Explore Manila

Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is a city of contrasts—where colonial history meets cosmopolitan energy, and old-world charm intersects with modern ambition. As the nation’s political, economic, and cultural heart, Manila offers a compelling experience for those who want to understand the country’s past and present in one dynamic metropolis.

Start with Intramuros, the historic walled city built by the Spanish. Explore Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, and cobbled streets lined with heritage buildings. Nearby, Rizal Park pays tribute to the country’s national hero, while the National Museum Complex showcases Filipino art, history, and science.

Beyond its historic core, Manila pulses with life. Shopping malls like SM Mall of Asia and Greenbelt offer world-class retail and dining. The Baywalk along Manila Bay is perfect for sunsets and street food, while vibrant districts like Malate and Poblacion buzz with nightlife and creativity.

Manila’s diversity is reflected in its people, food, and neighborhoods—from Chinatown in Binondo to the upscale avenues of Makati. It’s a city that welcomes all—travelers, dreamers, and storytellers—and rewards those who explore its many layers.
