Tagaytay

If you’re talking weekend getaways, Tagaytay can’t be far down on your list. Just 60 km south of Manila, it’s a local favorite for its cooler weather, natural scenery, and family-friendly things to do. With the hilly terrain, there are multiple spots to view the famous Taal Volcano and Lake. People’s Park in the Sky, found at the city’s highest point, is one of the most popular. Head to Sky Ranch for some good old theme park fun, where a ride on the Sky Eye ferris wheel is a definite must-do. Then, look for the best bowl of bulalo to warm your stomach and refuel for the next item on your itinerary.

Whether on a day trip or overnight, Tagaytay is the revitalizing escape you’re looking for.
