Guide Summary
Oh, Manila! Where do I even begin? This metro capital consists of 16 different cities and has so much to offer. It’s a city that barely sleeps! Experience jeepney rides, walking in a 400 year-old walled city built by the Spanish, bargain-hunting in street markets, exploring Chinatown, eating the infamous Balut (fertilised duck egg) street-side or in one of Asia’s 50 best restaurants. You’ll surely never run out of things to do.

Plus a bonus of common Filipino terms that will surely make Filipinos smile when you say them. So what are we waiting for? Tara na (Let’s go) and get started!
