Book NowManila, Philippines
Manila, one of the most populated metro regions globally, is brimming with historical and cultural significance. Begin your day in Intramuros, the city's historic core — walk along the 16th-century fortifications, or opt for a horse-drawn carriage ride to admire the charming colonial buildings. Observe the Baroque style and intricately adorned interior of St. Augustin Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest stone church in the Philippines. Sail to Manila and enjoy the ocean scenery as you stroll along the palm tree-adorned Manila Baywalk, a lively waterfront walkway. Alternatively, consider a day excursion to the nearby Mount Taal and enjoy the one-hour trek to the peak of one of the globe's smallest active volcanoes.

Walled-In Wonders
The fortified city of Intramuros will transport you to the era of the Spanish takeover of Manila during the late 1500s. Visit the Fort Santiago Citadel and explore its treasures, including the Spanish Colonial San Agustin Church and the Bahay Tsinoy Museum, which honors the Chinese immigrant community in the Philippines.
Modern Manila
Manila is not solely focused on history. The lively Makati area is energetic and modern. The tree-lined avenues feature modern architectural wonders such as the Ayala Museum and contemporary shopping centers like Glorietta and Greenbelt, which are impressive feats of architecture (and air conditioning) in their own way.
LOCAL CUISINE
Whether you choose outdoor vendors near Intramuros or high-end Makati dining spots like Sentro 1771, prioritize traditional Filipino dishes. Manila cruises provide the chance to experience pancit bihon guisado, which consists of fried noodles mixed with soy sauce, vegetables, and citrus. Indulge in sisig, a crunchy pork dish seasoned with chilies and infused with calamansi, a native citrus fruit.
SHOPPING
If there's one thing Manila has in abundance, it's shopping. From the malls to the souvenir shops both within and outside of the Intramuros walls, you'll have plenty of options. Purchase "Jeepney" keychains showcasing the iconic rural Filipino vehicle for a strong kitsch appeal, or opt for vibrant Banig crafts crafted from traditional Manila hemp fibers for a more authentic, rustic souvenir.
