Tagaytay has a well-linked road network, including national highways that connect Metro Manila to Laguna, Batangas, and, of course, Cavite. Secondary roads also adjoin key cities, particularly in the northwest part, such as Mendez, Silang, Alfonso, and Indang; southwest parts like Sta. Rosa and Calamba; and south, including Talisay.
SLEX (South Luzon Expressway) primarily serves the city through Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa and Tagaytay-Calamba roads. The first one passes Sta. Rosa and Silang, while the second, Tagaytay Highlands and Calamba Premiere International Park. This is also the main route if you are coming from Laguna, going to Tagaytay.
Tagaytay City is a favored destination because of its cold climate. Tourists seeking Taal Volcano and Taal Lake’s charming views make the city their favorite place, especially during summer, the holidays, and Holy Week. As such, the Department of Tourism (DOT) cited the city as the top tourist destination in the Philippines in 2015. It is also one of DOT’s priority areas for tourism development. Likewise, it is Calabarzon’s tourist center.
