A contemporary castle and an antiquated stone wall stand in opposite directions and dominate the about 6,000 square meter territory. The contemporary castle, which is made of hollow blocks and cement, is engraved with paths that are interrupted by statues, picture ops, and viewing decks. It was completed with a food court that mostly served Filipino foods.

The stone wall, on the other hand, is reminiscent of the Igorot people’s rock-laying abilities found in the rice terraces. The Fertility Stone Tower, the Temple of Kabunyan, Bangan’s Dome, the Tower of Gatan, the Face in the Rock, and many more may be seen as you ascend.

Other attractions are the Igorot Gold Mine, the Wishing Well, and the Igorot Golden Bridge. Soon, the park will also have life-size statues of prominent Igorots.

33. Keep it Moving with Baguio Walking Tour

Because of its cool weather, Baguio is one of those places that is ideal for a stroll! And, while you may easily come across beautiful and unusual treasures, you can also learn about history or uncover attractive sites while you stroll about, especially if you’re accompanied by a local guide.

If you want to learn more about the areas you wish to see, you may join one of Baguio’s guided walking tours.

34. Scare Yourself at Diplomat Hotel (Joke!)

Address: Dominican Hill, Diplomat Road, Baguio City. The best way to get there is to take a cab from the city center.
Opening Hours: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Daily). The opening hours might change, so please check the official website or Facebook page before visiting.
Entrance Fee: P10 (adult), P5 (kids)

The Dominican Hill Retreat House, officially known as the Diplomat Hotel, is a 17-hectare property perched atop the Dominican Hill. It was initially erected in the early part of the twentieth century as a retreat home for Dominican priests and nuns until World War II, when the Japanese took possession and transformed it into a military garrison and war jail.

The Diplomat Hotel reopened and functioned throughout the 1970s and 1980s after extensive renovations and refurbishing. Given its history, particularly the tragedies of WWII, it has garnered popularity for paranormal phenomena, frequently ranking among the Philippines’ most haunted locations.

The municipal government of Baguio has proclaimed the entire hill area a history and historical landmark, and it has been renamed Dominican Heritage Hill and Nature Park. The property is being renovated and developed for tourism, and it is available for photoshoots, filming, wedding receptions, and other events and gatherings.
