7 Things To See In And Around Manila
The capital of the Philippines combines big-city life with a fusion of European and Asian culture. The city enjoys lush tropical surroundings. What are some things you shouldn't miss?
Quiapo Church
Although the original construction perished in a blaze, Quiapo Church is still a major attraction in Manila. It's probably most famous for its sacred Black Christ statue, carried by devout believers in a procession each year.
American Memorial Cemetery
U.S. presence was big in the Philippines, and this gathering of 17,206 headstones pays tribute to the soldiers killed during the Second World War.
Pagsanjan Falls
If it's countryside you crave, take a two-hour drive outside Manila to swim under a real waterfall. You also have the opportunity to canoe around the waters.
National Museum of the Filipino People
Discover the many layers of Filipino history, starting from Paleolithic times, the Spanish invasion, to the 20th century. Your ticket is good at the National Gallery of Art, too!
Rizal Park
Named after Filipino revolutionary Jose Rizal, this park covers 60 hectares. Take a stroll through its woods, pay tribute to Rizal's monument, and admire its cultivated gardens.
Taal Volcano
Did you know that there are active volcanoes in the Philippines? You can hike this one, as well as traverse its surrounding waters by various forms of transport. Not to be missed!
Villa Escudero Plantation
This working coconut plantation is a major part of the local agricultural industry. You can learn about local sugarcane and coconut trade, birdwatch, and explore a rural village.
Planning Your Manila Visit
When's the best time to go?
The rainy seasons are July and August, and the temperature reaches its peak in May - over 90 degrees. January or February could be your best bets for mild weather and low rainfall.
How can I stay safe?
Protect yourself from con artists by only accepting help from people you know. Exercise common sense by keeping valuables hidden and not wandering poorly-lit areas.

What people are saying about Manila
Well worth doing, beautiful views, amazing amount of info.
I had a great day being driven around! Very little walking to be done -which suited me. There was wheelchair available ( probably requested) which was of benefit to a particular customer. Lots of information re WW2 but you can always switch off if it gets too much. Guide had excellent English and food for lunch was away better than what I got in my hotel dinning room the evening before. Would highly recommend.
A quick overview of Manila when in a short trip
The tour is pretty nice when you don’t have much time. You manage to see the most important landmarks of Manila (old and new) in only 4 hours. We were lucky the traffic helped us and could complete our tour on time! The guide was kind and nice! Gave us accurate information about the places we were looking at.
Good review of major sites in Manila and their history.
It was a good introductory tour to Manila and fit well into our schedule in the afternoon, thereby allowing us to rest in the morning after a night - time flight. Great way to get ideas of places to followup and learn more thoroughly.
Good idea to get basically familiar with the city
Friendly and competent guide, good organization, interesting places to be seen exceeding my expectations, terrible traffic - but still part of Manila daily life. No complaints at all.
Troy, our guide, and Ronnie, our driver, were lovely
This tour covered the majority of what Manila has to offer. There aren’t a huge amount of attractions to do in the city, so this manages to cover pretty much all of them.
