Laguna Province, Philippines

Not every travel destination needs bright colors to feel warm and inviting. Not every new city needs to be exotic to be exciting. If you’re in search of a more low-key, relaxed experience, Laguna Province in the Philippines may be the place for you. It’s an incredibly understated travel destination that moves at a pace of its own. In that regard, it’s incredibly homely, welcoming to travelers with the warmth of a kind innkeeper rather than the bubbling excitement of a tour guide.

Still, there’s plenty to do in Laguna Province, especially for those with a more lethargic sense of adventure. Treat yourself to a visit to one of the many hot springs or take a tour of one of the churches, which are among the oldest in the Philippines.
