Question:
Answer:
What is the ideal time and place for travelers to escape Manila's summer heat in Tagaytay??
For a refreshing Tagaytay breeze, plan a visit between September and February - particularly December to February - when temperatures tend to be at their coolest and crowds tend to be smaller and temperatures warmer than average. Weekdays without holidays offer less crowding while still experiencing wonderful weather!
