About Tagaytay
The City of Tagaytay is a popular destination in the south known for its magnificent scenery. This city overlooks Taal Volcano and Taal Lake, and its cooler climate and higher altitude make it appealing to both Filipinos and foreign travelers. When visiting Tagaytay, you can enjoy views of the volcano and lake from several vantage points.
There is a local legend about how Tagaytay got its name. According to this tale, a father and son went hunting for wild boars. When the boars turned to attack, the boy shouted, "Taga, Itay!" meaning "Cut, Father!" in Tagalog. People like the local farmers, hunters, wood gatherers, and residents heard this and talked about what happened for several days.
Eventually, this phrase echoed across the ridge and was eventually corrupted to "Tagaytay," which became the town's name. However, it’s more likely that the name derives from the Tagalog word for "ridge," reflecting the city's geography.
Historical records show that revolutionaries used Tagaytay’s ridges and forests as a refuge during the Philippine Revolution of 1898. The city was officially chartered in 1938, thanks to Representative Justiniano Montano and President Manuel L. Quezon, under the Commonwealth enactment.
Upon its chartering, Tagaytay has become a city often visited by those looking for an island escape. This city offers much, from picnic spots and parks with impressive views to intriguing museums and chocolatiers. So, if you plan to visit Tagaytay from Manila, you should plan to spend a few days exploring everything it has to offer the curious.

To help you with this, we’ve shared a few of the best travel tips you need to keep at the forefront of your mind during your travels.
Make sure you book accommodation in Tagaytay
Tagaytay is a popular destination, so you’ll want to book your accommodation in advance. But an important tip that not everyone realizes is that you need to make sure you book accommodation in the city, not on the outskirts.

Usually, a van will only leave the airport with no vacant seats. If you prefer more structure, you’ll want to take a bus or book with a private car service like Daytrip instead.
Prepare for traffic

Tagaytay and many of the places along the way often encounter traffic jams, which can slow down your travels, so be ready for this when you drive from Manila to Tagaytay. Once you’re in Tagaytay, walk or rent a bike to get around.

So, if you’re planning to travel from Manila to Tagaytay, you should consider the activities listed below. We’ve shared a few of the best things to do in this city to make you glad you decided to visit.
People's Park
People’s Park in the Sky is one of Tagaytay’s must-visit destinations. This park used to be known as the Palace in the Sky as it was built in 1979 and was supposed to be a guesthouse for US President Ronald Reagan before political turmoil put a pin in these plans. Nowadays, you can visit this park and get a bird's eye view of the highlands of Tagaytay. There is an entrance fee, so be prepared for that, but it's small and worth it.
Picnic Grove
If you want to enjoy a picnic in Tagaytay, one of the best places to visit is Picnic Grove. This destination is filled with picnic huts that overlook Taal Lake. When you visit, you can see the immaculate lake and enjoy something to eat alone or with friends or family as the breeze ruffles your hair. But there's more to this grove than simply a view.

Museo Orlina
The Museo Orlina is dedicated to glass practitioner Ramon Orlina. Its four levels house incredible native Filipino glass sculptures. You can tour the sculpture garden and the amphitheater before enjoying the spectacular view of Taal Lake from the museum's roof deck. It's a place art lovers will enjoy spending a few hours, so be prepared to take lots of pictures as you admire the glass works you won’t find anywhere else.
When is the best time to visit Tagaytay?
Unexpected rainfall and thunderstorms can quickly dampen your tour of Tagaytay. So the best time to visit this city is between March and May when the weather is best for outdoor activities like picnicking and hiking. However, this season can be crowded, as it's a popular spot for the locals to escape the heat while enjoying the city's relaxed atmosphere.
Yet, if you don’t want to deal with crowds, you should consider visiting between June and October; just prepare yourself for a lot of rain. There are fewer crowds, and prices are much lower, but bad weather is inevitable. Another great alternative is to visit in December. Temperatures can get as low as 66° F, but you'll find the city bedecked in Christmas lights and holiday decorations, and the Crosswinds Christmas Village at its finest.
