It’s hello Tagaytay again for local tourists. After more than seven months since the first announcement of enhance community quarantine (ECQ) and travels were prohibited, it was a good news to everyone that Tagaytay is now open to tourists. Going to Tagaytay has been a part of people’s quick travel destinations especially for Manila residents. Coming out of a travel pause, let’s revisit our list of few things to enjoy in Tagaytay.
Stay at Taal Vista Hotel and enjoy the breathtaking view of Taal area
There are various hotels in Tagaytay that provide a breathtaking view of Taal Volcano and Lake. One of those is Taal Vista Hotel. Nestled on the Tagaytay Ridge, Taal Vista provides its guests a stunning view of the famous Taal Lake and Volcano. Previously known as Taal Vista Lodge, the hotel not only offers panoramic view of the Taal area, but also offers an excellent stay and dining experience- thanks to its friendly and accommodating staff.
Before Taal Vista Hotel became modern and pristine, the hotel had its share of historical growth that made its name. After their reconstructions and renovation several years ago, Taal Vista Hotel, Tagaytay City welcomed its guests and visitors with more facilities and amenities that are suitable for both business and leisure activities.. It remains a landmark in their historical chapter of Tagaytay City. For reservation, you can visit the their website at: http://www.taalvistahotel.com.
2. Visit Museo Orlina
Museo Orlina is the showcase of the artistry of internationally acclaimed Ramon Orlina, pioneer and foremost practitioner of glass sculpture in the country. Before Orlina, glass was largely appreciated only for its utilitarian function: as drinking vessels, window glass panes or automotive windshields. A visionary, Orlina saw beyond the humble origin of this industrial glass residue. The result is an exultant body of works that, through the decades, have dazzled the art scene and prized by numerous collectors. Triumphantly, Orlina has transformed the medium by elevating it to the dignity and respectability of art.
The Museo Orlina opens its door to the public, where visitors can view superb examples of Ramon Orlina’s scintillating artistry to their delight and enchantment. For more information, you can visit their website at: www.museo-orlina.org
