Things to do in Tagaytay City

Tagaytay City, Cavite, Tara...Let's go...

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila and want a cool breeze of fresh air like in Baguio City, then it's time to go to Tagaytay City, Cavite. It is approximately 51 kilometers (31.7 miles) from Metro Manila or less than 2 hours of travel. It is a place where you can do outdoor and other recreational activities from horseback riding to zipline and cable car ride at Picnic Grove, have a 360 degree view of the entire province of Cavite from atop Palace in the Sky, take a look at the small but active Taal Volcano not to mention boat riding at Taal Lake and fun amusement rides at Sky Ranch. And you wont go hungry because there's a lot of restaurants lined up along Tagaytay-Nasugbu highway. Also include Pink Sisters Convent, Paradizoo and Puzzle Mansion as other points of interest when you're in Tagaytay.

The entrance fee at Picnic Grove is Php50.00/person. There are also cottages you can rent from Php100.00 to Php500.00 depending on the size of it. Since there was a lot of people, we just decided to have lunch inside our van. Activities at Picnic Grove includes zipline, horse back riding, cable car ride, hiking the eco trail and picture taking with the creepy reptiles.
