Top experiences in the Philippines

Spend time exploring Cebu’s (CEB) sights before hopping around other beautiful destinations in the Visayas. Snap a picture of the thought-provoking Cebu Heritage Monument, travel back in time at the 1730 Jesuit House, visit the Fort of San Pedro, hunt for souvenirs along Colon Street, and admire the views from Tops Lookout. There are many religious and cultural sites to discover, and families will surely enjoy time spent at Cebu Westown Lagoon, Terrazas De Flores Botanical Garden, Mountain View Nature Park, and Jumalon Butterfly Sanctuary. Studded with gorgeous islands, the clear, blue waters nearby teem with marine life.

Fly to Manila (MNL), the nation’s capital, to connect with many marvellous places around Luzon and beyond. Stroll or take a horse-drawn carriage ride around Intramuros, the city’s historic heart, and visit historic places like San Agustin Church and Museum, Manila Cathedral, Casa Manila, and Fort Santiago. Unwind in the pretty Rizal Park, wander along Manila Baywalk, and appreciate the collections at the National Museum of Fine Arts. Kids will like Paco Park, Ocean Park, KidZania, and Star City theme park, while Pinto Art Museum is a hidden gem.

• Haggling is commonplace when buying goods and services.
• Look for ATMs/cashpoints that don’t charge commission for foreign bank cards.
