Batangas City

Batangas is best-known for the outdoor activities that it offers to its visitors. It’s the perfect place for beach lovers, mountain climbers, and even history buffs. It’s also known as a foodie haven because many of the Philippines’ favorite delicacies like lomi, bulalo, goto, and tawilis originated from here.

Batangas is a great place to visit all year round. If you plan to enjoy its cooler weather, the months of December and January are the best time to stop by and try activities like horseback riding, trail walking, and just exploring the area. If you’re here to frolic at Batangas’ many beaches, schedule your getaway from February to March.

Batangas is a huge province offering different kinds of experiences in every municipality. Head to Nasugbu if you’re looking for beaches with fancy accommodations or mountains to hike. Mabini, on the other hand, is more suited for scuba divers and snorkeling enthusiasts. For history buffs, the heritage town of Taal can be a great option, too.
