When in Bacolod: 9 Things You Shouldn't Miss in the Philippines' City of Smiles! (Attractions, Food, Festival & More!)



Bacolod is a highly urbanized, capital city of Negros Occidental province in Western Visayas region of the Philippines. Known as the "City of Smiles" with a relatively friendly environment, Bacolod topped the 2008 list of "Best Places to Live in the Philippines" by MoneySense Magazine. One notable scene in the area are hectares of sugarcane plantation, remarkably a City of sweets (and sweet people! :)). Bacolod can be reached by air via Bacolod-Silay International Airport (1-hr flight from Manila, 30-minute from Cebu), by sea via Banago Wharf and BREDCO Port (servicing other Philippine destinations like Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro) and by land via RORO routes.
