A brief introduction to Manila

The vibrant beating heart of the Philippines, Manila offers exotic culture, captivating history, and exceptional dining experiences to those who visit.

Begin your journey with a visit to the walled colonial city of Intramuros in the centre of Old Manila. Here, you can learn about the history of the 16th century San Agustin Church, Manila Cathedral, and Fort Santiago - a citadel and former military prison.

Art lovers will also enjoy exploring the city’s creative scene, which is best experienced at the National Art Gallery, Ysobel Art Gallery, and Ateneo Art Gallery. All of these venues feature masterpieces from established and up-and-coming artists.

Manila is also a foodie’s paradise and is known for its mouth-watering street food. Sample local favourites such as Asado pork and ‘kare-kare’ (oxtail stew in peanut sauce). We also recommend visiting the restaurants along the palm-lined promenade of Manila Bay, which offer picturesque views of the striking sunset.
