Davao is a city of contrasts, which leads to a diverse cultural experience! The city is located between stunning tropical beaches and rugged mountains, offering outdoor activities of all kinds. Within the city, you’ll find several large modern shopping malls alongside local outdoor markets. Davao offers many Western conveniences but has preserved its cultural heritage thanks to several tribal regions in the area. There are several local dialects spoken, but English is widely spoken and understood. It truly is an international city!
