Manila is often the stop off point to the country’s incredible beaches, beautiful islands, and unique natural wonders. However, there are many tourist spots to visit in Manila alone! It’s a beautiful city full of surprises and amazing things to see.
Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is one of the most populated cities in the world. The city was an important trading point between the Spanish and South American territories, China in the East. Typically silver from Mexico and Peru was exchanged for gems and spices.
Manila will not fail to disappoint as it has such a rich history. Not only does it have the Spanish colonial influence, but also a more recent American influence. The education system here is distinctly American. Tagalog is the local Filipino language but many of the islands have their own language or dialect too.
Whatever you choose to do in Manila, it will be a unique and memorable experience of a lifetime, with a Guides4me guide, who will look after you and by the end of the trip you’ve made a best friend.
