Davao City travel info and tips, things to do in Davao City, places to see in Davao City
(if you only have a few days in Davao City)
- Bankerohan - this Davao's public market. Lose yourself in its many passages. Buy fruits which are abundant and cheap. Drink the native chocolate drink, tablea (P25). If you're looking for something weird tasting but popular, try the kinutil (P50)
- Magsaysay Park - for Davao's best durian. Durian can be bought in practically every corner of the city. But you can get the best at Magsaysay Park. The price will be higher than everywhere else but the weighing scales are certified accurate (push cart durian vendors with questionable weighing scales will price it at P30/kilo but Magsaysay rates maybe at P50/kilo)
