Attractions and Tips

The capital city of the Philippines is a growing metropolis full of historical religious sites, such as San Agustin Church, Fort Santiago, Quiapo Church, San Sebastian Church, Malate Church, the Manila Cathedral, Binondo Church and the Baroque Churches of the Philippines. For family attractions, try the Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden, the Manila Ocean Park and the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Manila's tropical savanna climate means very little temperature variation year round, with an average of 79 in January and 86 in May. January through April is incredibly dry compared to the rest of the year, so that might be the ideal time to visit. Due to industrial waste and a large amount of automobiles, Manila is plagued by some air pollution. Residents might be seen wearing face masks to protect their lungs, and don't be afraid to do the same, as it has become normal practice.
