Baguio is famous because of it’s weather and people’s culture. But Baguio has something more to offer; Baguio is tagged by UNESCO as a Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art. If you happen to be visiting the City of Pines, don’t forget to visit and buy souvenirs at Pilak Silvercraft and Gift Shoppe; they sell crafted Pilak or Silvers that locally mined at Itogon Benguet and they also housed Baguio based artists and crafters.
Here are some of the artists/crafters and their products:
And if you’re looking for refreshments or snacks, a homegrown restaurant also has a small kiosk setup in the Garden.
Pilak Silvercraft and Gift Shoppe is just across the Baguio Botanical Garden. Customer parking is available and walk-in guest are most welcome. No entrance fee and they encourage tourists and locals to watch them while they craft Pilak or Silvers that are locally mined.
