Attractions and Tips

Manila, located on Luzon Island, is the capital and second-largest city in the Philippines. The island nation is a melting pot of cultures, with Spanish, American and Asian influences at every turn. Known as the "Pearl of the Orient," this cosmopolitan city of 1.6 million people is beaming with modernity, evident in the towering skyscrapers and large shopping malls. Museums like the Ayala Museum in the city center will give you a keen insight into the culture and history of The Philippines. You can experience the rustic side of Manila by sightseeing at Taal Volcano, an hour's drive from downtown.

Manila lies in a wet and mild climate, typical of the Southeast Asia. The city has two seasons: dry in the first half of the year, wet and rainy most of the second half, so pack accordingly. Most travelers stay in the Manila Bay area, a 30-minute trip from the airport.
