TAGAYTAY: Best places to visit

Tagaytay is located south of the city of Manila on Luzon Island in the Philippines. It is only an hour drive from the capital, making it a top-rated destination for locals to escape the bustling metropolis. If you’re travelling to the city and have a few days to fill in, you might want to consider this often-missed destination!

Tagaytay offers you plenty of wonderful cafes and restaurants, traditional food from the roadside, the impressive Ta’al Volcano, great budget hostel accommodation, and plenty of activities to see and do. This region is slightly cooler in temperature than the city due to being at a higher elevation (around 600 m), so you can happily wander the streets and explore.

Tagaytay is most crowded over the weekend thanks to being a favourite road trip location, so try and get there during the week if you have the chance. You’ll find plenty of scenic viewing points, new malls, trending coffee spots, and cultural sites to enjoy.
