Manila Old Charm🌿 INTRAMUROS

Hey everyone! Today, I'm sharing an amazing experience with a trip to Intramuros, a classic old town in the heart of Manila, Philippines. 🇵🇭 It's like stepping back in time to the Spanish era! If you're into historical aura – this is a must-see! 👑 Why Intramuros? If you're a history buff or enjoy taking photos with beautiful buildings, Intramuros is the place to be! "Intramuros" literally means "within the walls," as it's surrounded by a majestic stone wall to keep out pirates and other enemies in the past. Inside, the Spanish vibe is palpable. The cobblestone streets and sparkling colonial buildings make walking around feel like you're in a period film! The interior is easy to navigate, with churches, museums, and forts to explore. If you're a fan of beautiful photos, you'll find stunning angles everywhere. 🍂 How to Get Around Intramuros - Pedicab: Just like our local pedicabs! Ride pillion and enjoy the city views. It's truly a local experience, and you'll feel like a local! 🚴♂️ - Kalesa (Horse-drawn Carriage): Recreate the nostalgic charm of a prince or princess! Ride a horse-drawn carriage around the city for a classic feel, but it's a bit more expensive than other options. - Bamboo Bike: A must-try for green enthusiasts!
