Manila Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles

As the populous, resilient capital of the Philippines, Manila embodies the heart and soul of the country. The continuous ebb and flow of development has morphed Manila from a Spanish colonial city to a modern metropolis of towering skyscrapers as well as sprawling shantytowns that still overwhelm parts of the city. Manila has a burgeoning art and music scene. There are art galleries, hip coffee shops, speakeasies and dance clubs galore with plenty of venues for the LBGT community. So between the many historic and cultural attractions be sure to have some fun in the city that hardly sleeps.

Probably the most popular tourist destination within Manila is Itramuro, the old walled Spanish city. Characterised by wide boulevards, charming colonial houses and a variety of remnants leftover from the Spanish rule. The walls you see encircling the district are as same as they stood 400 years ago. Explore the monastery of St Agustin and marvel at the immaculate and ornate interior then wander to Fort Santiago where you can enjoy spectacular views of the city.

Manila has no shortage of first-class accommodation with many four and five star high-rise hotels. Two of the most well reviewed hotels in the city are, the Pan Pacific Manila and the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. Spend a leisurely morning or afternoon strolling the wooded paths around Rizal Park. This verdant city escape is spread out over 60 hectares with many ponds, lush lawns, and neatly sculpted gardens to explore.

Two noteworthy museums you will want to visit are; the Ayala Museum, bursting with wonderfully curated exhibits on Filipino art, history and culture and the National Museum of the Filipino People which houses thousands of artefacts from pre-Hispanic to pre-Historic.

Catholicism is deeply entrenched in Filipino culture and Manila hosts many religious festivals every year. A visit to the Quiapo Church is a wonderful way to learn about, and appreciate this religious reverence.

Manila is known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ and it doesn’t take long to understand why. Beneath the seemingly hard exterior Manila is an engaging and well-cultivated island destination.
