Manila
Manila is a modern metropolis which has retained its original character with many cathedrals and colonial landmarks. If you like big cities, you’ll love MANILA: a high-speed, frenetic place, where you can eat, drink and shop 24 hours a day and where the Filipino heritage of native, Spanish, Chinese and American cultures are at their most mixed up. And while the older parts of the city remain shabby and run-down, sparkling districts like Makati, Ortigas and Bonifacio Global City are smart and skyscraper-smothered, like any other booming Asian metropolis. Manila prides itself on the quality of its restaurant scene, nightlife and the ability of its residents to whip up a good time. For many tourists, this will be their enduring memory of the place: fabulous food, funky bars and nightclubs in areas such as Malate and Makati. And don’t forget, Manila is still a great place to pick up bargains.
