A brief introduction to Manila

The metropolitan capital of the Philippines, Manila is a picturesque bayside city home to stunning historical landmarks, rich cultural history, and a world class dining scene.

Begin your journey with a visit to the heart of Old Manila at the walled colonial city of Intramuros. Here, you can learn about the history of the baroque 16th-century San Agustin Church, Manila Cathedral and Fort Santiago – a citadel and former military prison. Art lovers will enjoy exploring Manila’s thriving creative scene, with its artistic spirit exhibited through the city’s internationally renowned galleries. Find the best of both established and up-and-coming artists at the National Art Gallery, Ysobel Art Gallery and Ateneo Art Gallery, or explore local music venues to uncover a lively music scene.

Home to the oldest Chinatown in the world, Manila is an excellent choice for foodies seeking authentic street food. Sample local favourites such as Asado pork and kare-kare (oxtail stew in peanut sauce) which blend Indian, Chinese, Spanish and American influences to create unique culinary wonders. We also recommend visiting the restaurants along the palm-lined promenade of Manila Bay, which offer an idyllic location for a seafood dinner overlooking the striking Manila sunset.
