You don’t need a big entrance fee or a long hike to find one of the most peaceful spots in Baguio. The Pink Sisters Convent and Chapel, ranked #6 of 58 things to do in Baguio on Tripadvisor, is a quiet place for prayer and reflection. It’s free to enter, and you don’t need to book ahead. Just show up, follow a simple dress code, and you’re in.
This isn’t a tourist park or a viewpoint. It’s an active convent where a community of nuns lives and prays. People come here to light a candle, leave a written petition, or just sit in the quiet. If you’re looking for a break from Baguio’s busy streets, this is a good stop. It’s also close to other spots like Good Shepherd Convent, so you can pair them in one trip.
What You’ll Find Inside the Convent
The chapel itself is simple but beautiful, with stained glass windows and a pink facade that gives the convent its name. Masses are sometimes said in Latin, which adds to the solemn feel. Visitors are expected to stay quiet and respectful. Cellphones should be on silent mode. The nuns, known as the Pink Sisters because of their pink habits, can sometimes be seen praying the Angelus. It’s a quiet, personal experience — not a photo stop.
Best Time to Visit & What Changes Your Trip
The convent is generally open on Fridays and Saturdays, with regular Sunday masses. Some sources say it opens around 12 noon. If you want a quieter visit, go early in the morning or late afternoon. Weekday mornings tend to have fewer people. Sundays can get crowded because of mass, so arrive early if you plan to attend.
Baguio’s weather also matters. The dry season (November to April) is the most comfortable time to walk around. During the rainy season (May to October), expect cooler temperatures and occasional downpours. The convent is mostly indoors, but you’ll walk a bit from the jeepney drop-off. Bring a light jacket or umbrella either way.
Getting There & Getting Around
The Pink Sisters Convent is near the corner of Brent Road and Leonard Wood Road. It’s easy to reach from the city center.
By Jeepney
From Baguio Market, take a jeepney headed to Asin Road or Longlong. Tell the driver to drop you near Brent Road. The ride takes about 15–20 minutes. From there, it’s a short walk to the convent gate. Jeepneys are cheap and frequent, but they can get crowded.
By Taxi or Grab
A taxi or Grab from Burnham Park takes about 10–15 minutes. Just tell the driver “Pink Sisters Convent” or use the address CJ63+JGC, Brent Road. This is the easiest option if you’re in a group or carrying bags.
On Foot
If you’re staying near Burnham Park, you can walk. It’s about 2.5 kilometers and takes roughly 30 minutes via Magsaysay Avenue and Outlook Ridge. It’s a uphill walk, so pace yourself.
There’s no parking inside the convent grounds. If you’re driving, you’ll need to find street parking nearby, which can be tight. Most visitors take a jeepney or taxi.
What to Do During Your Visit
Attend Mass or Join the Rosary
Mass schedules are posted at the chapel. You can also join the rosary or novena if you’re there during service times. Some masses are in Latin. Check the schedule when you arrive or ask the guard. It’s a good idea to arrive at least 15 minutes early to find a seat.
Light a Candle and Leave a Petition
At the grotto outside, you can buy a candle from the guard and light it. Inside the chapel, there’s paper and envelopes for writing a petition. Donations are optional but appreciated. Many visitors say they’ve had prayers answered, including passing board exams. Whether you believe or not, the act itself feels meaningful.
Visit the Gift Shop and Try the Taho
The small gift shop sells angel cookies and religious items. It’s a nice place to pick up a simple souvenir. Just outside the chapel, there’s a self-service taho station. You pay the posted price and serve yourself. It’s warm, sweet, and a perfect snack after a quiet visit.
Combine with Nearby Spots
The convent is close to several other Baguio attractions. You can walk to Baguio Botanical Garden (3.7 km), Laperal White House (3.7 km), or Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral (4.2 km).

Plan Your Visit Well
The Pink Sisters Convent isn’t a big attraction with rides or viewpoints. It’s a real convent where nuns live and pray. Go for the quiet, not for the spectacle.
