Tagaytay City, with its world-famous view of the Taal Volcano, is one of the country’s favorite destinations for locals and foreigners alike. For many city dwellers, it’s their best bet for a quick weekend getaway to just relax and recharge their bodies because it is only an hour away from Metro Manila and for its cool climate all year round. With its rolling hills, cool climate and clean air—Tagaytay is a center for leisure activities such as horseback riding, camping, sightseeing, and has a large concentration of retreat houses and country clubs.

Tagaytay City is in the Province of Cavite, in Luzon. It lies approximately 56 kilometers south of Metro Manila and it overlooks three major geographic landmarks—the Manila Bay on the North, Taal volcano and Taal lake on the south and Laguna Bay on the east. Tagaytay is connected to the Metro Manila and the province of Batangas by a National Highway. Roads from municipalities such as Calamba, Sta. Rosa in Laguna from the northeast and the towns of Talisay, Batangas from the south lead up to Tagaytay.
