Are you looking to travel to someplace new, yet not too far, this year end? Then why not try Manila? That’s right, the Pearl of the Orient, as it’s known, might be the go-to destination you’ve been looking for! 

It’s OK if you don’t know where to start, because here’s our list of the top five must-visit places in the Philippine capital.

Philippine National Museum

Manila, and the Philippines as a whole, are absolutely packed with rich history. From notable heroes to talented poets and painters, each figure had a massive impact on the country’s history and thus is rightly immortalised in the National Museum.

Behind its white walls are a treasure trove of cultural artefacts and incalculable national heritage items from all over the country. This is a one-stop-shop that will tell you everything you need to know about the country’s past. If you’re an art lover, then this stop is definitely for you!


Rizal Park

Once your sightseeing is over, you should proceed to Rizal Park if you want to visit a significant historical site. This shortstop will let you take in the sights of the historical landmark without straying too far from the city or any form of public transportation. It’s a well-maintained park that features a lot of space for you to play and even have picnics in. If you’re looking for a spot where you can take it easy from your packed travel itinerary, but which is also very accessible, then this might be for you. 

Intramuros

Dubbed “The Walled City,” Intramuros is the oldest district in Manila. It used to be a heavily-fortified area during Spanish colonial rule (1521-1898). Ruined forts as well as some key buildings are all that remains from this historical landmark. However, that’s not the only thing Intramuros has to offer.

Large portions of the fort may be gone, but the city and its buildings still stand to this day. This gives you the exciting opportunity to travel back in time and experience the Philippines like it was in the 1800s. From the cobblestone streets to the horse-drawn carriages as well as delicacies that have been refined for a couple of centuries, there is no better place to experience history than right here. 


Manila Ocean Park

If you’re done brushing up on the country’s rich history, then why not explore its diverse aquatic wildlife in Manila Ocean Park? This marine-themed park is easily the go-to holiday destination for both local and foreign aquatic lovers. From a vast array of exciting attractions to unforgettable set pieces that are chock-full of diverse aquatic fauna and even a stunning view of the bay, you will never be bored when you’re at this park. 

However, if marine life isn’t your thing, then don’t worry, as the park also features a variety of land-dwelling animals as well, like penguins and parrots. After a long day of exploring, you can kick up your feet and enjoy the local and even foreign delicacies without stepping out of the park.


ATV Adventures In The Rizal Province

If you’re looking for a thrill-seeking adventure and don’t mind getting down and dirty, then why not try an ATV adventure outside of Manila? That’s right, go deep into the forests of the Philippines, where you will have the amazing opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience the calmer side of the country. This 5-hour adventure will have you exploring on muddy trails and flowing rivers that only a few get to visit.

Though this adventure is outside of the Manila area, what sets it apart from other alternative expeditions is that you can receive free pick-up and drop-off from the comfort of your hotel in select areas. That’s right, you get to have an outdoor adventure pre-planned for you without lifting so much as a finger. Simply book and discuss the details, and you’re all set!
