Metro Manila

Metro Manila, the bustling capital region of the Philippines, is a vibrant mix of history, culture, and modern city life. Comprising 16 cities including Manila, Makati, and Quezon City, this metropolitan hub is the political, economic, and cultural heart of the country. In Intramuros, the historic walled city, travelers can walk through centuries-old Spanish architecture, churches, and forts such as Fort Santiago. The Rizal Park (Luneta) honors the country’s national hero, while the National Museum Complex showcases the Philippines’ rich history, art, and natural heritage. Modern Manila offers a different charm with its glittering skyscrapers, luxury malls, and lively nightlife in areas like Makati and Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Food lovers can indulge in everything from authentic Filipino dishes to international cuisine, while bustling markets and street food scenes reflect the everyday life of locals. Despite its busy streets and fast-paced lifestyle, Metro Manila warmly welcomes visitors with its mix of tradition and progress, making it both a gateway to the Philippines and a destination full of experiences on its own.
