2025 Metro Manila Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#TravelEco 🏙️🏢✨🇵🇭 In addition to the old town, there are also business districts or rich neighborhoods in the Philippines. 🪿👀👦🏻Teenagers will gather here to do shopping activities. 🍶🐎🪞There are many restaurants, cafes, brand-name #museums. 🛵🕰️🚲Kids will ride bicycles and run around because the road will be closed to cars. 🚗🏎️ It's really good. ✨🇵🇭 Everything looks very developed, clean, and full of skyscrapers. 🏢🏙️If you like tall buildings, I highly recommend this place. #Manila #PhilippinesTravel #PhilippinesReview #bgctaguig #naturalattractions #travelplan #Philippines #PhilippinesTravel #Manila #PhilippinesReview #DuckTravel🪿

#aprilblooms 🇵🇭 Pristine Philippines💙 Leaving the bustling streets of Chinatown, I find myself walking under the stunning Filipino-Chinese Friendship Arch, a beautiful testament to the harmony between these two cultures. The archway is adorned with intricate designs, reflecting the shared history and values that bind the Filipino and Chinese communities together. As I continue my journey, I step onto the historic Jones Bridge, which elegantly spans the Pasig River. This iconic bridge, with its neoclassical architecture, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding cityscape. The gentle flow of the river beneath me and the vibrant life along its banks create a picturesque scene that captures the essence of Manila. Each step along this path is a reminder of the rich history, culture, and natural beauty that the Philippines has to offer, making it a truly enchanting experience. 💜 #xmastrip #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #manila #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #asia #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip #travel #naturalwonders #couplestrip #thingstodo #philippines #hongkong #springwander

What would you like to do when you go to Manila in the Philippines? ? This time, I'll introduce 5 recommended places that are ☝️ when it comes to Manila! ① Intramuros Visiting the old walled city is a must-do when you come to Manila! But be careful! When you're walking through the ruins, some people will start showing you around even if you don't ask them to. They'll eventually ask you for money. They say "It's 2,000 yen," so you pay them, but they say "No, it's 2,000 yen per person," and come for an extra serving. Japanese people are being targeted, so be careful! ② SM Mall of Asia It's one of the largest shopping malls in Asia! ③ Manila Ocean Park It's one of the largest aquariums in Asia! ④ Sunset over Manila Bay When you think of Manila, you think of the sunset! You can't miss it! ⑤ City of Dreams It's an integrated resort that offers not only a casino, but also food, shopping, and entertainment. You can stay here for a night or so. There's also a pool for guests. #Philippines #Manila #Asia travel #trip overseas travel

#100waysoftravel #manila #philipines Manila is a metropolitan area with a population of over 10 million. The metropolis is called Metro Manila, but is often simply called Manila by foreigners and non-residents, and consists of 17 cities and municipalities. This article is about the city; see Metro Manila for the metropolitan area. It is the second most populous city in the Philippines after Quezon City, the former capital of the Philippines. Manila and its surrounding areas were unified as Metro Manila to facilitate the management of this super-growth area. Today, the city and its metropolis thrive as cultural and economic centers. But the city also suffers from problems of overpopulation, traffic congestion, and pollution.

Mini Venice in Manila, Philippines! I visited Venice Grand Canal Mall❤️ As soon as I entered, the colorful buildings and blue waterways caught my eye! After going inside the mall and shopping, you can buy coffee or juice and walk along the waterways, and you can walk along the pretty path surrounded by pretty flowers and flower pots and look around! Oh, just like Venice, you can ride a boat along the waterways at Venice Grand Canal Mall!! You can easily see everything in 2 hours, so if you are visiting Manila, Philippines, I recommend stopping by and taking a look!! 📍McKinley Hill Dr, Taguig, 1630 Metro Manila, Philippines #Philippines #HotPlace #CityTravel

I and my friends went to Pasay last June for a conference. And on our last day there, we decided to visit Dolomite. Truly, if you are someone coming from Davao and a legit DABAWENYO, this Dolomite Beach is one of the many things that you can be proud of because of our Tatay President Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte who is our beloved Mayor of Davao years back and now became our former president before BBM. Dolomite Beach is one of his sooooo many projects! from messy to a great story! Dolomite Beach is the former MANILA BAY. Above photos gives you an idea of the BEFORE and AFTER of our 2-Kilometer Long artificial beach line. PRRD for Philippines! #dolomitebeach #manilabay #prrdproject #du30project #duterteadmin #beachlife

Dessert Museum is a nice place. The money that you will spend here is worth it. it will make your Instagram more colorful and also for me its a stress reliever from loads of work into colorful. Perfect for all ages. ❤️ For kids and for young at heart. I actually felt like I got transported back to when I was just 7 years old. Very instagrammable. #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Truly an amazing and wonderful place to stay at. All amenities and services are of very high standards. Grandiose Okada!

