Manila info
City information about Manila for our short stay apartment guests.
Manila is one of the mega-cities in the world with more than 15 million inhabitants. The capital of the Philippines, a grouping of twelve cities and five municipalities, is technically known as Metro Manila but usually referred to simply as Manila. Located on Manila Bay in the South China Sea and bisected by the Pasig River. The lively metropolis Manila is historic and modern, rich and poor, a blend of cultures and flavors. The city is filled with museums, shops, parks and churches, plus enough nightlife to last until dawn.
The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world. It has a history combining Asian, European and American influences. Prior to Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese.
A popular sight is the walled area called Intramuros. The oldest district of the city of Manila was built by the Spanish in order to protect themselves from attacks.
Along the northern bank of the Pasig river is Chinatown (Binondo), a symbol of the long history of Chinese presence in the Philippines long antedating the arrival of the Spaniards. Today it is an important trade and business center, and a primary bargain shopping destination.
The popular districts of Malate and Ermita showcase a wild variety of restaurants, clubs, bars, cafes, art and antique shops – truly, the ultimate cosmopolitan paradise.
It is an hour or two away from full-day excursions to Cavite and Corregidor Island, Batangas, and Laguna, replete with exceptionally beautiful beaches and stunning views.
