Best of Manila

Step into Manila’s fascinating past, as you visit several of the city’s most famous sights.

Afterwards, tuck into a delicious buffet lunch of international dishes before heading to the San Agustin Church and Museum. At this UNESCO Site that dates back to the 1571, you’ll find an extensive collection of religious artefacts.

Get a taste of life in the 19th century, as you stroll through Casa Manila, an authentic replica of a Spanish colonial mansion. Then find out about numerous key moments in the nation’s history at Fort Santiago, one of the city’s most important historical sites.

You’ll also see the Pasig River, which divides the city in half, before heading off to Rizal Park – the place where Filipino hero José Rizal was executed in 1896.