Luxurios, grand and extra! a must-try! #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

SM Mall of Asia is one of the largest malls in the Philippines, and even makes the list of the world's largest malls, too. It's certainly not your run-of-the-mill mall but is more of a tourist destination with lots to offer in terms of shopping, leisure, and entertainment. Situated right by the scenic Manila Bay, the mall is a sprawling complex boasting top-tier facilities and a good mix of local and global brands. You can easily spend a day or 2 here shopping or enjoying a drink by the bay in the evening. #nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic

I flipped through my phone album and saw the trip to Manila in February this year. I suddenly wanted to go out again. I didn't have much time to arrange to visit other islands that time, so I was mainly in Manila, but it was also a very good experience! I will come again next time if I have the chance~

A coffee and an art gallery! Another specialty coffee around Kapitolyo in Pasig. The small space have a mix elements of modern and traditional artworks. This is such a good reading spot as well, giving a good private experience, comfy, and more intentional. This place serves a co-working space as well for digital nomads and wfh corporate friends. I love the vibes, friendly barista, and good music! Perfect place to bring close friends and special guests who loves a good quiet time. A spot for artists and creative thinkers! Attentive service. Nice ambience. Pastries are good, but I wouldn't recommend the sandwiches. I spent a relaxed couple of hours here on a Saturday morning doing some reading and sipping on coffee. Menu Ordered: - Vietnamese Coffee ₱175 - Cappucino ₱200 Address: 51 W Capitol Dr, Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines Open Hours: 07:00 - 20:00 #gentingattractions

I love the precision of taste I’m looking for in a coffee. The cafe boasts its neat and sleek facade, a bit city centric for me, but that’s alright. The confidence it gives me in every sip! And I’ve tried both worlds, the hot and and cold coffee and I must say, it’s worth the price and my time. The high ceiling adds a good space for great conversations, and aroma of the coffee right in the center. One of my modern cafe favs! The atmosphere in the afternoon is quite comfortable for working and chatting. The letsk is strategic and broad. Drinks and food are delicious, if you like things that aren't too sweet, you can ask for less sugar. Menu Ordered: - Blood Cold Crema (Nitro Coffee) ₱170 - Their Signature Sagada Honey Lavender Latte (iced) ₱180 Address: G/F MITSUKOSHI BGC, 8th Ave, Corner 36th St, Taguig, 1630 Metro Manila, Philippines Open Hours: 07:00 ~ 22:00 #gentingattractions

I just got from a fun event called Wet Market in Makati with close friends when we decided to go find a spot to refuel our energy. We found this korean cafe. The facade can be quite deceiving but I’m glad I pushed the door and it felt like a space travel, I got trasported to the future. The soft light that illuminates the coffee bar makes the cafe look like a dance studio, the black walls makes the space even bigger. I love the coffee aroma that welcomed me. It’s a newly opened cafe near VA Rufino and Salcedo that offers a unique korean cafe experience. I had fun memories with my friends, while enjoying the stylish and innovative coffee drinks. Menu Ordered: -Iced Long Black ₱180 - Cappucino Address: Rufino St, Corner Salcedo, metro manila, Philippines Open Hours: 10:00 ~ 22:00 #gentingattractions

If I’m feeling I needed a coffee treat and I’m feeling a little extra, then Arabica Cafe is one of my go to place. Such a bright sleek cafe that offers great coffee! We are talking about good quality coffee. The cafe features a high ceiling modern interior design that can be very intimading at times. I just feel like walking in a runway everytime I come here! Good vibes and a must try! The coffee here is a standout feature. We tried the vanilla latte and butter cream latte, both of which leaned towards the sweet side but were well-balanced to avoid overwhelming the palate. The coffee itself was strong, giving a good kick that kept me alert—a definite plus! The ambiance at this cafe is truly special. Hidden within an unassuming building entrance, stepping inside feels like entering a chic club. I particularly loved the minimalist decor, which was both cohesive and aesthetically pleasing. Menu Ordered: - Spanish Latte ₱250 - Cappucino Address: GF, Shangri-La at The Fort, 5th Ave, Taguig, 1634 Metro Manila, Philippines Open Hours: 07:00 ~ 22:00 #gentingattractions
