30 Things to do in Manila
•Take a tour of the Malacanang Palace. As the country’s Presidential residence, you may enter its premises and take in the sights of the palace’s museums. •Watch as awe-inspiring performance of The Amazing Show at the Manila Film Center. See French style CanCan, traditional Filipino dances and even excerpts from famous Broadway musicals. •Pay homage to Jose Rizal by visiting Fort Santiago. This Spanish colonial fort was the prison that held Rizal during his final days. You can retrace Rizal’s steps that lead from the Fort towards Rizal Park. •Get your future told in front of the Quiapo Church. While the Quiapo Church is notably one of the most patronized churches in the entire country, you can have the opportunity to have your future told through tarot cards and palm readings right at the church plaza. •Respectfully yet inspiringly walk through the Manila Chinese Cemetery. Marvel at large, grand and sometimes comical family mausoleums that can be found inside. -
