The Baywalk in Puerto Princesa is not far from the city center, but it is actually a "seaside avenue" by the bay. The sea here is quiet, and after 5 pm, it will become a leisure place for local residents, full of atmosphere. Recommend everyone to come here to enjoy the tranquility before sunset.Puerto Princesa · 25.5km from downtown

The Holy Spirit's Conception Cathedral is a very famous "Blue Cathedral" in Puerto Princesa, which can be reached by walking westward along Rizal Street. The church was built in 1872. The main building is light blue. It is a very beautiful blue building. The sunlight through the blue glass makes the church a blue world. There are many statues of Filipino celebrities in front of the church, and many local residents will come to the square in front for recreation. The glass in the church is transparent and very bright. Although it is not so luxurious and complicated, it has another fresh taste.Puerto Princesa · 25.9km from downtown

This natural marvel is located in Puerto Princesa, Philippines. This summer, consider this in your bucket list and dazzle yourself with its spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formations.

This cathedral in the heart of Puerto Princesa is located right next to the Plaza Cuartel. They hold mass in both English and Filipino multiple times a day and is decorated with impressive wooden arches and paintings of the 12 apostles on the roof.
