City of the Gentle People, Dumaguete is different from any other destination in the Philippines. With it’s charming and relaxed city, great diving in Dauin and Apo Island and easy connections to other destinations, Dumaguete is increasingly a firm favourite to visit.
Dumaguete is the capital of Negros Oriental and is located on the southeast coast of Negros Island. The city, which feels more like a large town, has a laid back atmosphere owing to its gentle people and sizeable population of university students. There are interesting historical monuments like the Belfry and church built in the 1870’s. It has perhaps the best seafront promenade (in our opinion!) to have a lovely stroll, rent a bicycle or hang out with the locals under the large acacia trees. The best time is late afternoon and into the evening as it has a good selection of bars and restaurants lining it.
