Essentials in Manila
San Augustin: As you can imagine, there is a lot of history in Manila. San Augustin is an UNESCO World Heritage Sight and is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It was built between 1587 and 1607 out of stone.
Fort Santiago: This place is a true witness to the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. Santiago used to be a prison and barracks during the Spanish colonial times but today the beautiful buildings house a museum.
Parks: 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 with a Manila car hire, located behind the Metropolitan Theatre.
