Transient Near Botanical Garden Baguio — ₱799 (2026)

20-min walk or 5-min taxi to Botanical Garden — Igorot huts, suspension bridges, themed gardens. Rooms ₱799/night (2026), free WiFi. Book VOS.

Baguio Botanical Garden — officially the Baguio Arboretum — is one of the city's most underrated green spaces. Unlike Burnham Park's open lawns, the Botanical Garden is a layered, forested experience: winding paths through themed garden sections, a collection of native Igorot huts you can enter and photograph, wooden suspension bridges crossing small ravines, and a bronze sculpture walk depicting traditional Cordillera life. It's also known as the 'Lovers' Garden' among locals, though it's popular with families and solo travelers alike. The garden is about 1.5 km from the city center — a scenic 20-minute walk along Leonard Wood Road or a quick 5-minute taxi.
