Manila

Mabuhay! – Welcome to Manila! Located on the west coast of Luzon Island, the city is home to 16 territorial districts each with its individual flavour and charm, displaying the rich cultural diversity held within this cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines. Within this pulsating city you’ll find the captivating Intramuros - the medieval walled city built in the Spanish Era, and the oldest part of Manila.

Known as the History Town of the Philippines, this now largely reconstructed attraction is home to historic buildings, ruins, fascinating museums and churches like the Manila Cathedral – the most important in the country. Spend an afternoon in Rizal Park, one of the largest in South East Asia, and stroll through the ornamental Chinese and Japanese gardens, or catch a free “Concert at the Park” at the open-air auditorium.

Be sure to catch a glimpse of the picturesque setting sun on Manila Bay while you wander along Roxas Boulevard Baywalk to a background of live acoustic bands and colourful street performers or catch a scenic cruise boat on the bay waters – and get your cameras ready! Perhaps the most exciting place in Manila, however, is the busy bustling city centre itself, where you get to rub elbows with the friendly Filipino locals. You’ll never go hungry with the exotic smorgasbord of different tasty treats available on the sprawling streets, from Pancit and Sinigang, to the more unusual Balut.
