Summer is fast approaching and the weather in Manila is unlikely hot hot hot. Baguio may be the best place to ease the weather but it's too far away; good thing Tagaytay is just a drive away. 2 hours from Manila via SLEX Sta. Rosa Exit and look for signage on going to Eton City Greenfield then on to Paseo de Sta. Rosa to avoid traffic (specially on a weekend).
Best places to go when in Tagaytay:
1. People's Park in the Sky
- The place has the best view of the whole Tagaytay. They say its the highest peak. Though people mostly visit for the view the place is not well maintained, the buildings there has places which are a danger to some specially for the kids who wander around (tip: always have your kids close to you at all times).
2. Pink Sister's Church
- a convent where nuns and priests attends to pray. Make sure to wear proper attire, and by proper attire means no shorts, sando and slippers allowed. Always follow rules specially inside the convent. This place is a popular place in Tagaytay.
3. Royal Pines Highgrove
- best places to live in Tagaytay, a residential community where houses looks more like a cabin and a lodge.
4. Mahogany Market
- top places in Tagaytay to have and sip a very hot and delicious bulalo. This place is jampacked mostly on weekends and parking spaces are few while roads are too small. Still, people come here just to eat BULALO. Their tawilis are a fave too,
5. Sky Ranch
- newly open park in Tagaytay. They say it has the biggest ferris wheel in the Philippines at 63 meters (207 ft).
