Tagaytay City is just a few hours away from Manila, thus making it one of the fave get away of Manileños who are tired of the city life. I had the chance to visit this place again and still love its beauty and cold weather.
Transportation is easy and the place is very accesible. You can ride a bus from Pasay going to Nasugbu and ask the driver to drop you off in "rotonda" where you can ride tricycles or jeepneys to go to the Picnic Groove or Palace in the sky. Or is you live near Alabang, you could ride a van to Tagaytay in the bus terminal near HM transit.Fare: P75
It was August when I visit Tagaytay. It's not that cold as I've expected but still you can breathe into the fresh air and be amazed by its beauty.
First destination: Picnic groove.
We reached the place at 9am, just an hour ride from Alabang. Upon reaching the place, the locals are very familiar with tourist and they are already offering rides and packages going to the Taal Volcano. We rode a tricycle and ask the driver to drop us in Picnic Groove. Fare: P15 Entrance P50

Second Destination:
Palace in the Sky
From Picnic Groove, you can ride a jeep going to the Palace in the Sky, which should have been a guest house built for the US president during the Marcos era.
Nothing special in this place except for the scenic view of the city which you can capture here.
