The best time to come here is during the Panagbenga season. That is on the 3rd week of February. All types of flowers are made into different types of float the reflects Baguio's culture and tradition. But mind you, Baguio is jampacked with tourists from all sides of the island. That's definitely what to expect during this season.
If you're allergic to people, better visit Baguio during the off-season. That's after summer and before Christmas. That's between July - October. The temperature here is not that cold and neither warm. Enough for a cooler experience outside the metro.

But if your planning to go to the season of Panagbenga (3rd week of February), Club Tourists suggests to reserve a month or two (2) before because man, we guarantee you, the whole Baguio City is flooded with people! Unless you might wanna try the grass in Burnham Park! :P
