Tagaytay

Located just over two hours by car from Manila, this scenic tourist spot is an active volcano island floating in a caldera lake. The low temperatures and cool atmosphere reminds one of Karuizawa in Japan. It is a place where wealthy Filipinos have their vacation homes, but there are many restaurants to choose from, from low-cost to high-end, so you can have a meal that suits your budget. There is also a mall in the center, so you can enjoy shopping even if it rains.
