Manila

Manila is a bustling metropolis where old-world charm meets modern urban life. Known for its rich history, dynamic culture, and lively atmosphere, Manila offers an exciting blend of attractions, from colonial-era landmarks to contemporary shopping centres.

 

Must-sees:

  • Intramuros: Manila’s historic walled city, Intramuros, is a fascinating glimpse into the Philippines' colonial past. Visit the iconic San Agustin Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Fort Santiago, which tells the story of the country’s revolutionary history.
  • Rizal Park: A peaceful oasis in the heart of the city, Rizal Park is dedicated to the national hero, José Rizal. Explore its gardens, monuments, and the Rizal Monument, where the remains of the national hero are entombed.
  • National Museum Complex: For art and history enthusiasts, Manila’s National Museum Complex offers a treasure trove of Filipino heritage, from archaeology and fine arts to natural history.

 

 

Culinary culture:
Manila is a food-lover's paradise, offering a wide array of local and international flavours. Try adobo, the famous Filipino dish made with marinated meat, or indulge in halo-halo, a refreshing dessert made with shaved ice, sweet fruits, and beans. Explore the bustling Divisoria Market for street food, or head to Binondo, the world’s oldest Chinatown, for a mix of Chinese and Filipino delicacies.

 

 

Dive deeper:
Explore Manila's dynamic energy through its shopping malls, such as Greenbelt and SM Mall of Asia, or discover the nightlife at Poblacion and Bonifacio Global City. Manila is also a gateway to nearby attractions like Tagaytay and Corregidor Island.

 

 

Good to know:
Manila enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, making it an ideal destination for beach lovers and cultural explorers alike. The city is easily accessible by air, with Ninoy Aquino International Airport serving as a major hub for international and domestic flights.

Bohol

This picturesque island boasts lush greenery and beautiful beaches. Known for its wildlife and unique landscapes, many visitors come to Bohol for adventure and exploration. 

 

The most popular and well-known attraction on the island is the Chocolate Hills which are symmetrically rounded hills expanding to the horizon. In the dry season, these hills turn a brownish colour hence where they get their name from.  Another great attraction on the island is the bamboo bridge which hangs over the slow-flowing river. Once you have crossed the bridge, you will find souvenir shops and local boutiques. This island is great for those seeking something unique and different but with a splash of beach and fun.
