Tagaytay

Tagaytay is a city in the province of Cavite in the Philippines. It is a major tourist hub, with breathtaking scenery and cool climate. Taal Volcano, a beautiful volcano and lake complex, generally attracts both local residents and foreigners to this city, despite being part of Batangas. Its proximity to Metro Manila draws many urbanites during the peak season, so, be prepared.

Tagaytay Halal Travel Guide

Rising at about 600|m|sp=us, Tagaytay provides a mildly cool refuge from the cacophony, pollution and stress of Metro Manila. To the average tourist, local or foreign and the scenic Taal Volcano comes to mind, despite its location in nearby Batangas, but the tourist boom has led to further discovery of its hidden gems and the growth of tourism-oriented restaurants and retail outlets. It is unofficially called the "Second Summer Capital of the Philippines" by local residents and tourists in comparison to Baguio; official statistics as of 2022 record 500,000 tourist arrivals. Tagaytay becomes crowded during Christmas and Holy Week, so the main highways to the city becomes jammed.

Name

Tagaytay's name is derived from the Tagalog word for "mountain ridge", but there is an urban legend circulating by word of mouth to describe the origin of the city's name. The tale describes the orgin of the name "Tagaytay" as coming from the yells of a boy who were hunting with his father on the location of the current city. The boy shouted "Taga, itay" after his father hunted and caught one, and this words echoed at the mountain, that led to the name.

How is the Climate in Tagaytay

Tagaytay has a mild climate and dramatic scenery, which makes it popular with residents of Manila. Average temperatures range from 22 °C (71 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F). There are three seasons, a cool dry season, hot dry season (summer) and the wet season. Peak seasons are the cool dry season, which includes the Christmas and New Year period, and the hot dry season, which includes the Holy Week peak period.

Economy

Tagaytay's economy used to rely on agriculture, as seen through the numerous pineapple plantations found in the rural areas, but tourism eventually changed the face of the highland city. The tourism industry has resulted to a building boom, with towering condomiums and upscale malls being constructed by real estate conglomerates, especially Ayala and SM. The sudden rise of those are negatively received as failure in urban planning, and there are calls to regulate such developments.

A portion of Diokno Highway in Lemery is under construction as of February 2023, so prepare for queues. Travellers from Batangas may use alternate routes. When you are coming from the Taal-Lemery area by car, you may take these alternate routes:

Palico-Balayan-Batangas Road (Route 436), and Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road (Routes 407 and 410)
Banaybanay-Mojon-Cuenca Road (Route 410), Jose P. Laurel Highway (Route 4, from Banaybanay to Tambo, in Lipa), STAR Tollway, and Tanauan-Talisay Road and Ligaya Drive (Route 421)
Taal Lake Circumferential Road, and Ligaya Drive, or Laurel - Canyon Woods Road, Diokno Highway, and Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road

Most tourists to Tagaytay bring a car, making all major road entry points packed during times. From Manila, taking the expressway is the quickest way to reach the city, but the toll rates by the operators can add to you trip's expenses, aside from gas and food stopovers. Using non-tolled national roads can save you of the additional costs of using the toll expressways, but expect traffic congestion, as business establishments, schools, and residential areas mostly line them. Parked vehicles can slow the trip. On rural roads, local fiestas or funeral processions can disrupt traffic, especially on narrow ones.

Major highways that serve Tagaytay are Aguinaldo Highway (N410), Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road (N420), and Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road (N410). Other national roads include the unnumbered Crisanto Mendoza delos Reyes Avenue, Indang-Tagaytay Road (N406), and Ligaya Drive (N421). Being national roads lined with houses, businesses, schools and frequent intersections, traffic flow are usually slow, and slower in the weekend and peak seasons. Most of the national roads are now marked by route numbers on shield-shaped signs that you can follow when driving, but these are still not present on all maps, especially online, app-based maps, which can be used for GPS navigation.

Travel on a Bus in Tagaytay

Tagaytay is well served by buses from Metro Manila, but delays from traffic jams remain. Most buses to Tagaytay travel through Aguinaldo Highway and are mostly services to Nasugbu which make a stopover in the city. Buses going to Tagaytay can be found where they show "via Tagaytay" on their signboards.

Major bus companies with service to Tagaytay include

Celyrosa Trans. - Provides service from its Pasay terminal. Trips are slower because it makes more stops in Cavite.

Stay Safe

Tagaytay is a safe place to visit, and the local residents are very nice, just beware of the usual things in Tagaytay such as scammers and pickpockets; in short exercise the usual level of common sense when travelling.

Beware of the obvious scams and ensure that if you are visiting Taal volcano or any other attractions with guides that they have the proper identification usually administered by the Philippine Tourist Board.

As with all tourist destinations and they like to "plus plus" everything, that is add the taxes and the tourist fee on later, so make sure that you ask for the complete price inclusive of tourist fee. It is recommended that if you visit Taal Volcano and you go horseback riding, that you demand to pay your guide a tip and forego paying ₱500 as a tour guide fee at the ticket office as this ensures that your working guide actually gets paid as they get undercut from the ticket office; a tip of ₱200 usually suffices.
