Tourist Destination : Naga City
Welcome to Naga City!
Naga City (Bikol: Ciudad nin Naga; Filipino: Lungsod ng Naga) is a first class city of the Philippines. Located in the Bicol Region, a peninsula on the southeastern tip of the island of Luzon, it is 377 kilometers southeast of Manila, the nation's capital, and about 380 kilometers northeast of Cebu City in the Southern Philippines.
With a relatively smaller land area compared to other cities in Bicol which accounts for its being the most densely populated city in the region, Naga City is also undeniably the region's most progressive city, popularly referred to as the "Heart of Bicol". It is the only chartered city and the commercial, educational, financial, religious, and cultural center of the Bicol region. Residents of Naga City are called Nagueños.
Naga City is at the core of Metro Naga, a fast-growing area composed of 14 municipalities and Naga City belonging to the Metro Naga Development Council. The MNDC covers the entire 2nd district of the province of Camarines Sur, and part of its 1st, 3rd and 4th districts.
