Baguio City
If you only have a day to spend in Baguio,
start your tour with a walk down Session Road. The city's
commercial artery, Session Road is where you get your first bite
of the charm and serendipity of Baguio. Apart from a smattering
of one-of-a-kind curio shops and fashion boutiques, Session also
features an interesting array of culinary delights. Restaurants
specializing in Chinese, Italian American, Japanese and
Mongolian can be readily found along Session. From Session, take
a cab to any of Baguio's prime attractions. Go horseback riding
at Wright Park. Climb up the 252 steps to the Lourdes Grotto.
Play a round of golf at John Hay. Cook a tasty chopsuey with the
freshest of veggies from the Baguio City Market. Visit the
Mansion. Stock up on strawberries. Or tuck under a warm blanket
with the crackling of burning wood lulling you to sleep. For
nighttowls, Baguio is alive with pulsating music and warm
spirits. There are a number of bars and discos that swing until
the wee hours of the morning.
Burnham Park - Situated at the heart of the city, Burnham is the
traditional venue of the city's numerous festivities. The park
is named after the city's master planner Daniel Burnham. Its
man-made lagoon is the site of many boating excursions, Bikers,
hikers and skaters delight in the park's criss-crossing
walkways. And of the romantic, a walk in the rose gardens is an
absolute must.
Club John Hay - A tour of Baguio is incomplete without a bite of
the Club's jumbo-sized burgers and sundaes. Formerly the R & R
center of the United States Armed Force personnel in the
Philippines, the Club features hotel type rooms, seven food
outlets, an 18-hole golf course, six tennis courts, a six-lane
bowling center, basketball and volleyball courts, a heated
swimming pool plus more for a definitively sporty weekend.
Baguio Cathedral - Rising above the city skyline are the pinkish
hues of the Baguio Cathedral. The cathedral is but one of a
number of religious landmarks which dot the city. There is the
Bell Temple, north of the city; the Mary Hurst Seminary with its
brilliant gardens; and Lourdes Grotto with its 252 steps to
heaven.
