2025 Antipolo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#solotrip Museum-hopping is an activity I definitely enjoy doing alone. Even though I love going to places with people, sometimes going alone especially to a museum is also fun. You don't have to worry if you're taking a long time in an exhibition or whether you're breezing through something that you're companion's still interested in. There are lots of museums to visit in Manila but if you're wanting to go farther, there's a very beautiful museum you can visit in Antipolo City. Pinto Art Museum is a contemporary art museum in Antipolo City. It's a complex of galleries with restaurants and very pretty gardens. There are many thinkpieces that are also photo-worthy. Everywhere you look has a good view and somehow evokes the feeling of not being in the Philippines. Due to the museum's scenic gardens and structures, the place is often considered as one of the wedding venue choices by couples.

Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo is a blend of serenity and inspiration. The museum’s open, Mediterranean-style architecture and lush gardens create a calming atmosphere, perfect for wandering through the various galleries. You’ll be struck by the powerful collection of Filipino contemporary art, with each piece offering a unique, thought-provoking perspective. We love taking our time in the outdoor spaces, where we can relax and enjoy the panoramic views of Antipolo. It’s not just an art museum—it’s a peaceful retreat that blends creativity with nature. #PintoArtMuseum #Antipolo #ArtAndNature #FilipinoArt #MuseumVibes #ArtLovers #WeekendEscape

Today, I visited the Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. It's about an hour's drive from Manila. The entrance fee is 250 pesos per person, which you pay at the entrance. It was around early afternoon on a Saturday, and the number of people was just right—not too many, not too few. The inside is more spacious than I expected, with a European garden-like atmosphere. There are several galleries connected, showcasing contemporary art in a variety of forms. Not only paintings but also unique objects, decorated bikes, and rooms that recreate bamboo groves, among other things. There are also places to eat and a café space inside. It was my first visit, but it was more impressive than I had anticipated. If you love museums and have already visited all the nearby ones, I highly recommend checking this place out.

#timetotravel This is Pinto Art Museum or Gallery, a stunning place where you can totally appreciate amazing artwork from local artist! Not only that, the interior and exterior of the building is absolutely stunning with a strong mediterranian feels to it. Once you are on the grounds and in the building, there is that immediate feeling being in Europe or anywhere but Philippines. A great place for photographers as well.! Entrance Fee: 250 pesos Address: 1 Sierra Madre St, Grand Heights Subdivision, Antipolo. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #philippines #art

About 40 minutes by car from Makati I went to the Pinto Museum, an art museum I used the Grab ride-hailing app to get there 🚘 Surrounded by beautiful nature 🌲 A museum focusing on contemporary art There are also works by local artists and Japanese artists 🥺 There are many rest areas outside, so if you get tired You can take a break and take Instagram-worthy photos 🤭 There is also a cafe restaurant, so it's okay if you get hungry 😏💕 ※Manila has a lot of traffic and it often takes longer than you think! There are many rip-offs, so I recommend using a ride-hailing app instead of a street car! Admission fee 250 pesos (635 yen current rate July 2023) It is also recommended for those living in Manila 😊 Antipolo, where the Pinto Museum is located, also has the Avilon Zoo, one of the largest in the Philippines 🦁 #Manila #Philippines #777 #Museum #Contemporary art

If you ever find yourself in Manila, Phillipines and yearn to escape the hussle and bustle of the city. You could consider popping by Pinto Aet Museum at Antipolo. It is about an hour away from Manila. Tho i would suggest that you plan the trip as the traffic can get heavy at times as the road leading to Antipolo is going up the mountain range. Once you do get there. You are greeted by the lush green scenery of the place. Oh and dont forget to have lunch at their in house restaurant. The food is simply delicious , something to fill your tummy before you explore and take in the art on display. A wonderful balance of nature and contemporary art.

We stayed at LeBlanc Hotel because we attended a wedding at Antipolo and we wanted to be near the venue to avoid the traffic and the hassle of driving back and forth. It is just a small transient hotel but I liked the ambiance. It was small and cozy. It was raining when we were there and it made the place more homely. The rooms are small but comfortable. Great if you are just staying for the night or two. They a small restaurant that serves good food. They also have a great bakeshop also The Bistro that also serves as an alfresco coffee shop. Overall, I enjoyed the place. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. As a transient hotel I can easily give it 5 stars. Im happy with the place #hotelstay #staycation #philippines

We want to spend our hard-earned money wisely. So sometimes, we become picky in choosing a place to avail services from. We deserve the best and what Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa provided is nothing short of that. It was such a magical experience. The best part is the wondeful view of nature as you use their pools and facilities. If I want deeo relaxation, I know where I would be returning! #spamagic

