Lion's head: The famous Baguio landmark found along Kennon Road.

Baguio is known as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. The city�s high elevation and altitude causes it to have a mild temperature, one that is relatively lower (eight degrees cooler on the average) than the rest of the country. It is a highly urbanized city in Benguet province under the Cordillera Administrative Region in northern Luzon.

The land established by the Americans in 1900 can be accessed through three main roads: Kennon Road, Naguillan Road, and Marcos Highway. However, if you�re traveling on air, there is the Loakan Airport.

This city is known for its crisp vegetables, tasty strawberries, and colorful flowers. Every February, it celebrates the Panagbenga flower festival.
