I have a quick trip to Manila, Philippines this weekend. I’ll be in Manila for just over 24 hours before heading home. The purpose of the trip is to retrieve my 2 grandkids from their Christmas vacation with their father (who is a USDOS employee). My hotel is near the airport.
So, any recs for a few things to do?
It will take about a day just to get anywhere in Manila. Traffic is horrible. I would download the Grab app (like Uber) and head over to Intramuros. It’s the old, historic walled area in the city. Have a wander and then walk or another Grab over to Rizal park. If you are not jet lagged you could maybe get a tour down to Tagaytay, the volcano in a lake in a volcano in a lake in a volcano. Or you could just do a spa day and pamper yourself.
