Look for the jeepneys marked 'Asin Road' or 'Long Long' (these go towards the direction of the BenCab Museum). Board one of these jeepneys and pay the fare. The ride should take about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. Get off at the stop for 'Km. 6 Asin Road.' From the drop-off point, walk about 10-15 minutes uphill on Asin Road, and you will see the BenCab Museum on your left.

Taxi or Ride-Hailing Service

Simply input 'BenCab Museum' or the address 'Km. 6 Asin Rd, Tuba, 2603 Benguet' into the app. The driver will take you directly to the museum. This option is more comfortable and takes about 15-20 minutes from the city center, depending on traffic.
