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.

Baguio City is a must to see if you travel to Philippines. first set out and designed by the U.S. for recreational facilities...the climate and temperatures will amaze you for being in the Tropics, with pine trees and cool breezes. It is fairly easy to visit by a 45 minute plane flight daily in the morning from Manila. Much to see and do...with amazing views of the mountains. Plenty to do for any type of activity...History abounds...with the Japanese formal surrender here in WW11. Parks are plenty, golf course, many colleges, the american equivalent of West Point also located here, a very modern multi level mall also helps you find what ever you desire if you cannot locate with street vendors!

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.

Baguio City offers a variety of places of interest including Burnham Park, Mines View Park, Mansion house, Philippine Military Academy, Lourdes Grotto, and the Baguio Market. But also the Weaving School and the Silver Smiths school are interesting places to visit.
Hire of transport can easily be arranged with the hotel and is very cheap and affordable.

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.

Baguio is a beautiful city spread out among the hills. Camp John Hay is a highlight. Great views from the new SM mall.

We went by the Manor at John Hay which had been sold out. I would have paid the higher rate than the Concorde Hotel as the place is magical and the food, although expensive by PI standards, was outstanding, with excellent service. Gigi loved the spa and the rooms were very high quality.

Baguio is a very unique city with lots to do and see. Getting around by cab is easy and cheap, although they may be hard to catch in the evenings. Great shopping at SM Baguio, Session Road and various markets. Places to relax include Burnham Park, Philippine Military Academy and Camp John Hay. There are lots of spots with great views and historical value. I recommend three days and three nights to take in all of Baguio.

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.
