MANILA - Philippines Travel Guide

Manila is the capital of the Philippines and its second most populous city. This highly urbanized city is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay, in the extreme west of Luzon, 1,300 km from the Asian mainland. Manila is the most densely populated city in the world.

Technically, sixteen cities and one municipality make up what is officially known as Metro Manila, covering a vast area of ​​636 square kilometers. One of the greatest natural resources of Manila is the protected port in which it is located, considered the best in all of Asia. The Pasig River runs through the center of the city, dividing it into north and south.

Manila was the capital of the Spanish Philippines for hundreds of years and became one of the richest cities in the empire. Today, visitors can explore this rich heritage in reconstructed colonial houses like Casa Manila, the walls of Fort Santiago, and lavish palaces like Malacañang, now the seat of the national government.
