A Quick Guide to Davao City
I have never visited Davao City, but I have heard so much about the beauty of the place. Someday, I want to see and experience it for myself. Meanwhile, I can only dream of seeing places like the Crocodile Farm, and tasting the best native food the city has to offer.
Vanessa Arellano Doctor, a proud Davaoeño, shares the Davao City that can’t be found in tourism brochures. Included in her list are dining places where you can get delicious meals at affordable prices. Some of these are the Bamboo Kitchenette on Roxas Street and the Agdao Public Market. She also gives tips on the best shopping areas for bargains.
Here are some more of her useful reminders:
- Jeep fare is P7. Cab fare within the city is P60 (in airconditioned cabs) or P35 (in non-airconditioned taxis).
- If you don’t speak Bisaya, don’t worry. Davaoeños can speak Tagalog.
- Be sure to visitPeople’s Park and walk on rainbow road.
- All coffee shops have free WiFi.
- You can smoke only in designated areas in the city. Smoking in closed public areas is punishable by law
