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.
