Ozamiz City Guide

What is there to do in Ozamiz City?

Ozamiz City is one of the lesser known areas belonging to the Philippines, but the ideal location and tranquil atmosphere, especially surrounding the port, make it an increasingly desired travel destination. The city is decorated in beautiful greenery and alluring parks; Mount Malindang Natural Park is a particular highlight, offering challenging walking trails and breathtaking views that are worth the trip alone to Ozamiz. Alternatively, Naomi Botanical Gardens and Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park both offer a pleasant setting to while away a few hours. The array of parks and mountainside may paint Ozamiz City as a place that’s only suited for hiking, but plenty of history and culture is dotted around the city centre. Cotta Fort is typically top of the itinerary for most tourists, and to witness the unique architecture synonymous with the city then a walk around the centre showcases the variety of interesting buildings.

How do visitors get around Ozamiz City?

The main form of transport around the city are jeepneys, a shared taxi similar to a pick-up truck, that provide very cheap services. Alternatively there are buses, but they tend to be unreliable and can oftentimes be confusing for new visitors, or for convenient and quick journeys there are pedicabs readily available.
