon Orlina. The museum has four levels of exhibit area, a sculpture garden and Amphitheater, and a roof deck to enjoy the spectacular view of Taal Lake.

Small but very cool museum featuring glass and other scultpture works of Orlina. Take the guided tour, it's only 30 mins or so but gives a lot of good info. If you're in Tagaytay I would definitely stop here (and skip some of the other attractions which aren't nearly as interesting).

Malinta Tunnel

Reviewed By rosalina b - Houston, Texas

The tunnel is a testament to human ingenuity, built inside a mountain at a time when construction of any magnitude was unheard of or rarely done. This tunnel provided protection for more than 16,000 people (soldiers, civilians and families) during the Japanese invasion of the Philippine Islands. This is where the then President of the Philippines Manuel Quezon sought refuge together with General Douglas MacArthur and his men. The tunnel provided solid protection for them until they were overpowered by a mass of Japanese soldiers. The Light and Sound Show in the tunnel gave us a sense of what must have happened that day in 1941. Located in the uninhabited (except for the employees) Corregidor Island of the Philippines it is a testament to human ingenuity and the site of so much bloodshed in World War II. It made me feel humbled and thankful for my freedoms because of the sacrifices of these brave men in uniform, Americans and Pilipinos alike.

Our Lady of Manaoag at Tierra de Maria

Reviewed By JeanRaltique

A walking distance from hotels along Tagaytay- Calamba road. Anyone may pray inside the pray room. The place is quiet and not so crowded. There's no parking lot but visitors may park at the road shoulder. There's no Sunday mass since this is not a parish. Mass is on every first Saturday of the month only. If you are checked-i n a hotel nearby and you want hear mass on a Sunday, there's the Mother of Perpetual Help Parish Church less than a kilometer away towards the Rotunda.

Aguinaldo Shrine

Dubbed as the House of History, the Aguinaldo Mansion is the locus of a focal point in the unfolding of Philippine history. Constructed in 1845, the original structure of the house was of nipa-and-thatch material. It was reconstructed four years later using a variety of Philippine hardwood. By the 1920s, major renovation saw the construction of the tower and the symbolic balcony of the house. It was also during this period that the house was refurbished with architectural details of nationalistic themes, masonic symbols, and art nouveau and art deco’s artistic style prevalent during the early 20th century. The house where the president lived was donated to the Filipino people in 1963, a year before he passed away. In 1964, the house was placed under the care of the National Museum of the Philippines and was declared a national shrine through Republic Act No 4039. By 1972, Executive Order No 370 transferred the shrine under the care and maintenance of the National Historical Commission

This is a good musuem for history lovers. It is the only attraction in this town. It provides a good insight into the social and land ownership in the area and the role the town played in the struggle for independence
No admission fee but gratuity is encouraged. You can pass by this shrine in the way to Tagaytay

Puzzle Mansion Bed & Breakfast

Reviewed By fellizee - Batangas City, Philippines

I cant imagine how such a small museum can house so many puzzles. We were told that as of 2012 they have 1,200+ puzzles consisting of 700,000+ puzzle pieces. The 2nd floor houses the biggest puzzle store I’ve ever seen.
The place is not along the highway and you have travel around 3-4 km from the highway. The entrance road is very steep that you have to maintain on your first gear going up. Entrance fee is Php 100 for both adult and child.
Before entering, they will take your picture with the puzzle mansion logo as the background. They will also offer to use you cam to take pictures.
At the start, there is a small orientation wherein they discuss the different types of puzzles and some information about the lady who made the puzzles and how they the record of the largest collection of jigsaw puzzles.

The Pink Sisters Chapel & Convent

Reviewed By Rdm D - Quezon City, Philippines

Growing up, our parents brought us here whenever we visit Tagaytay. We hear mass here too.
Now, I made it a tradition that when I go here, I visit. I like contemplating here. I also like visiting their tiny store. I love it when the sisters sing. It's so heavenly.
This is my favorite place to visit in Tagaytay.

Reviewed By Irene F

we got there at dusk so we missed most of the sprawling taal volcano and the lake from the west side of Tagaytay. but just the same, a light snack at starbucks in twin lakes made our early evening a relaxing one. we munched on our chips later.
if you’re into long drives going to batangas via Tagaytay and need a stopover, twin lakes will not disappoint.

Ayala Malls Serin

Reviewed By Papa-Caps - Lipa City, Philippines

Lots of open green spaces. It features natural lighting and ventilation which gives you a view of the sunset which is not normal in other malls. The place is compact but has a lot of options for whatever you need. Dining, grocery, department store, boutique shops, ATM, it even has a place for worship. Downside is the elevator which is only on one end of the mall which becomes a challenge for those who have mobility issues. But this mall is wheelchair accessible nonetheless.

Mt Pico de Loro

Reviewed By Sean D

One of the most amazing experiences of my life. If you are looking for a fun hike with an amazing view - this is for you. Be prepared though, the hike is not easy. It will take you about 2 hours to get to the top. The best part for me was that there was shade throughout almost all of the hike.
Climbing Monolith is a must. There is one very difficult part to get to the top which includes using a rope to climb but once you get past that, you are good.
If you are deciding between this and Taal volcano for a weekend getaway, there is absolutely no comparison, choose this.
