Known to be the country’s summer capital (second only to Baguio) more than anything else, Tagaytay proves that it is more than just your annual holiday retreat. While Tagaytay may prove to be a more compelling vacation than a residential option, there is a myriad of reasons why it is regarded as one of the country’s best cities in terms of livability.
Apart from being one of the most popular and widely visited tourist destinations in the Philippines (it is not called the Mañileno’s typical playground for nothing; after all), Tagaytay is a charming little city, be it for newlyweds or retirees looking to find a new home. Tranquil, peaceful and captivating are just a few words to describe and characterize this Northern town, but most notable of them all is the city’s cooler climate.
As it sits along a ridge that runs along the north side of the beautiful Taal Lake and the Taal Volcano, one can expect the air to be crisp, clean, and fresh, with the climate mild. It is one of the few cities that do not require any air-conditioning at all since temperatures are comfortable throughout the year. With this, residents find it easier to enjoy outdoor activities than they would in the metropolis. Tagaytay weekends can be spent either horseback riding, golfing, swimming, or gardening, to name a few.
Although it is about only an hour’s drive away from the bustling Manila metropolis, there is a very different ambiance. This small mountain-resort town reminds you of laidback afternoons spent at the farm, with its surrounding verdant greenery and picturesque scenery. Beyond being the preferred wedding locale for affianced couples, most OFWs, expats, and retirees would want to live. Tagaytay proves to be a town of warm comfort that welcomes you back, even after long, grueling hours at work.
Facts about Tagaytay
- Tagaytay is actually a part of Cavite, Philippines.
- According to local lore and legends, the city got its name from the word “taga” which means to cut and “itay” which means father. It was said that a father and son were on a boar hunt when the animal they were hunting turned suddenly and attacked them. As the boar charged towards the father, the song cried “Taga Itay!” repeatedly, which echoed in the alleys of the ridge. His shots then became a source of conversation for several days in the countryside.
- A more feasible but less colorful etymology of the city’s name is its actual translation. Tagaytay in Tagalog means ridge, and as the town is atop a mountainside ride, it has been aptly named so.
- Individuals who are opposed to living in hot cities will love Tagaytay’s year-round cold weather, which is mostly attributed to its location. The city sits atop the Tagaytay ridge, and as the city is elevated 634 meters above-level, Tagaytay’s average temperature rarely goes any higher than 24 degrees (save for the summer season). In fact, the lowest recorded temperature ever was 18 degrees Celsius back in January 2014.
- The highest point of the city is where People’s Park in the sky is located, which is situated on Mount Sungay.
- A surprising fact about the Taal Volcano is that it is not a part of Tagaytay at all, despite getting a picturesque view of the scenic lake from atop the Tagaytay ridge. The Taal Lake and Taal Volcano form part of Batangas and in the town of Taal, to be precise.
- It is one of the Philippine cities with the most active wedding industry, considering how most couples who wish to have a destination wedding would want to wed there. It has been named one of the best and most popular destination wedding spots in the Philippines (right next to Cebu and Boracay).
- The country’s largest Ferris wheel is located in Tagaytay. Aptly named as The Sky Eye, this Ferris Wheel stands at 63 meters or 207 feet at its highest point, which offers riders an excellent vantage point of the city.
- Tagaytay is considered the cleanest tourist destination in the country. While there has been a successful attempt in Boracay’s cleanup, Tagaytay’s local government took it a step further even back in the day, by banning the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags on dry goods. Additionally, Styrofoam is banned, and the use of plastics on wet goods is heavily regulated. In this regard, plastic straws and utensils are not something you will find here.
- According to the local census, Tagaytay’s population is 71, 181 as of 2015, with 34 barangays.
