Manila|24-hour layover✈️ Explore 10 city attractions without rushing
This is my 4th visit to Manila, with the experience of the previous 3 times, there is no sense of unfamiliarity at all, so there is no particular concern about those recent problems. The only concern was only the typhoon issue, the 1st typhoon formed in the Philippines on the 26th of May, and I also happened to arrive however, luck was kind of good, only the night of the 26th met with heavy rain in Manila, and the weather was good on the 27th!
There are not many attractions in Manila, they are in two areas, you can play a day at a fairly leisurely pace. My personal favourite is the Agustin Church, and the Ferris wheel sunset, enough netflix, the atmosphere is full of sense!
1 Day Tour Route
Chinatown - Santiago Castle - Manila Cathedral - St Augustine's Church - Lunch in King City - Rizal Park - Manila Bay - Ferris Wheel on the beach - Dinner and shopping at the malls
Tour Duration
Castle tour takes 1h, Manila Cathedral 30min, St Augustine's Cathedral + Museum 1.5h.
Monday all museums are closed, I did not go, go to the park next to the beach to see, to go to the museum of each museum is recommended to leave enough 1h
Tickets
Castle visit 75p
Church does not need to spend, Augustine church exhibition hall needs 200p
My advice
Augustine must go to its museum to see, there are a lot of paintings on the first floor, the promenade is very atmospheric, the interior of the church is also very good shot, if you meet the guide to explain, it will be very interesting!
Scenic spots can walk a bit, attractions are not far from each other, there are many interesting sculptures can be photographed, I went early without very sunny and very hot choose to walk. Scenic area also have a sudden car to walk, super easy to play around the attractions of Wangcheng District!
Lunch I chose to Ilustrado Restaurant, but paella need to wait 45min, I have some time to come, and finally ordered pork chops, too hard very costly cheeks, a little salty, poured sauce a little bit of sour smell ... a 650 pesos, serving is also slow, urging does not matter, but also the service charge of 10 per cent!
Out of the King City is Rizal Park, very sunny not much to see, to go to the museum can be considered to pass by the card!
About the Ferris wheel
King of Spain to the Ferris wheel can take a taxi, you can also take the light rail to edsa station, take a jeepney to go (see the home page of the previous guide for more details on transport)
🌍 on the beach can rank the number of sunset, sitting on the embankment waiting for the sunset is really romantic! Ferris wheel is the last time to ride, less than 20rmb, more expensive than Hong Kong's 2 yuan!
Another, take the fast rail to come, can pay attention to the station out of the trolley, are numbered, I think it is safer!
