| Mines View Park--one of the many Baguio City tourist spots for an ideal Baguio tour. |
Many people want to travel to Baguio and have their own Baguio tour but
not everyone knows what exactly the Baguio tourist spots are and how to get
there. Basically, people know that Burnham Park is located in Baguio but not
all people know that Baguio Burnham Park is located near Session Road, or the
bus terminal and they can actually do trips without riding a cab. People’s only
resort to touring every Baguio tourist spot is hiring a cab and spend big bucks
which they must not be spending. And for those who are on a tight budget, they
limit the number of Baguio tourist destinations they visit. Again, if you are
yet to plan your very own Baguio day tour (or day and night tours), you have to
set this in mind—touring Baguio is NOT expensive (as to what other people
know). From Manila excluding the round trip bus fare and accommodation, P1000
is already enough to visit most of the tourist attractions in Baguio plus eat
at one of the best Baguio restaurants plus buy souvenirs and pasalubong for two
persons!

Baguio is a city located in the mountains of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). Baguio held its centennial celebration last 2009, cherishing the developments it has gone for a hundred years. Officials and professionals also held a planning workshop, a design charette that compiles students’ ideas of how Baguio will look like after the next 100 years. Luckily, I was one of the few people chosen to attend this event. By the way, if you want to call my attention for your next Baguio trip, just contact me and I’ll try to meet up with you or give you suggestions and guides so you will have a Baguio trip on an affordable budget.

PLAN BEFORE YOU GO: Baguio
Day Tours
There are a few things we should list down here prior to doing this tour
in Baguio. Check them out:
| An old helicopter in PMA. |
| Take a photo of the world's largest 10 commandments tablet only in Baguio City. |
| Catching the sunlight at Diplomat Hotel Ruins in Baguio. |
THE ITINERARY. If you plan to visit every tourist attraction in Baguio in one day, scrap it. It is NOT doable. Camp John Hay is a vast land of different business buildings, nature adventure, tourist spots and walk tours. Philippine Military Academy is very far from Baguio City downtown aside from its very wide campus. Visiting Lourdes Grotto requires energy to climb its almost endless upstairs. Combine these three Baguio tourist destinations and get your body pain.

THE CAMERA. Baguio is a city full of photo subjects so never miss out
anything nice just because you forgot to charge your battery or worse you
forgot your camera.
THE BUDGET. List of expenses will be presented in the next posts so
travelers will have a big hint on how much they should budget for the tour.
Other tips are similar to what I posted in Baguio Walk Tour: Leonard Wood
so please check them out. Baguio City is one of the best places in the
Philippines for a barkada outing, family get-together, batch reunions, touring
you and your kids for a vacation and even for a solo backpacker!
