Day 1: ARRIVAL IN MANILA
Mabuhay – welcome to Manila! The metropolis of Manila, widely known as Metro Manila, is the center of business and finance, entertainment, culture, politics, and transportation in the Philippines. Some of the country’s historical tourist spots, dating back all the way from the Spanish era from more than 400 years ago, may also be found in the city. Intramuros, also known as the ‘Walled City,’ is the oldest district and historic center of Manila. This was the original seat of the Spanish government during the time that the Philippines was under the Spanish rule. Fort Santiago, is just a few steps from Intramuros, where the Philippine national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, was held captive before he was executed at Luneta Park. Metro Manila’s social scene is second to none, with shopping malls, dining and entertainment that continue to thrive in and around the city. SM Mall of Asia is considered as Southeast Asia’s third largest mall and Greenhills is famous for a mid- to-upscale bargain center. The gourmand side of Filipinos is evident in the growing number of restaurants that cater to different types of cuisines. Some popular dining venues and nightclubs in the metro include Greenbelt in Makati, Serendra and Bonifacio High Street at The Fort with its many skyscrapers that light up the sky at night. Upon arrival at Manila airport, meet & greet assistance by our airport representative. Transfer to your hotel for check-in.
