Tagaytay is known as the “Country’s 2nd Summer Capital” because of the cool climate there. But the city is also known for two more things: First is for the scenic views overlooking Taal Lake and Taal Volcano. Second, is for the leisurely travel that can be experienced as soon as one who is driving a car or commuting on a jeepney or bus reaches Silang, Cavite or Sta. Rosa, Laguna on the way to Tagaytay. The scenery going up Tagaytay is best enjoyed with the car air-conditioner turned off while the car windows are rolled down. The cool breeze that touches the skin of the traveler is an unmistakable sign that the Southern city of breeze and peace is near.
