Manila is the largest city and capital of the Philippines, in South East Asia. It is a lively city, a buzz with culture, food stalls and friendly local Filipino people. The chaotic city has an eclectic mix of buildings that range from Spanish colonial styles to ultra-modern skyscrapers. The city is one of contrasts, gleaming shopping malls stand proudly next to market stores, while food vendors offer authentic food against top restaurants. During your stay in Manila you shouldn’t miss the Walled City of Intramuros, which stands for the Spanish city, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ermita, Manila Ocean Park, Malate district, the National Museum Complex and Rizal Park, the largest urban park in Asia. There's lots of history, museums, plenty of cool eats and sights to see in Manila.
