METRO MANILA AND ENVIRONS






BEST SPOTS

MUSEUMS. The U-shaped government belt within Luneta features the National Museum, the Museum of the Filipino People, and the Department of Tourism building, future address of the Museum for Natural Sciences.

TOURIST BELT. A stone’s throw away from Rizal Park is the Ermita and Malate districts, known as Manila’s Tourist Belt. Ermita is antique and art galleries, curio and souvenir shops while Malate is cozy cafes, music lounges, and performance theaters.

SUNSET BOULEVARD. Roxas Boulevard, which extends from Paranaque City to Manila; it is the bay area from where one can have a view of the famed Manila sunset. It is also lined with posh hotels, casinos and lively nightspots. The Baywalk , a promenade along the  boulevard, features bars and restaurants with nightly entertainment.





FOOD TRIP. Metro Manila is one big gastronomic adventure. Fusion cuisine as well as authentic fare abounds in centers and hubs as well as along side streets and off-the-beaten-track. To name a few, The Ilustrado Restaurant in Intramuros serves Spanish provincial cuisine; the old Malate district is a favorite watering hole; while authentic Chinese cuisine can be had at Binondo.



TAAL VOLCANO. This enchanting volcano within a lake is the smallest in the world. Witness the splendor of the volcano with a panoramic view from the Tagaytay ridge.
