If you are traveling to and from Baguio city, I recomend hiring a van from a recognized car rental agency. It is much easier, convenient and safer than bus travel especialy if traveling in a group or family. For around $100 US you will get a relatively new 9 Passenger van with AC and a driver. I recommend Avis in Baguio.

We have planned for our New Year's vacation in Baguio for months. And so despite the "meningo" scare, we pushed through with our trip --- we just made sure to avoid to public market. My family and I have been to Baguio several times in the past but this was the first time we got to see the famous strawberry fields --- the highlight of our trip. Even though we did not get to see the strawberries (they must have been picked earlier that day), it was still a sight to behold as we arrived there in the late afternoon --- with the sun about to set, the fog creeping in, and all the flowers in full bloom. And despite the fact that our car was already full with passengers and baby stuff, we will managed to pack in a few kilos of strawberries and vegetables for which Baguio is famous. "Meningo" scare and all, our Baguio trip was worth it!

The weather in Baguio was just great, no humidity! Baguio is a very hilly city and great for walking or there are plenty of taxis available.

We are driving our own cars but we opted to stay most of the time at the hotel. The downtown area is really crowded. The local government should put order and discipline to the drivers of public utility vehicles.

It was a very pleasant trip overall. We had a van of our own and all we did was purchase a detail map to go around.

The hotel is slightly far away from the Session Road City area. Thus, I had to always take a taxi to the city to get my meals, since I am vegetarian and the hotel provided no vege food.

Don't go during the rainy season. The open air market is a wonderful place to wander around for a day. The food market is a great place to get a good meal and drink for a dollar. Flying in and out of Baguio is unlikely during the rainy season. The bus trip in from Manila will take you about 7 hours if you travel during non-peak hours.

Baguio is a cool and refreshing destination for a trip up from Manila. The flight up gave great views and was without incident, though I understand poor visibility can make it hairy. It's no problem walking around the city. People are friendly and English language skills are very good. Unfortuantely the jeepney diesel fumes are as bad as Manila in the heavy traffic areas. Recommend to visit: Burnham Park, Cathedral, Mine's View Park, PMA, Camp John Hay. Recommend to eat: Forest House on the way to CJH , and Sizzle Plate and Swiss Cafe on Session Rd.

Baquio is beautiful, particularly the drive up from Tarlac. The hotel is in a poor position near to the industrial area of the city. Very noisy even on the 3rd floor.
