The capital of Philippines, Manila is a bayside city filled with so much history and culture. Head over to Intramuros, the Walled City, and witness the architecture that will leave you wondering if you're really in a city in Asia! Or head to Binondo, the city's Chinatown and feast on a fusion of Filipino-Chinese delicacies.
Satisfy your search for thrills at Enchanted Kingdom - the country's very first theme park - or make a stop at Manila Ocean Park for a world-class marine park experience! And for the best photos, why not head to The Dessert Museum for your instagram worthy shots? If nature is your thing, why not head to the Pagsanjan Falls and spend the day on a bangka (outrigger boat) or take a hike up to Taal Volcano's crater?
