5 Ways to Maximize Your Manila Stay

5. Indulge in the culture
Manila is rich in culture despite its growing modernity throughout the years. Yes, establishments had been springing up here and there but the capital city still managed to retain its historical values. One of the best historical places to explore is Intramuros which directly translates to “Walled City.” Intramuros is known for its olden-time Spanish style structures which can effectively take you back in time. It is the perfect place to take good travel photos, event photoshoots, or just simply enjoy an afternoon walk in history.

4. Eat all the food
Binondo, Manila is known for being rich in culture but not too much in a Filipino sense. Binondo, Manila is the Philippines' China Town where you can experience a great fusion of two cultures: the culture of the Chinese and the culture of the Filipinos which blends harmoniously to a create a whole new local culture. In Binondo, there are lots of authentic Chinese food created with love by our beloved Chinese-Filipino family. Binondo trips had been quite popular throughout the years so if you find yourself wandering around the streets of Manila, the Binondo cultural and food trip is something you'd definitely not want to miss out.

3. Chill and hang out
Other than the cultural places, Manila is popular for great hang-out places, too. SM Mall of Asia is located here in Manila and it is known to be one of the biggest malls in Asia and in the world. In here, you can find a lot of great restaurants, shops, and other activities you can do with your friends and family. It's surely a perfect place to spend your weekends in! You can also find other places to enjoy such as museums and theme parks if you want to do or experience something different with the people you love.

2. Watch the sunset
If there's such a thing as a Boracay sunset, there is a Manila sunset, too! Along Roxas Boulevard, you can find lots of places where you can simply sit around and enjoy the sight of the setting sun contrasting beautifully along Manila Bay. Friends, lovers, and even families love watching the Manila sunset so, it's definitely something you would not want to miss out.

1. Have a good place to stay
As you enjoy your Manila adventures, don't forget to have a place to stay where you can chill out as you cap your day.

Getting to experience the kapsule rooms will surely make your Manila experience extra special.
