Lemery is a major municipality in Batangas. It is a commercial center for the eastern portion of western Batangas. The town lies next to and to the west of the heritage town of Taal; together they form a single urban area. The boundary runs along the Pansipit River; the river area was part of the sea until it was buried by tephra deposits from the 1755 eruption of Taal Volcano.

300 ha theme park, though incomplete and closed to the public. It has been once used in some local fantasy-themed television dramas in the 2000s. This is, however, a common stopover for picture-taking by tourists travelling from Tagaytay to Taal.
A private collection with many bikes and some classic cars. Lots of BMW machines including one from World War II with a machine gun mounted on the sidecar. The complex also includes a restaurant, hotel and some park areas.

Lemery's main parish church, it dates back to 1887, and used to have a Neoclassical façade with two belfries. It was badly damaged by aerial bombing at the end of World War II in 1945, and the façade was replaced by a modernist one in 1968, with the belfries demolished.
