Baguio sits around 1,500 m up in the Cordillera mountains of northern Luzon, and its cool air and pine forests have made it the country's best-known highland retreat, long nicknamed the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Baguio suit the trips people make here: families and groups escaping the lowland heat for a week, visitors arriving for the month-long Panagbenga festival, and longer stays where a kitchen and a warm living space are worth more than a hotel room on chilly evenings.

Session Road is Baguio's main commercial street, with shops, cafés and restaurants, and the Baguio City Market a few minutes' walk away. During Panagbenga it closes to traffic for a week of stalls known as Session Road in Bloom. It is the natural base if you want to get around on foot.
Stays in or near Session Road and downtown
Designed by Daniel Burnham as part of his 1905 plan for the city, Burnham Park covers about 33 hectares just below Session Road, with a boating lake, a rose garden, an orchidarium and a children's playground. The surrounding Legarda Road and Kisad area is within walking distance of downtown and the night market on Harrison Road.

A former American hill station, Camp John Hay covers 213 hectares of pine forest and watershed reservation south-east of the centre. It has a public golf course, walking trails, the historic Bell House and amphitheatre, and a calmer atmosphere than downtown, but you will need a taxi to get into town.
On the city's north-eastern outskirts, about 4 km from downtown, Mines View Park has an observation deck looking over the old Benguet Corporation gold and copper mines in Itogon and the Amburayan Valley. Local vendors set up around the park, and the area is a short taxi ride from the centre.

Baguio has no scheduled commercial flights: Loakan Airport lost its last service when PAL Express stopped flying from Cebu. Most visitors come by bus from Metro Manila, a trip of around five to seven hours depending on traffic. Victory Liner runs frequent services from its Pasay and Cubao terminals, and Genesis/Joybus and other operators also serve the route. By road, the expressways north from Manila (NLEX, SCTEX and TPLEX) connect with Kennon Road or the wider Marcos Highway for the final climb.
In the city, jeepneys and taxis are the main transport, and the downtown area around Session Road and Burnham Park is easy to cover on foot, though the streets are steep in places.
The Baguio City Market is the place for fresh produce, highland vegetables and local goods, and the night market on Harrison Road opens in the late evening. Staying within walking distance of Session Road means most errands need no transport at all.
Pack warm layers and rain gear: evenings are cool all year and the rainy season is very wet. Baguio is also part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network for its crafts and folk art, so wood carving and traditional weaving are part of everyday local shopping.
Baguio's highland climate keeps daily temperatures mostly between about 15°C and 23°C, some 7–10°C cooler than the lowlands. The dry season from November to April is the main tourist period, while June to October is very wet; the city records some of the highest annual rainfall in the country, and typhoons can disrupt mountain roads.
The Panagbenga Flower Festival runs from 1 February to the first Sunday of March, with a grand street dance, a float parade covered in flowers and Session Road in Bloom. Accommodation fills quickly around the parades, so book early if your dates overlap.
The downtown core is compact and walkable, while the larger parks and viewpoints are a short taxi or jeepney ride away. Most people arrive by bus from Manila, and our guide to what an aparthotel is explains how these stays work.

Session Road and the area around Burnham Park are the most convenient, as you can walk to the market, restaurants and parks. Camp John Hay and Mines View are quieter, greener options if you do not mind taking taxis.
