The 10 Best Free Things to do in Baguio, Luzon

March 31, 2022 Oliva Fomby

Baguio, perched high in the Cordillera Central Mountains, is a great place to escape the heat of the Philippine lowlands. Camp John Hay, originally built as a recreation area for U.S. soldiers, now is a full-fledged resort complete with a world-class golf course. Definitely stop at the city market, where you can buy almost anything (just be prepared to haggle).

Pink Sisters’ Convent and Chapel

Reviewed By samboymacalma9 - Baguio, Philippines

Of the many churches that Baguio is known for, Pink Sister's Convent and Chapel is well-known and adored as it has been a witness to any answered prayers in any form - personal supplication, professional promotion, examinations, health and wellness wishes, and even relationships. An hour mass at the said church will surely make you feel spiritually full. The solemnity of the mass which is accentuated by the penchant of the sisters in chorus creates a very heavenly atmosphere that sets the tone by which deep personal prayers are uttered and sent.

Reviewed By FirstTimerHochiminh - Pasay, Philippines

Whether you are a catholic or a non-catholic visiting the Grotto is highly recommended. Aside from fulfillment of going up catching your breath, once you reach the icon of the Lady of Lourdes, the breathtaking view of the nearby area and the grotto itself is mesmerizing. You will never regret going up when your are already on your way down the hill. Say a prayer in the chapel, light a candle or place a prayer request in the envelopes provided, if you are a believer then its a must.

Baguio City Market

Reviewed By hklbrodis - Edmond, United States

Took some foreign friends here and they enjoyed it. It's been years since I was here. It looks waaay better now. People are really friendly. They were giving honest regular prices to the foreigners (unlike other tourist places I've been in around the world where they rob the foreigners!) I accidentally dropped some money when I paid for something I bought. A stranger eventually found me and handed me the money I dropped. Vendors were really nice with giving discounts. Don't be shy in asking. Best place to buy coffee. They buy coffee from farmers (cooperative) so it's as fair trade and local as you can get (unless you buy straight from farmers). I bought some ground coffee beans in a small vaccum foil packaging so I can bring it back to my teachers in America. If you're looking for quality hand-woven Sagada bags, here's where you can find them. Just ask around and they'll point you to upstairs stalls where you can buy them. They're a bit pricey but the quality is definitely worth it! If you want pasalubongs, you can get them from here too. No need to go to the convent to buy their special ube jam.

Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral

Reviewed By teamryce - Quezon City, Philippines

After visiting Glenn 50's Diner, Laperal White House, Mines View, been to SM Baguio to buy some new clothes and check out what's on sale, we then headed to the famous church in Baguio, the Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral beside Session road. We were supposed to head to this church upon arrival to Baguio City to give thanks for our safe trip way up to the city, but unfortunately, we came in too early too late for the church mass. And unfortunately again, when we got to the church, there's no scheduled mass in the afternoon. I really loved this church from the first time we visited this church a long time ago, back when my status is still "In a Relationship" and not "Married". I have this dream that someday when we decided to renew our vows and finally decided to have a church wedding ceremony, we will be blessed in this church. Oh, what a dream. The church is located in Upper Session Baguio City, the church architecture is very romantic and vintage, not your typical kind of church, that's why most women dream of having their wedding done here. Apart from being a heritage site, the distinctive pink facade is very feminine, hihihi, so girly. And how about the aisle? Oh, the aisle is very ideal for women who want their wedding to be very dramatic and considering their long aisle who most girls consider on their wedding day.
