Just like Baguio, it has also some pine trees and flower gardens. Unlike Baguio however, Tagaytay City is not yet congested. It has still many open spaces but not for long.
Residential subdivisions are sprouting everywhere and soon, buildings will have nowhere to go but up literally. The city is a favorite location for spiritual retreats. Several chapels, convents, seminaries, and meditation centers are found in the city.
