 Baguio Souvenirs

 The Kennon Road - without doubt, the most scenic highway to Baguio. Looking at it from above makes you appreciate your journey going up. and realized how far you have reached.

 Our Lady of Lourdes - Catholic shrine and place of meditation in Baguio. It is located on a high hill in the western part of the city where you will find the image of the Lady of Lourdes. On your way going up, you can appreciate a panoramic view of La Union.

 Burnham Park - Centered around a man-made lake located at the heart of the city.  You can row a boat, have a picnic, attend an outdoor concert, watch a football game, go biking, or just take a leisurely stroll around the park.



 Mines View Park - From the observation deck of the park a breathtaking panoramic view of Benguet's gold and copper mines and the surrounding mountains unfolds before you. It is a spectacular sight to behold and should not be missed when visiting Baguio. You can rent costumes and take pictures like you're an igorot, too. You can pose with the St. Bernard dogs who are camera whores also!

Wright Park - Riding a pony a favorite!

The Mansion - The elaborate main gate of the Mansion is said to be a replica of that at Buckingham Palace in London.
Strawberry Picking (La Trinidad, Benguet) - Experience picking ripe strawberries and taste the sweetness of it afterwards. It's a heart-shaped madness!
