10 days in Manila Itinerary

The capital of the Philippines and the "Pearl of the Orient," Manila truly resembles a gem: rough on the outside, but glittering within.

Venture out of the city with trips to Enchanted Kingdom (in Santa Rosa), Makati (Ayala Triangle Gardens, Greenbelt Mall, &more) and Pasay (Villamor Golf Course & Resorts World Manila). And it doesn't end there: stroll around Rizal Park, explore and take pictures at Fort Santiago, examine the collection at National Museum, and stop by SM Mall of Asia.
