Manila, however you want it

Welcome to Manila, the vibrant capital of the Philippines! This city is a hidden gem of Asia, with a unique blend of Latin American and Caribbean influences that will leave you feeling pleasantly surprised. From the lively music and dancing to the warm smiles and laughter of the locals, Manila is a city of extremes that will capture your heart. Despite its urban sprawl, Manila is a place of contrasts, with old and new wealth, poverty and grandiosity, and decay and beauty all coexisting. While the smog and traffic may create a less than favourable first impression, just beneath the surface lies a fascinating and pulsating place to explore. During the day, you can immerse yourself in the rich history of the medieval walled city of Intramuros, with its elegant Latin architecture. And by night, the bright lights of Ermita and Makati beckon with jazz pubs, clubs, karaoke lounges, 24-hour diners, and trendy bars. The Filipino people's zest for life, natural friendliness, and ease with the English language make them the perfect hosts, always ready to invite you to their daily party.
