| Manila,
the capital of Philippines, is a flourishing metropolis
and home to over ten million people. If the facts and
figures are to be left aside, Manila has still a lot
to offer to its visitors in the form of myriad tourist
attractions that abound in this capital city. World
Travel 4 Indians takes you on Manila tours to help you
familiarize yourself with this thriving city in Philippines.
Your Manila tours should begin at the Intramuros
that has been the heart of Manila right from
the sixteenth century till the last quarter of the nineteenth
century. It is by far the best preserved medieval city
in the whole world. If you want to get a first hand
info on the historical and cultural background of Manila,
Intramuros is the place. It is the grand Spanish walled
enclave on the southern bank of the Pesig River. The
buildings and churches that are incorporated in it are
undergoing refurbishment. The inclusion of the parks,
performing venues, art galleries, memento shops and
restaurants has surely made this place much more than
a mere historic attraction.
The next stop over in your Manila tours is Fort
Santiago that stands as the symbolic representation
of the erstwhile Spanish colonial power. It is also
renowned as the Shrine for Freedom, consecrated to the
memory of the brave heart Filipinos immured and slaughtered
during the Spanish and the Japanese eras.
Rizal Park is a breath of fresh air
and a wonderful recreation and entertainment option
for the locals and the tourists alike. The park comprises
of a skating rink, decorative gardens and a chess plaza.
Don't forget to get to the east side of the park to
catch a glimpse of the replication of the Philippine
archipelago.
If you time don't miss out on, the American
Cemetery and Memorial, Manila Cathedral, Coconut Palace,
Manila City Hall, Paco Park, Roxas Boulevard and
Quezon Memorial Circle .
