TAGAYTAY, Probably the Most Pleasant City in Asia!

The splendid Taal Volcano taken from Tagaytay

Tagaytay is a picturesque city perched on a ridge of 700 meters, overlooking the magnificent Taal lake and its active island volcano. South of Manila, it is one of the best day tours to discover the countryside. Its surrounding farm lands planted with flowers, vegetables, fruits, coffee and palm trees add to the charm of the city. A short drive from the Philippine capital of Manila, Tagaytay, where the scenic Taal volcano is located, it is a favorite destination of urban dwellers and tourists. The cool weather, the beautiful sights, and the quiet life are the exact opposite of Manila's city life.

I have been to Tagaytay a lot of times, if you really want to enjoy some cool weather near from Manila, Tagaytay is the best place to go. It's just one and half hour drive from Manila. Tagaytay offer lots of exciting activities where you and your family and friends can enjoy.
