The Streets of Tagaytay City

Tagaytay City is a popular destination because of its cool weather and its scenic views of the Taal Volcano. There are also a lot of parks and interesting places to visit and see when you are in Tagaytay like The Picnic Grove, Paradizoo, The Residence Inn, Palace in the Sky, and Casino Filipino among others. But if you happen to be in Tagaytay City during a cool breezy day it is also a very good activity to do some walking and take a leisurely stroll along the streets of Tagaytay. This is a very safe activity and an enjoyable one. Local cops are very visible in the area to keep the orderliness and safety of the place and to assist visitors and tourists on their traveling activities. You will have a good time taking a stroll in the main roads of this small but very beautiful city. It is an ordinary sight to see people riding their horses in the streets of Tagaytay, whether they are locals carrying their wares and produce or tourists riding horses to sightsee. Along the streets you can see many stalls selling vegetables, fruits, and other produce freshly picked from their farms. There are also many “pasalubong” (souvenir and delicacies) stalls where you can pick up something to give to your friends when you get back to Manila or wherever is your place of origin. I personally love going to the pottery and vases stores that are now sprouting in Tagaytay City, they have very colorful and beautifully designed vases of all shapes and sizes that you can proudly place in your home. It is also a delight to see the lovely plants and flowers being sold at very reasonable prices in the small garden stalls. These stalls are many and are usually grouped together in one place making it very easy for buyers to pick what they want and the place looks stunning with a lot of flowering plants adorning the place. There are also many friendly vendors in Tagaytay City that carry their products in baskets and “bilao” (round winnowing basket carried on top of the head) and do not be afraid if they approach you to show you their products. And of course, aside from the health benefits you get from taking a leisurely walk in Tagaytay you can also enjoy the panoramic view of the Taal Volcano and Lake which is quite visible in most part of the main roads of Tagaytay City.

These colorful vases with beautiful designs would be a good addition to your home.
I just love looking at them.

Casino Filipino in Tagaytay City

One of the most popular casinos in the Philippines is located in Tagaytay City. It is situated in front of Taal Vista Hotel and just beside McDonald’s. People from different places try their luck in this place when they are in Tagaytay City, still others would specifically head to Tagaytay City to play in this place. Aside from the many casino games offered in Casino Filipino Tagaytay like baccarat, super six, poker, roulette, and slot machine among other games this place also offers its guests a lot of entertainment and places of fine dining. Casino Filipino-Tagaytay also holds special events like concerts of local and foreign artists and charities. One will not miss the impressive Casino-Filipino in Tagaytay as its structure has a very large colorful crown that travelers can easily see when on they are traveling on the roads of Tagaytay. In front of the main lobby there is a beautifully landscaped small garden with a charming wishing well. People would love to throw a few coins with their wishes on this well for good luck before trying out their luck inside the casino. Still others would just like to have their picture taken in this beautiful place.

It was quite a cloudy day when we had our trip. But the weather was as usual cool which made Tagaytay popular among tourists. This is the view of the Casino Filipino from the roads leading to it. Easy to spot because of its impressive structure.

Streamers of their upcoming events. A Gabby Concepcion concert? Can he really sing now? Well, just to see him again would be a many woman's dream... until now, I guess. And the other one features Francine Prieto, that would definitely be a one hot event.

View from the front gate of Casino-Filipino Tagaytay, you can see customers coming in. I guess I'm wrong when I thought casino players and guests only come in during night time.

And this is the charming Pagcor wishing well I'm babbling about. Better throw a coin and make a wish before trying your luck. Wishes do come true you know.

From the background you can see one of the few buildings being constructed in Tagaytay, proof that this beautiful little place is attracting many investors in the area.

It would have been nice if I had a photo taken riding that horse-drawn carriage.

Got a hold of Casino-Filipino Tagaytay's events for this month, in case, you'd be in the area and interested to have some good time.