Nothing feels better than waking up to nature greetign you a good morning. Luckily, it's become easy to experience because of glamping sites. At Gabriel's Sanctuary in Rizal, we were able to escape the busy city and unplug for a bit without traveling extra long hours. There's even a river for us to take a dip in and relax. Its location is perfect and was not discouraging to travel to because of its proximity to the city. #glamping

Drop by at Burrow Café located in Antipolo City! if you want a breather, soothing sound of the river, cozy, aesthetic plus a good delicious food!! this is one of the best café in Antipolo City! #cafehopping #goodfoods

This coffee shop in Tanay, Rizal, Philippines will give you an amazing view of Rizal ridges and Laguna Bay while you enjoy your coffee. You should definitely bring a sweater with you because it is quite cold here. 😊

We had an amazing stay at an AirBnB in Antipolo. The mansion was overlooking the hustle snd bustle of Metro Manila. The sunset was just to die for. More or less, it took us around an hour and a half to get to Antipolo from Metro Manila. It was truly worth it! The pool was heated and the sheets for the beds were new. We swam for only about an hour due to the cold breezy weather in Antipolo. If you’re looking for Tagaytay weather in a much closer place, I would truly suggest Antipolo. No need to think about food because there are numerous restaurants around the area. You won’t get bored as there is also a billard table on site. #staycation

Are you the adventurer type of person? Do you like exploring the real earth with a mobile vehicle? If you are that person, then you must try this ATV experience in Rizal! We’ve recently went to Antipolo ATV adventures Rizal and we got in love when saw the dirty motor bikes in the entrance driveway. We took the beginners class for a 1 hr session with Php 1,200 per pax. It was truly worth it. We went over a lot of mud and got ourselves really soiled with dirt. Quick advice, please wear a dark dri-fit shirt so you can still use it after the trail. We climbed some short mountains so you can really feel the adrenaline! worth it! #atvride

Great dining experience and breathtaking view at Ilona’s place in Antipolo, Rizal. Their food is fine dining levels and I’d rate it at 10/10 for taste. Superb experience. We ordered their US Beef and Sizzling Squid. The presentation is good. When we went here, it was drizzling hot. They quickly provided big Iowa aircoolers to our table. Very accommodating staff. If you’re driving, there are only 5 slots available at the venue. There is also a swimming pool located in the venue. If you plan to take an overnight vacation near the Metro, this is a good place to consider. You just have to pay a standard subdivision fee before you can enter the premises.

Not too far away from the bustling metropolis you can calm your mind and Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in the highlands of Antipolo City... I came here for my cousin's wedding but the place captivated my heart and spirit... It's so relaxing and peaceful..

🏕PERFECT GLAMPING SPOT IN CALAWIS, ANTIPOLO 📍 The Mountain House - 4000 per night (check in at 2PM, check out at 12NN) - They also serve full boarded meals for 1100/head which I highly recommend because hindi tinipid ang serving (hirap na hirap nga kami ubusin) -There is space for bonfire night -There is a small stream right in front of the cabin where you can dip but not really swim bcos the water is shallow -Wifi connection is good but smart and globe signal is so so -CR is shared and clean - Staff and owner is very approachable -Kids are allowed!! Definitely coming back here! Super relaxing place 🧘‍♀️ Getting to The Mountain House (via Boso-Boso) 1. Take Marcos Highway and go straight past Masinag intersection. This drive will take you thru winding roads with scenic views of the mountain and the Laguna de Bay to your right. You will pass thru the ff landmarks: Cogeo market, Eastland Heights to your left (formerly Forest Hills), Boso Boso convention to your left. 2. From the Boso Boso convention centre, you may have a quick pit stop or gas refill at Shell. You may have a souvenir pic taken on their balcony with scenic mountain views. The road slopes down from here. Watch out for the Barangay Boso Boso white arch to your left, landmark is 3RK Hardware. Turn left. 3. Go straight until you reach a small Iglesia ni Cristo church to your right. Turn right (road is sloping down). You’ll know you’re on the right track if you see a public elementary school to your left. There’s also a signage pointing to Zhane’s resort and Mount Purro Nature Reserve. Just follow the winding road, cross bridge, until you reach a dead end (with a sari-sari store at your right). 4. Turn left. You are now on Calawis Road. Follow this road until you reach a junction where you can turn left (look for road signage leading to Mt. Purro Nature Reserve. You’ll pass an arch that says “Welcome to Calawis” 5.

You are nearing the Mountain House. If you feel lost, just ask passersby for Mount Purro Nature Reserve, or the boso to Apia. 7. Watch out for wooden gate with big signage of “Mt.
