Tip from Trip101 local expert
For something to bring back home, make sure to grab yourself a box (or more) of the famous cheese bread in town - LA Bakeshop's Cheese Bread! Its chewy and flavorful cheese breads are well-loved by us locals and we'd love tourists to discover them as well. They come in different packaging and are the perfect souvenir for loved ones of all sizes. This vacation rental is close to one of the bakeshop's chain of stores, just a quick stroll from the gate. And while you're there, you can also fill your shopping basket with other local goods available at the store. I recommend that you purchase a box with a mix of Spanish and cheese bread.
While the guesthouse is within a residential area, the guesthouse sits close to a busy business district with restaurants galore. As a foodie myself, I suggest that you sink your teeth into authentic Kapampangan cuisine served at Bale Capampangan.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
If you are into condo living, this suite is just perfect. The building is one of the newest condominium buildings in town - secure yet very close to essential establishments such as SM City Pampanga, Robinsons Starmills, and S&R Membership Shopping.
For those who are staying here to celebrate a relationship milestone, I suggest that you make the trip even more romantic by embarking on a ride at Pampanga Eye, the giant Ferris wheel and crowning feature of Sky Ranch Pampanga. The magic that the 10 to 15-minute ride offers to love birds is truly one-of-a-kind. I must admit that the best time to ride is during late afternoon, just when the sun is about to sink into the horizon. The golden hues over Mount Arayat and San Fernando City are beyond majestic.

9. Rustic rental with pool table access (from USD 54)
If unconventional living spaces are your jam, check out this bohemian accommodation. The property consists of two container vans converted into gorgeous, air-conditioned sleeping spaces.

Adjacent to the pool is a quaint yet well-manicured lawn, lending the place tropical vibes.
Additionally, a large shaded area serves as a kitchen, dining, and gaming space. Your inner pool shark would love the billiards table, while the couch potato in you would appreciate the Netflix-equipped TV.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
If you opt to dine out during your stay, this Airbnb's location near Our Lady of Fatima University Pampanga will come in handy. I enjoy going to the food hub, which is brimming with restaurants and cafes galore, situated right across the university. One of my favorite local coffee shops, Paya Coffee, has an outlet store there. Even if there's a Starbucks store just a few meters away, I'd still choose to grab a cuppa at this humble cafe. Be sure to check out its little and quaint place when you stay at this vacation rental.
Those who enjoy an immersive local experience will certainly enjoy the neighborhood of this place. Located in a residential area, the tiny home is an idyllic base to enjoy the Kapampangan warmth and weather.
