What travelers are saying
- Angela V3 contributionsThe church's peaceful ambiance makes it a perfect place for personal contemplation or communal gatherings. The staff and clergy are welcoming, often going out of their way to make visitors feel at home. The community events and services are well-organized, fostering a sense of belonging among parishioners.Written October 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,798 contributionsA brief stop on a busy shore excursion itinerary, time enough to get a few photos of both the exterior and interior. External signage was very informative, the official title being, "Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception", the present building the 8th built on the site, the first in 1571 was a simple church which was declared a Cathedral in 1581. Earthquakes, fire and war have not been kind to the Cathedral over the centuries. The present building dates to 1958, the year it was completed and consecrated.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BalkrishnaShroffMumbai, India26,168 contributionsIt is locatd next to San Augustin Church in a historic walled city of Intramuros. It is all about the lifestyle of affluent Filipinos during conolial Spainish rule.Written October 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Latrinidad L10 contributionsI recommend going really early to avoid the long lines. Its probably not worth it if you're really short on time. You'll be able to purchase their products in a lot of other areas that resell them (but of course a bit more Php) like the bus terminals and main tourist attractions.Written January 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joey M111 contributionsThe view of Mayon was stunning. There is no better majestic volcano than this. Cagsawa Ruins is one of the better locations to view this. My only drawback is that its too crowded, and its hard to park due to the volume of tourists. We were there on a summer and its quite hot.Written March 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Teresa CMetro Manila, Philippines1,574 contributionsMajestically rising up in a square, this church commands attention. Colourful, towering statues are dotted around the perimeter and inside the church. Always busy with worshippers. It is next door to Quiapo Market.Written May 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,444 contributionsI have seen literally thousands of churchs in my life and I can honestly claim that St. Augustine's Church in Paoay is one of the most interesting. While the archetectural style has been termed "Earthquake Baroque" the interior has little of the over-the-top ornate decor of European baroque churchs. What makes the Paoay church unique are the incredible massive buttresses supporting the walls, intended to make the church resilient to the frequent earthquakes in the region. The church is one of the oldest in the Philippines, constructed in 1710. The adjacent bell tower was constructed in 1793. The Paoay church is one of four Philippine churches enshrined as World Heritage Site ("Baroque Churches of the Philippines").Written October 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Byaheng-oldiesHong Kong, China688 contributionsAs a catholic we also make time to visit a church for our prayers wherever we travel around the world. This is one of those amazing and beautiful cathedral we’ve been. It’s where you can cleanse your mind, body and soul. Parking is not free and you’ll be charged 10 pesos for the first hour and a 100 pesos penalty if you over stayed.
The only worse thing is the public toilet when they charge 5 pesos per use and the toilet is so gross, dark and dirty! I wonder if the church administration tolerates this kind of condition and I’m sure it will be a worse experience for foreign tourists.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The venue is unique, historical, romantic, and elegant. The fountain is beautiful at night. Bookings for the Chapel is separate. Perfect for musical or outdoor theatre event. We brought our own caterer. Make sure you inspect the toilets. Bring your own amenities because the administration does not provide that. If they did, they would get more bookings for the venue.Written February 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- irenevffDasmarinas City, Philippines5,909 contributionsa visit to lourdes grotto is non-negotiable, i.e., it should always be in our itinerary whenever we are in baguio. climbing the almost 300 steps would be a struggle for the physically unfit but once you reach the end of the stairs, you'd feel like you've accomplished a great feat. actually, there's a parking space at the top so if you choose not to sacrifice your strength, there's a faster way by driving a car.
a new chapel has been erected a few meters from the grotto itself. it is an added serene spot for the devotees who need a respite after a tiring uphill crawl.
candles and flowers can be bought from vendors at the foot of the stairs.Written June 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Perfect for family picnic just to breath some fresh air. Just a little bonding time.Written March 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The_Traveling_ExpatChicago, IL408 contributionsThe church is very large and is a very easy walk from Intramuros. However, be aware that there are a lot of beggars and homeless people around, but during the day it should be OK. The church itself is quite beautiful inside with many large paintings and a high altar resembling St. Peter's Basilica.Written December 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leigh d3 contributionsThe solemnity and cleanliness of the place is the highlight. The place is just simple but with a quiet and peaceful ambiance. Every single spot is a venue for a nice photo with the family because of the view and structures.Written July 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- YuppieLionheartPhilippines674 contributionsMa-Cho Temple (Taoist temple) is a place of worship and a tourist attraction. Please be observant and respect the rules.
