Baker's Hill
Baker's Hill is one of Puerto Princesa's most popular family attractions: a hilltop estate combining a bakery, gardens, souvenir shops, and panoramic viewpoints. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with topiaries, life-size statues, and flower gardens.
The main draw is the bakery, famous for its hopia (Filipino flaky pastries filled with mung bean, ube, or pork). These make excellent pasalubong (souvenir gifts) and are best bought fresh. The hilltop also has a restaurant with views over the city and Honda Bay.
Entrance is free, and it's a pleasant place to spend an hour walking the gardens and sampling pastries. Popular with both tourists and locals, especially on weekends.
-
Charter a tricycle from the city proper or the airport, about P300 for up to three people, roughly 20 minutes.
-
Cheaper option: take a jeepney or multicab bound for Sta. Monica along the national highway, about P16 per person, then walk up Mitra Road.
-
Tricycles are not allowed on the national highway itself, which is why a chartered fare costs several times more than a downtown hop.
