Bacolod City is a beautiful and historic port, as well as the capital city and busiest urban area of the Philippine province of Negros Occidental. The Philippines are divided into the Northern Luzon Islands, the Southern Mindanao Islands, and the central Visayas Islands, and with its population of about 500.000, Bacolod City offers several attractions and enough infrastructure to make it a popular destination for tourists of the Western Visayas Region. It is re-known for the MassKara Festival held there every October. A sort of a merger of carnival and trade fair, MassaKara sees the city streets filled with dancers in competition, food festivals, music performances, and other special events. Like the American South, Bacolod City has a treasured reputation for friendliness, and it maintains the nickname “City of Smiles” with pride. Well served by the Bacolod–Silay City International Airport and accessible by sea through the port of Pulupandan, Bacolod features several beautiful structures from the Spanish colonial era, including the San Sebastion Cathedral. The central park of the city is very beautiful, especially during the dry season of February through May. Bacolod City is very much a growth industry, as a land reclamation project expands its area at the shoreline of the port. The downtown district is always bustling and full of nightlife, and the opening of a huge new mall has recently added vigor to the city’s shopping attractions. Here are some hotels that you might try when visiting Bacolod City…
