Manila is the capital and main commercial centre of the archipelago of islands that form the Philippines. It has a colourful history with a wide variety of cultural influences. The magnificent views over Manila Bay have been greatly enhanced with the completion of the Baywalk, an area of bars and restaurants overlooking the bay. To escape the heat of the city, travel about an hour to Tagaytay, a popular picnic spot that benefits from cool breezes and spectacular mountain views or explore the extraordinary Taal Lake, which lies in the crater of a volcano. South of Manila lie the beautiful ‘bounty’ beaches of Cebu and Borocay - a reasonably short flight from the city.
The nightlife in Manila is legendary and there are numerous bars and restaurants open late into the night. Shopping opportunities are abundant in Manila with modern malls and lively flea markets. The gorgeous pearls and gold jewellery are generally good value here as long as the retailer is genuine. Manila is probably the best place in Asia for cheap, high quality tailoring and dress making with fabulous fabrics to choose from.
