Minor Basilica of San Sebastian and Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Archdiocese of Manila)
Manila’s got hidden architectural gems and, trust me, these are worth your camera roll! 🏰🕍 If you’re all about epic vibes, the Minor Basilica of San Sebastian and Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel are two must-see spots that seriously stand out from Manila’s modern hustle. Must-See Places: 1. Minor Basilica of #sansebastiancathedral (San Sebastian and Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Archdiocese of Manila)) Pasaje del Carmen St, Quiapo, Manila, 1001 Metro #manila, Philippines Hours: open 6:30 AM–6 PM, but double-check before you go. Free entry. What’s special? Think: towering spires, stained glass, and ironwork that give off that rare, old-school European feel in Southeast Asia. 🏰 Architectural lovers, don’t miss this! Pro Tips: - The church isn’t far from the airport; it’s just about a 35-minute Grab ride away, making it a chill first stop. - Grab (the rideshare app) is your best bet for stress-free transport. No need for cash; pay via card or in-app wallet. - Snap photos of the interiors but be respectful during ongoing services. - The area around Quiapo offers street eats and local snacks, so try some “kwek-kwek” (fried quail eggs) or “halo-halo” right after your visit! 🍧 Getting There & Around: Manila’s traffic can get wild, but taking a Grab to this spot keeps things simple. If you’re bouncing to other sights nearby, short walks or quick rides work best. Quick Tips: Cash is king in Manila’s street markets and snack stalls. No visa needed for up to 30 days for most nationalities. Weather gets hot and humid—dress light! #ManilaSpots #GothicManila #TravelTipsPH #PhilippinesGuide
