Manila is the densely-populated, pulsating capital of the Philippines, overlooking the shimmering waters of Manila Bay. The city features a vast blend of modern skyscrapers and Spanish colonial architecture. Intramuros is the beating heart of Old Manila, and was once a walled city during the colonial times. It’s the site of Fort Santiago, a former military prison and storied citadel, as well as the 16th-century baroque San Agustin Church. Manila boasts a plethora of mega-shopping malls, packed markets, and exquisite restaurants. Visitors will be pleased by the number of attractions they’ll have to explore, including the San Agustin Museum, Chinatown, Ayala Museum, and the colorful promenade along Manila Bay. Manila Map
