Attractions and tips

Manila is the capital of the Philippines and it’s also an ancient city with lots of different historical sites that curious travelers can visit. The oldest place of interest is located east of the city and it’s where the Angono Petroglyphs, the oldest known works of art in the Philippines can be found. These rock wall carvings prove that the area has been inhabited since around 3000 BC.

Recent historical sites include the walled city of Intramuros, which was built in the late 16th century. Nearby, the expansive Rizal Park is akin to the U.S. National Mall, and features Manila monuments, museums and government buildings.

Manila’s climate is tropical. The city experiences drier spells from December to May, but the rest of the year sees heavy rainfall. The temperatures are mild and usually only range from 70 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
