Regardless of the season—whether you want to escape the summer heat or enjoy the chilly weather during the cooler months—the City of Pines has become one of the favorite destinations of weekend warriors for a quick and relaxing getaway.
There are libraries, museums, art galleries and scenic spots to visit but what makes one’s Baguio experience complete is staying in one of the charming places with themed rooms and intricately designed interiors that’ll let you experience the rustic country living unique to the city. Here are some accommodations you can consider:

Lucia’s Bed and Breakfast is a shabby-chic place that reflects Baguio’s laidback atmosphere Located in the quiet neighborhood of St. Joseph Village, the B&B is just a few minutes’ walk from the Botanical Garden and some food places in Newtown Plaza Commercial Complex.
