TAGAYTAY Attractions that You Shouldn’t Miss
It’s summer and in the Philippines, it means
that it’s that time of the year when temperatures as well as the humidity begin
to skyrocket. It’s also a time when the sun’s heat is—a lot
of times—too much to bear. Many leave the city to escape the, say, annoyances of summer. During this time,
Tagaytay becomes one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines, particularly those who are from the country’s capital, Manila.
Around 60 kilometers or a two-hour drive from
Manila, Tagaytay offers an ideal combination of high elevation and lush
vegetation that is unsurprisingly flocked by many who want to enjoy summer without
spending too much time traveling. It is perfect for people looking for a good
alternative for Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines.
Here are some of the attractions to visit when in Tagaytay:
Taal Volcano
Taal Volcano, the second most active volcano in the
country, is definitely one of the top tourist attractions in Tagaytay. It is famous for its huge crater and hilly sides that
go into the Taal Lake. There are two ways to enjoy it:
seeing it from afar or hiking to its crater. Whatever your preference is, a trip to Taal Volcano is going to be worth it.
Skyranch
If a leisure park is more right up your alley, then a visit to Skyranch is going to be a definitive experience for you. Kids and kids at heart will truly enjoy the fantastic rides, food destinations and family-friendly ambiance of the park.
Antonio’s
If you’re a foodie that wants a taste of
mouthwatering local food, then Antonio’s is the place to be. It offers
incredible culinary options such as lechon de leche, angus prime roast beef,
spice lamb chops, and so on. They are made from the finest ingredients to
deliver a sense of satisfaction. Plus, the restaurant itself is
complemented by exceptionally crafted interiors that deliver a sense of
hospitality.
Café Veranda
Café Veranda at Taal Vista is considered by many
as Tagaytay’s hidden tourism gem. You can enjoy a sumptuous dinner
and enjoy a cultural show. The performers
usually do three sets. Plus, the service is splendid
and the staff are attentive to the needs of its customers.
Museo Orlina
Museo Orlina is an art gallery, art exhibition
center, amphitheater, and music theater that are rolled into one facility. It is a great place to visit not only during summer, but basically
all year long since it hosts a myriad of festivals. If you’re in luck, you can
indulge in a music festival that is packed with a full line-up of local
artists. Other times, you can also find street art stalls. It
is a must-visit if you’re a culture vulture who has knack for arts.
Picnic Grove
Within close proximity of the Our Lady of
Manaoag Church, the Picnic Grove is a laid-back and picturesque place for
individuals who want to enjoy exceptional views. They can
also go kite flying, horseback riding, cable car riding, and zip lining.
There are also restaurants and
shopping centers for pasalubong items.
Puzzle Mansion Bed and Breakfast
If you’re traveling with kids, then you should consider including the Puzzle Mansion Bed and Breakfast in your
itinerary. In 2012, the Puzzle Mansion won an award for having the biggest collection of jigsaw
puzzles in the world. While there, you can enjoy its extensive collection of
configured puzzles that include those of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, 3D
puzzles, etc. There is also a huge blue pool in the back area that you
can use if you decide to check-in.
Nurture Wellness Village
If you want to experience a healthier life this
summer, then the Nurture Wellness Village is perfect for
you. Aside from its comfy bed, you can also enjoy its trademark spa that
utilizes leaves, stones, and oils. You can also partake in healthy
meals and experience steam bath and acupuncture.

that you can enjoy if you decide to visit Tagaytay this summer. It is far from being a comprehensive list. You just have to pack your bags and go, and maybe leave some space for spontaneity in your travel itinerary.
