Going around the smoky and
traffic congested city can prove to be taxing for tourists to the Philippine capital of
Manila. In this case, visitors can just do what the locals do and take a drive and perhaps
a picnic basket to one of the outlying provinces of Manila, Tagaytay
City.

Roughly 45 minutes away from manila is the City of
Tagaytay. Known to offer some of the best views of the worlds smallest active
volcano, Mount Taal, Tagaytay is a favorite picnic destination for city dwellers with its
many picnic groves and fresh, cool hilltop air.
One of the best places to visit in the area is the
Peoples Park in the Sky located at the top of 750m Mt. Sungay. The park features a
shrine, walking trails, a restaurant, and breathtaking views of the Tagaytay area.
Tagaytay Picnic Grove, located along the main highway
offers a picnic grove, horseback riding and roller skating grounds for visitors wanting to
take in a little bit more than just the scenery.
Visitors to the city almost always pay a visit to the
Mushroom Burger restaurant in Tagaytay. Famous for its huge cultured mushrooms used as
burger patties, guests are assured of m eals that are delicious, healthy, and very
affordable.
For guests with children, a visit to the mini-safari at the
Residence Inn in Tagaytay may be a treat they will never forget.
Tourists wishing to stay on and enjoy the cool air or
perhaps pay a visit to neighboring provinces like Batangas and Cavite, may choose from the
many hotels and inns to be found along Tagaytays main road.
The Taal Vista Hotel offers clean rooms and fantastic views
of Taal volcano from its viewing gallery. Guests may also take a flutter at the Casino
Filipino for some night entertainment with lady luck.
Holiday makers with top dollar tastes may stay at the
Days
Hotel located near the Silang rotunda.
Visitors may also opt to lease one of the many vacation
houses available for rent on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Travel Tips on Visiting Tagaytay
Tagaytay City is best visited in the months of November to
March as Tagaytay is often blanketed by low-lying clouds during the rainy season.
The climate in Tagaytay is much cooler than in
Metro Manila. It
would be recommended that visitors pack light sweaters and jackets especially at night
when the air could be chilly.
