Jay Travel: GOT A LONG BUCKETLIST FOR THE YEAR? A popular tourist destination in the Philippines for years has been Baguio. This mountain city has drawn travelers throughout the year, but especially during the summer and major holidays like Christmas and New Year's because of its cool temperatures, pine-dominated landscapes, and generally romantic ambience.

Jay Travel: I guess the strawberry bean curd and ice cream are the highlights here😅 food is always better than a human model! Hmnnnn you think so too?🤪 (Not if you have pretty face😉🤣) P.S - was tempted to upload my selfie dressed like the Ifugao ethnic group but probably y'all just gonna laugh so nevermind!😂 #burnhamparkbaguiocity

Day 2 | Afternoon

When time permits after visiting Burnham Park, don’t forget pay a visit to Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral.

Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral

Recommended Length of Stay: 1.0-2.0 Hours

Location: Benguet, Baguio, Luzon, Philippines

OurLadyofAtonementCathedral is on a high hillside, the building is tall and majestic, the interior decoration is very beautiful, it is worth a visit.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Laine LG: Attend a mass at the cathedral and enjoy roaming around its grounds after. It is near Porta Vaga Mall and Session Road, so finding a café to have a snack after is not going to be difficult. You can also try climbing the steep stairs connecting Session Road to the cathedral grounds.
