If you want to have a great time in the city, you have to visit Intramuros, which is the “Walled City”. It was built during the Spanish regime, and still looks beautiful. The cobblestone streets which were once trudged by the Spaniards, are windows to beautiful Spanish architecture. Also, go to Malate and visit two of the oldest churches in Manila, which are the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church. Experience a breezy afternoon at the Baywalk, which is a long strip of walkway on Roxas Boulevard. You can watch the beautiful Manila sunset at Manila Bay.

Malate is famous for party people. but id rather not go there. they say its a hot spot for drug-addicts.

I've been there and its a great place to party. There are a lot of cool places to hang out and have fun.

Malate has been a dangerous place to go to. it has been dangerous because of the "bad" boys who are roving around the place daily.

It is good to know that someone from outside our country finds Manila interesting enough. Yes, Intramuros is pretty fascinating and historically significant to Filipinos. Thank you for the article you wrote.

I heard that the spots in the Philippines have been restored beautifully. it goes to show that the filipinos have learned. just like the baywalk.
