Manila, the bayside capital of the Philippines, is a high-energy metropolis where centuries of Spanish colonial history collide with ultra-modern skyscrapers and a thriving, diverse street life. Often called the "Pearl of the Orient," it serves as the nation's political, economic, and cultural heart, and is renowned for its resilience, having been the second most destroyed city in the world during World War II.
City & Regional Structure
It is important to distinguish between the City of Manila and Metro Manila:
City of Manila: The historic core (approx. 1.9 million people), divided into 16 administrative districts including Tondo, Binondo, and Intramuros.
Metro Manila (National Capital Region): A massive urban region of 16 cities and 1 municipality, with a population exceeding 14 million (2024 census). It is one of the most densely populated urban areas globally.
Upon arriving at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), you will be greeted and transferred to your hotel for check-in. After settling in, you have the rest of the day to explore at your own pace. You may take a leisurely stroll around nearby shopping districts, sample authentic Filipino dishes at renowned restaurants, or simply relax and soak in the city's bustling atmosphere. This free time allows you to ease into your journey and prepare for the exciting historical tour ahead.
Overnight in Manila
Start your day with a deep dive into Manila’s rich past, beginning at Rizal Park (Luneta Park), a historic site honoring national hero Dr. José Rizal. This expansive park is where Rizal was executed in 1896, igniting the Philippine revolution against Spanish rule. From there, step into Intramuros, the centuries-old walled city that served as the heart of Spanish colonial Manila.
Explore Fort Santiago, a military fortress that once held Rizal as a prisoner, and admire the well-preserved colonial architecture of Casa Manila, a beautifully reconstructed Spanish-era home. Visit the grand Manila Cathedral, known for its neo-Romanesque architecture, and the UNESCO-listed San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the Philippines, featuring stunning Baroque interiors. This immersive tour offers a glimpse into the country’s colonial past and cultural heritage.
