2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Favorite thing: The best time to visit is November-March, when the temperatures are cool and pleasant (it’s 15 F/7 C degrees cooler in the mountain areas). April and May are very hot and humid—it’s just prior to the rainy season. Avoid the rainy season, June-September, as roads are often damaged by flooding.

Pine Trees

Favorite thing: Baguio is in the mountains, pine trees and cool weather is the norm. It is called the Summer Capital because many go to Baguio to escape the heat of summer. They do get typhoons there, but it is usually lots of rain. My last trip to Baguio happened to be during a typhoon and we had a leak in our room right in the middle of the bed. It was a 1/2 star or so hotel, nice but not expensive. I can't remember the name.

Favorite thing: Take care when choosing a taxi - very often meters don't work, but you may only know this when you're inside!
Be prepared to haggle - it does work.
Be extremely cautious at night if travelling alone (obvious, but worth mentioning)

Cool Getaway

Favorite thing: Baguio's fortune is in its cool climate and high elevation. The American military was the first to recognize the area's appeal, setting aside a 535-acre military reservation amidst the pine trees in 1903 as a retreat for soldiers in need of some R&R. Today the city is a busy urban center, having risen from the rubble of the devastating earthquake of 1991. A popular retreat for city-folk looking to escape the heat.

Favorite thing: This just caught our eyes - cute advertisement on car top. It's a puppy with a bucket and the word "Joy" written on the bucket. Such an innovative way of advertising!
