Get to know Manila

Manila spans an area of nearly 39 sq km and accommodates more than 1.6 million people, making it the most densely populated city in the world. It is the second most populous city in the Philippines after its neighbour Quezon City.

The metropolitan region that encompasses the capital is significantly larger, with nearly 21 million citizens inhabiting an area of more than 630 sq km.

Manila is a lively and vibrant city, home to everything from busy commercial districts and government institutions to historical landmarks and sports facilities.

One of the best ways for travellers to get around is to use the integrated railway line, which serves areas such as Malate, Ermita, Quiapo, Binondo and Santa Cruz. Taxis and bus services are also available for holidaymakers who want to see different parts of the city during their stay.

One of the best ways to familiarize oneself with Manila and get a feel of the city is by visiting some of its diverse and colorful neighborhoods, such as Binondo, which is also known as the Chinatown district. Here, visitors can sample Chinese food, explore markets and see sights including churches and temples.

Situated at the northern end of the popular tourist hotspot of Manila Bay is Intramuros, which encompasses the remains of an old walled Spanish settlement. Cathedrals, churches and other historic sites are situated in the area, as well as some of the city's most interesting museums.

One of the most impressive sights the Filipino capital has to offer is the Coconut Palace. This grand building was commissioned by First Lady Imelda Marcos for the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1981.

Manila's range of indoor attractions includes Ocean Park, which is one of the largest sites of its kind in Asia, covering an area larger than that of the famous Sentosa oceanarium in Singapore. Visitors can see more than 300 different species of marine creatures, many of which are indigenous to the Philippines and south-east Asia.

An insight into the capital city's past is on offer at Rizal Park, which has a history stretching back to the early 17th century, a time of Spanish rule. The park, which is also known as Luneta, is home to a monument to Dr Jose Rizal, who became a martyr and a hero of the Philippine Revolution when he was executed at the site in 1896.
