The city serves as the gateway to Mayon, renowned as one of the world’s most active and picturesque volcanoes. Thrilling adventures like the Mayon ATV trail ride provide exciting terrain exploration, while Ligñon Hill offers sweeping views of the city and its scenic surroundings.
The Cagsawa Ruins, the remnants of a church that was buried during Mayon’s eruption in 1814, symbolize both tragedy and resilience. Close by, landmarks such as the Miguel Lopez de Legazpi Monument and the Battle of Legazpi Memorial showcase the city’s colonial history and wartime experiences.
With access to 16 dive sites in Albay Gulf, Legazpi offers rich marine biodiversity—from rare sea creatures to vibrant coral reefs. Kapuntukan Hill, affectionately known as the “Sleeping Lion,” contributes to the striking coastal landscape.
Every August, the Ibalong Festival celebrates local legends and heroism. Bicolano cuisine, known for its spicy flair, adds a flavorful layer to every visit, featuring dishes like laing and Bicol express served in local eateries.
