Street food, parks and landmarks: Explore your senses in Manila

Manila is an interesting city in that it is made up of several towns that eventually just grew into each other. Chinatown, the university district, the historical centre... Manila is the multi-cultural hub of the Philippines that is just waiting to be discovered! That being said, it's a hard city to navigate since it has no "real" city centre. Let your taste buds go wild in Manila, there are street food vendors everywhere. Be aware though that street food here isn't as clean as you would find in Singapore, Bangkok or Taiwan. There are no hygiene regulations. Dig into local delicacies like balut (boiled duck embryo), chicharon (pork rinds), isaw (chicken intestines) and banana cue (fried banana slices). Hungry?

Parks and landmarks are what fill the average tourist's day. Rizal Park is also known as Luneta, located outside the walled city. It's filled with cool museums, bay-side restaurants and even has an open-air theatre. For quiet and wilderness head to Arroceros Forest Park located behind the Metropolitan Theatre. It is named after the rice trade which happened along the Pasig river during colonial times. The city's top landmarks include Baywalk, Bonifacio Shrine, Intramuros, Mabini Shrine and Malacañang Palace.

There are many scams against tourists including one, where someone pretends to recognise you from your hotel. They lure you away from the busy street and steal all your money.
