What is in this plan

Day 1: Baguio viewpoints, parks and evening market

**Stay:** The family spent two nights in an affordable transient house near Camp 8, described as about five minutes from Burnham Park and within walking distance of markets. It had two rooms, a kitchen for cooking and a terrace with a view. The creator found it through a Facebook group and recommends checking the property's Facebook page. **Evening:** Session Road's Night Market was said to open at 9 p.m.; expect crowds around the clothing stalls and street-food vendors.

    A quick photo stop on the way into Baguio. The family found it uncrowded enough to take pictures without much waiting.

  2. Wright ParkWright Park, Baguio City, Philippines

    There is no entrance fee to the park. Horseback riding and horse-photo opportunities are paid options; the family rented a horse for 30 minutes for ₱400.

  3. The MansionThe Mansion (Mansion House), Baguio City, Philippines

    A walk uphill from Wright Park, with stairs that can feel like a cardio workout if you are not used to the climb. The family found the clean, peaceful grounds and fountains worthwhile for photos.

  4. Mines View ParkMines View Park, Baguio City, Philippines

    The overlook is free to visit; tipping is optional. Take time for the mountain views and souvenir stalls. It is high and exposed, and can be cold and windy, so bring a warm layer.

  5. Good Taste RestaurantGood Taste Restaurant, Baguio City, Philippines

    A popular dinner stop for affordable food and generous portions that work well for sharing; the family said some individual meals could nearly serve two. Expect a wait when it is busy.

  6. Burnham ParkBurnham Park, Baguio City, Philippines

    The family returned after dark to rent a tandem bike and enjoyed riding in the cool evening air. A bike for two cost ₱100; the rental duration was unclear.

  7. Session Road Night MarketSession Road Night Market, Baguio City, Philippines

    The night market runs along Session Road and was said to open at 9 p.m. Find ukay-ukay stalls selling jackets and sweaters alongside street food, but be ready for dense crowds.

Day 2: La Trinidad temples, hillside colors and strawberries

Allow time for the stops between Baguio and La Trinidad. At Bell Church, stairs lead toward a higher viewpoint; the family skipped the climb because it was sunny.

    A brief photo stop for the colorful homes arranged along the hillside.

  3. La Trinidad Strawberry FarmLa Trinidad Strawberry Farm, La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines

    Pick up fresh strawberries and souvenirs. The creator chose ready-packed strawberries as the more affordable, convenient option, while noting that visitors can try picking for the experience. Vegetables in the area were also recommended as cheaper than those at Baguio markets.

Day 3: Camp John Hay and final Baguio stops

The family returned to Burnham Park before heading home to explore more of the park, including its free children's playground. For last-minute pasalubong, they also walked along Session Road to Victoria Bakery.
