Baguio, at about 1,500 meters in the Cordillera mountains of northern Luzon, is known as the 'Summer Capital of the Philippines' for its cool climate and pine forests. It is a university town with a lively market and an artistic community.
The city
Session Road is the main street, and Burnham Park, designed by the American planner Daniel Burnham, has a lake with rowing boats. The Baguio Cathedral, Mines View Park and The Mansion are classic stops.
Around Baguio
The La Trinidad strawberry farms are nearby. Baguio is a gateway to the Cordillera, with the rice terraces of Banaue and the hanging coffins of Sagada further north. The Panagbenga flower festival in February is the city's biggest event.
