Bacolod

The best time to visit Bacolod is during the MassKara Festival in October, but the city is enjoyable year-round. The weather is generally pleasant, and you can avoid the peak season crowds by visiting during the shoulder months.

Don't miss the chance to try Chicken Inasal, a grilled chicken marinated in annatto oil, and the famous Napoleones pastry. Other local favorites include batchoy, kansi, and various seafood dishes. Bacolod's food scene is a highlight of any visit.

You can easily get around Bacolod by taxi, jeepney, or tricycle. Taxis are readily available and offer a comfortable way to travel. Jeepneys and tricycles are more affordable options for shorter distances and offer a more local experience.
