Manila City offers many interesting sights for tourists. The Rizal Park, which was built in honor of the Philippines' national hero, features miniature Chinese and Japanese gardens. The park is also the ideal place to view the spectacular and internationally renowned Manila Bay sunset. Aside from Rizal Park, there are also places of historical and religious significance such as the San Agustin church, Manila Cathedral, Fort Santiago and the old Walls of Intramuros.

 

There is an evident mix of the old and the new in terms of the architecture in Manila. It has modern high-rise buildings, but also has colonial houses and ruins that fascinate those who are interested in its rich history.

Manila is many things to many Filipinos. It is the seat of government, the center of fashion and culture, the fountainhead of all religious and educational movements; and of course, the exciting nightlife. It is politics and art; markets and churches; banks and universities - a city that is the melting pot of all the things essential to life.
