Lonely Planet Philippines: Manila

Lonely Planet Philippines: Manila

Greg Bloom
3.7/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Includes FREE planning and background information. Manila is an intriguing travel destination. As with most capital cities, Manila is not only the seat of the national government, it’s also the main exporter of the country’s cultural capital. As a result, there’s quite a lot to learn here: some good, and some not so good. You’ll need to dig fairly deep underneath the surface, however, because this isn’t the sort of city where a huge infusion of tourist spending has led to a particularly impressive tourism infrastructure. In fact, something you may notice as you go about your day in the city’s less visited yet still approachable neighbourhoods, such as Quiapo or Pasay City, is just how uninterested in you the locals appear to be. In the tourist enclaves of Intramuros and Malate, of course, where the hucksters and streetwalkers ply their trade, the exact opposite will prove true. But if you’re a traveller who likes to get a feel for the pulse of a place just before the rest of the world storms in, it’s quite likely that Manila may just be the sort of town you’ve been looking for.
