• Rizal Park - Begin the Manila city tour with a visit to Rizal Park, named in tribute to the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. After a quick photo opportunity, continue to the Walled City of Intramuros to explore the remnants of Spain’s conquistadores.
• Fort Santiago - Visit Fort Santiago, a historic Spanish fortress at the mouth of the Pasig River, where significant events in Philippine history took place.
• San Agustin Church - Stroll through the cobbled streets to San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the country, and admire its extensive collection of ecclesiastical icons, vestments, and other religious artifacts.
• Casa Manila - Cross over to Casa Manila, a replica of a 19th-century house adorned with oriental and European décor, along with Philippine antique furniture.
• Binondo - Then, hop on a horse-drawn carriage known as a ‘calesa’ and head to Chinatown in Binondo, crossing the Pasig River, and down an alley leading to Binondo Church, another historical site built by the Spaniards in 1596. Pause at the church’s entrance for a brief stop, and walk towards Ongpin, a street marked by its Chinese-style arches at the entrance.

This narrow street opens up to a network of alleys and side streets filled with small shops, Chinese drugstores, restaurants, and residential houses. Binondo’s commercial activity includes banks, retail, and wholesale shops offering a variety of items, from Chinese curios and delicacies to textiles, jewelry, and construction materials. A leisurely walk leads to numerous gold jewelry shops at the other end of Ongpin, where an old Spanish fountain stands near the entrance to Sta. Cruz Church. Stop briefly at Sta. Cruz Church, built in 1608 by Jesuit priests, then proceed to Escolta, a few blocks away. Rich in history, it was once a convoy route used by the British Navy from 1762 to 1764, and the shopping hub for the elite during the Spanish and American eras. Today, what remains of the once-renowned “Queen of Streets” are two notable pre-World War II buildings, the Regina Building and the Perez-Samanillo Building. The former features neo-Classical architecture, while the latter showcases Philippine art deco architecture designed by Andres Luna de San Pedro, son of Juan Luna, the country’s esteemed painter and creator of the ‘Spolarium’. Take some time to explore the area before returning to the hotel.
