A brief introduction to Manila

Get a taste of the Philippines in its bayside capital of Manila, which is brimming with Spanish colonial landmarks, modern galleries, and complemented by a unique dining scene. Manila overflows with historical treasures for travellers to uncover such as Fort Santiago, Casa Manila and San Agustin Church, which dates back to the 16th century. The Phillippine capital is also home to the oldest Chinatown in the world, still a bustling neighbourhood with its myriad of dining options. Here you’ll find plenty of cafes and restaurants serving everything from delicious Asado pork to warm Buchi rice cakes - after your meal, be sure to enjoy a cup of Philippines-produced Robusta coffee.

Manila is also known for its creative soul, and boasts contemporary galleries such as the Ateneo Art Gallery and the National Museum of the Philippines. At night, the city comes alive, with chic rooftop bars and clubs in the districts of Makati City and Manila City - many staying open until the sun rises.
