The Promenade: Dapitan: The City Tour

In my previous posts, I've already talked a little about Dapitan City. This will complete the trip. The city tour. I promised to post about the historical sites in Dapitan and here they are: the Landing Site, Rizal Shrine, Dapitan City Plaza, Grotto, Dapitan City Hall, and Ilihan Hill.

These places are just near each other. You may just take a tricycle to get to these places.

The Landing Site. This is where our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, first landed in Dapitan. Actually, this monument is new.

Rizal Shrine. This is where he stayed during his exile. There's his house and kitchen, the Mi Retiro Rock or the lovers' rock, the museum, the old trees, etc.

Dapitan City Plaza. Fronting the church, there is the plaza where you can stroll around and spend an afternoon walk. You may also eat streetfoods. In the plaza, there is a huge map.

Grotto. This is just situated a few meters from the plaza.

Dapitan City Hall. Well, as for me, the city hall in Dapitan is the most beautiful city hall I have ever seen. You should see it for yourself too.

Ilihan Hill. At the peak, you will see Dapitan's panoramic view. It's easy to climb the hill because of the concrete steps.

*Sunset Boulevard. It is here where you could view the most breathtaking sunsets. You'll sigh, for sure.

You could visit these places without spending so much because there are no entrance fees.

Sorry for the poor-quality photos. I wasn't able to bring my camera with me. Instead, I just used my iPad. x
