Tagaytay City is located in the province of Cavite in the Philippines. This city is one of the most popular tourist destinations within the country and is only 55 kilometers away from Manila by road. Tagaytay City provides a spectacular view of the Taal Volcano. The city is also considered to be the second summer capital of the country, next to Baguio City, because of its cool climate due to its high altitude.
Tagaytay City lies on top of the Tagaytay Ridge, which, at 640 meters above sea level, is the highest point in Cavite. The ridge provides a spectacular view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano in Batangas. This view supports Tagaytay's main industry, which is tourism.
The weather in Tagaytay is one of the primary attractions for people to live outside Manila, but the spectacular view of Taal Volcano is undoubtedly the biggest tourism draw.
Tagaytay, considered as the country's second summer capital because of its crisp and cool climate all year around, is a treasure box of pleasure points in by itself.
For this reason, Tagaytay with its cool weather, balmy winds and foggy mists is called the "second summer capital" of the country after Baguio City.
