Baguio tips
Transportation
- Ride jeepneys: Baguio's jeepneys cover most routes from the city centre near Session Road; ask the driver or locals for the right one.
- Take a taxi: Taxis are metered and affordable, but queues are long on weekends and holidays.
- Book buses from Manila ahead: Bus lines run frequently to Baguio, but seats sell out on holidays, so reserve early.
Local Hacks
- Avoid weekend traffic: Baguio gets very congested on weekends and holidays, so plan sightseeing on weekdays.
- Go strawberry picking: Strawberry farms in nearby La Trinidad let you pick your own in season.
- Visit early morning: Popular spots like Mines View Park are quieter and clearer before mid morning.
Saving
- Shop at the public market: Baguio Public Market has cheap strawberries, vegetables, peanut brittle and ube jam.
- Try the night market: Harrison Road's night market offers cheap street food and thrift clothes.
- Visit free parks: Burnham Park, Wright Park and Mines View offer plenty to do with little spending.
Security
- Watch for pickpockets: Keep phones and wallets secure in crowded places like the public market and Burnham Park.
- Drive carefully: Mountain roads like Kennon and Marcos Highway can be foggy and slippery, especially in rainy season.
- Check for typhoons: During typhoon season, landslides can close roads, so monitor weather news.
Cultural
- Respect Igorot culture: Ask before taking photos of people in traditional dress and offer a tip if asked.
- Taste local treats: Try strawberry taho, ube jam and locally grown highland vegetables.
- Join the Panagbenga Festival: The flower festival in February features floats and street dancing.
Weather/Clothing
- Bring a jacket: Baguio is cooler than the lowlands year round, and nights can be chilly.
- Pack rain gear: From about June to October heavy rains and typhoons are common, so bring an umbrella.
- Enjoy cool dry season: December to February brings crisp, cool days, the coldest time of year.
