We took the PNR Train from San Pablo to Lucena.
After arriving in Lucena, we explored the city on foot.
There are many places to visit near the train station. From its beautiful art deco capitol building to the imposing Quezon monument made from coins donated by grade school students.
While walking Perez Park, we saw another Art Deco building, the Old Provincial Hospital built in 1924, and we were invited to tour its museum, the Gintong Yaman ng Quezon, which now houses memorabilia from Quezon, Lorenzo Tanada and Enverga.
While walking the streets of Lucena, we also saw many century-old ancestral houses, some of them now given a new lease in life with commercial establishments on the ground floor.
We also got the chance to try Lucena's version of Pansit Habhab, and the city's most famous pansit, Chami at Cafe Antigua.
No visit to Lucena is complete without buying its famous pasalubong, Tinapang Tamban available on the 2nd Floor of public market.
There are many things we can now do while in Lucena by taking the new train from San Pablo!
