Discount Manila Hotels for Your fantastic Manila Vacation!
Ideally located on the eastern shores of Manila Bay on Luzon Island, Manila has been renown since the ancient time as one of the important trading hubs of the region. It was also the center of Spanish trading activity in the Far East during the colonial era, and even today, the city takes part as the major businesses and trade center, the capital city, and administrative heart of the Philippines.
Manila is home to bustling commercial districts and historically and culturally significant iconic landmarks. The most renowned quarter of the city is Intramuros – the Walled City, the oldest district and historic core of Manila. At the first step inside “the wall”, you will feel as if you slide back to the middle age - surrounding by a lot of buildings made of stone bricks reminding to European medieval city. The Intramuros contains many famous attractions that worth a stopover, starting from Fort Santiago - a citadel at the mouth of the Pasig River where visitors can trace the legacy of the Spanish Colonial Era, Manila Cathedral - one of the most important churches in the Philippines, San Agustin Church – a UNESCO World Heritage church with amazing trompe l'oeil ceilings that miraculously survive the bombards during the WWII, and Casa Manila - a recreation of a Intamurous upper-class house of the colonial time.
One more thing that should not be missed when visit Manila City is to see the sunset over the boundary-less sea at Manila Bay. Here, you can also find a number of restaurants, night clubs sprawling along the bay where you can dine, drink and enjoy in the evening time.
