The city of Legazpi is located in the Albay province in the region of Bicol, most famous as the gateway to Mount Mayon, a volcano that’s famed as the most symmetrical in the world. The city is served by
Legazpi Airport, which is only about five kilometers outside of downtown and is therefore within reach of a large selection of hotels and other accommodations.
Legazpi is a great destination especially for travelers looking to do some hiking and camping, as the Mayon Volcano trail is one of the main attractions of the area, often offered as an excursion by many of the local tour guides. Visitors who have no desire to camp or hike to the volcano can also visit the
Cagsawa Ruins, which have the added bonus of a great view of the volcano lurking eerily in the background. When Mount Mayon erupted many years ago, lava and ash from the eruption buried what was once a church and is now a popular tourist attraction.
The
Bicol Heritage Park is a great choice to spend a few hours while visiting this city, especially a good idea for those traveling with children. The attractions of Legazpi are many and varied, and the smart traveler will utilize the help and advice of hotel staff and locals for information about how to best see as much of what this city has to offer.
