Robinsons Place Mall
Robinsons Place Manila in Ermita is strategically located at the heart of historic City of Manila. A 7-level world-class shopping complex with more than 330 internationally known and popular local shops, dining outlets, entertainment facilities and service centers.

 

Shangri-La Plaza
Shangri-La Plaza in Epifanio de los Santos Avenue is the perfect place for bargain hunters. Spend the afternoon window shopping in chic Armani or buying pretty underwear in Marks & Spencer. There's a cosmopolitan food court and a Multiplex cinema for when the energy runs out.

SM Mall of Asia
The SM Mall of Asia, perched on Manila Bay in Pasay City, is the biggest shopping centre in the Philippines. As well as hundreds of shops, there's an Olympic-sized ice rink, an IMAX and countless bars and restaurants. There's even a little tram to ferry shoppers around.

Divisoria - Flea market
Chaotic and wonderfully colourful, Divisoria between Tondo and San Nicolas is a great place to spend the morning haggling. Stallholders offer accessories, textiles and kitchen utensils. Prices quoted are wholesale so feel free to get in the bargaining mood.

Chinatown
Crawl through the cramped streets of Chinatown in Binondo in an elaborate horse-drawn calesa (carriage) for souvenirs and gifts. Here cluttered shops sell jade figurines, carved jewellery, silk purses and horoscope key rings. When energy runs low, make a pit stop for chilli noodles.

Rufee Art Gallery
Mabini Street in Ermita is home to the Mabini group of local artists and is studded with tiny galleries. Rufee Art Gallery stands out from the crowd for its contemporary artwork and collection of Paco Gorospe's colourful and surreal work.

Silahis Arts and Artifacts
Located at The Silhais Center in Ermita, Silahis Arts and Artifacts sell quality Filipino handicrafts, ceramics, primitive art and sculpture. Look for handmade rattan chairs, basketry, brightly patterned textiles and simple, quality sustainable wooden furniture. They'll ship anything overseas.

Greenbelt Mall

Built around a 1.3-million-square-foot retail complex, Greenbelt's roster of prominent, world-class retailers, restaurateurs, and entertainment operators makes it an unparalleled shopping and entertainment destination.
