Discover top attractions in Manila and book a nearby hotel for extra convenience.
Chinatown
KkhccChinatown is not far from Manila Cathedral, about 15 minutes walk. The whole area is a bit old, the streets are narrow, and the environment is very ordinary. Except for the Chinese people, it is not a good place for shopping.
Robinsons Place Manila
KkhccBecause I live in a nearby hotel, I walk here for 3 minutes after registration and solve lunch by the way. Although a bit old, the mall should be a more large-scale shopping center in the city. It is very complete for eating and playing, and there are many choices for eating. It is a good place to go shopping.
The Manila Cathedral
CccmlA beautiful cathedral in Manila, it was originally built in the 1500s, but has been subject to numerous incidents and natural disasters, and the current building is the 7th rebuild dating to 1958!
Rizal Park
AAyoub-blRizal Park, or Luneta, is a chill spot in Manila where you can relax and soak in some history. It’s got green spaces, cool monuments like the Rizal Monument, and plenty of room for walks or picnics. Perfect for a break from the city hustle, whether you’re with family or just want to hang out.

San Agustin Church
中中西南北东The Cathedral of St. Augustine in Manila, Philippines, consists of two parts: the chapel and the monastery. The Baroque-style chapel is the architectural essence of the entire St. Augustine, while the monastery is a museum, which houses a large number of precious items such as vestments, golden chalices, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk cloaks embroidered with gold thread, and oil paintings. The focus of this article is the organ in the church, which is rare to see.
As a world historical and cultural heritage, the Cathedral of St. Augustine has also experienced the destruction of war, and many precious collections have been lost in various wars. After the end of World War II, St. Augustine was rebuilt. The church and the first monastery have restored their appearance. In 1965, in order to commemorate the 400 years of the spread of Catholicism in the Philippines, St. Augustine exhibited photos of hundreds of churches built between the 16th and 19th centuries across the country, which gave rise to the idea of creating a museum. Since then, St. Augustine has continuously collected various precious cultural relics lost in various wars and displayed them in the monastery for the public to see. Today, St. Augustine is not only a church and a monastery, but also a museum that houses many Philippine and Spanish art treasures. It is an important place to display the historical and cultural treasures of the Philippines and is well worth visiting. I think a whole day is not enough.
