5 things to do during the rainy season in Baguio City
Try the different soups in Baguio
Baguio is famous for its cool climate. That means, wherever you go and whatever restaurant you visit, you are sure to have a delicious variety of “sabaw.” You can either order in and enjoy that cup of soup from the comfort of your home or you could call some friends and visit either a local karinderya that serves mami or bulalo or go for some Japanese Ramen, or Chinese lomi. There’s so much to choose from!
Visit a local coffee shop
The best thing about Baguio is that it has a wide variety of coffee shops to visit each with its own unique theme. Instead of just moping around the house, choose one or two coffee shops that you prefer, bring a book or bring your iPad and enjoy a movie or two while sipping that cup of locally brewed coffee!
Go for a Staycation
During the rainy season, hotels offer special rates for tourists and residents! Take advantage of the lower rates during the season and go for a staycation. You get free Wifi, a comfy bed, and free breakfast. The best part? You get housekeeping service which means you don’t need to clean after yourself.
Enjoy the cuddle weather at home
People come to Baguio to enjoy the weather. If you’re not one who enjoys going out during the rainy season, you can always stay in and enjoy the cuddle weather. Baguio is the Honeymoon Capital after all. If you are making reservations in the city during this season, might as well choose one that is far from the city center and go with hotels that are close to the trees with a view of the mountain.
