Exploring Manila

The streets of Metro Manila are always busy. From businesses going about on a daily basis to tourist attractions that are often packed with wanderers, it is no wonder why Metro Manila is considered as the Philippines' capital city. Of course, Metro Manila is not only beneficial for its residents. If you're visiting the city, here are some things you can do:

Explore great finds

Whether you're looking for awesome gifts for friends and loved ones or simply looking for cute things to add to your stash, Manila's got the right places for you and it's called Divisoria. Here, you can find affordable items perfect for the holiday season or any gift-giving occasion. In fact, if you're lucky, you can even find great thrift items here. Also, you can choose a hotel in Sta. Cruz Manila so that you wouldn't be too tired at the end of the day. There are lots of hotels to choose from.

Wander through olden days

Metro Manila is teeming with culture and most of it are due to past colonizers. You can see a great mix of cultures here including European and Chinese. For international tourists, exploring the walled city of Intramuros is a must-add to your bucket list. You'd probably have a better understanding of the country's history once you've roamed Intramuros and heard about its stories. Just a quick note, not all of the stories are quite pretty.

Eat good food

Binondo is a city in Metro Manila where you can find great authentic Chinese food at a friendly price. The city is Manila's Chinese community and for the past years, its tourism had been growing popular. You can now book Binondo tours that take you to some of Binondo's hidden gems or you can do a food trip tour where you are taken to the inner parts of Binondo to taste mouthwatering dimsums, dumplings, and may other Chinese favorites.

These are just some of the many different activities you can do in Metro Manila. Feel free to explore tours so that you can get to know the city more, whether you're a local or someone who's visiting the country for the first time.


Having Manila adventures can be tiring. While you're at it, if you're looking for a Manila hotel in the Philippines, you might want to have a look at Manila Grand Opera Hotel. This hotel in Sta. Cruz Manila brings you closer to the places where you can explore great finds and is easily accessible from public transportation. Check out www.manilagrandopera.com for more information.
