Capital region of the Philippines, known for its historical sites, bustling urban life, and as the country's political, economic, cultural hub.
Tips from the community
Manila will welcome you to the Philippines in one frenetic haze of hurtling jeepneys and gritty port areas. A colossal city, you’d do well to focus your time on the district of Intramuros. That’s the old Spanish heart of the capital, a maze of cobbled lanes fringed with Mexican-looking cantinas, all ringed by age-stained fortification walls. Day trips from the center can also reveal some of the startling wonders of Luzon island. They include the mighty volcano of Taal, where you can trek a submerged crater on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
