My Trip

Manila's essential first-timer sights cluster within walking distance inside the Spanish colonial walled city of Intramuros, so spend the whole morning on foot, then see the Spoliarium at the National Museum in the afternoon before crossing by kalesa (horse carriage) or a short taxi to Binondo, the world's oldest Chinatown, to cap the day with dinner. Walking is fastest inside Intramuros, and this order makes sense while dodging Manila's notorious traffic.
