Majestic Legazpi City

Legazpi City is the most major city in the Bicol region. It is located in the province of Albay. It borders the Mayon Volcano with three other towns and city. It is one of the most scenic cities in the Philippines.

All these years, officials of the city have worked hard to make Legazpi City as an important hub in the region. Indeed, hard work paid for it is now at the forefront of development in the whole of
Bicol.

Good thing that the city is ready for the influx of tourists. Resorts and hotels have established businesses in Legazpi City. I was able to spend an overnight in one of its popular resorts when I tried traveling to Metro Manila from my hometown in Samar.

For those who love the night life, the Embarcadero is one place that one should not miss when in the city. It offers the party set establishments that cater to their taste. Also, this is also a place where gastronomic urges can be fulfilled.

Proof to Legazpi City's development are the establishments that have sprung up through the years. One need not go far anymore to do business as they are already all around the city. With its distance from Metro Manila, it is only fitting that businesses be opened in Legazpi City.

The big-named malls have already opened in Legazpi. SM and Ayala have given the residents of the city and neighboring towns, cities and provinces a better option that traveling thousand of miles just for their shopping needs.

Aside from road travel, Legazpi City can be accessed through flights from Manila and Cebu via Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific Air and CebGo. Travelers from island municipalities nearby can pass through the Legazpi port.

In Albay province, the city is the center of education. Of recent years, the University of Sto. Tomas has acquired the Aquinas University thus, having a branch in Legazpi. Other universities, colleges and basic education schools are also located there.

With the world-famous Mayon Volcano as a backdrop, Legazpi City should always be part of anybody's bucket list to visit. It sits majestically amidst the backdrop of the world's perfect cone. Magayon ka, Legazpi!
