What our customers ask about Manila Tours & Trips
How many days should I spend in Manila before exploring other parts of the Philippines?
Plan for 2-3 days in Manila to get a solid introduction to the Philippines. The city works well as a starting point with regular flights to beach destinations like Puerto Princesa and El Nido. Start at Intramuros and Binondo (Chinatown) on day one then explore modern spots like Mall of Asia and Okada Manila the next day. The Marriott Hotel near the airport makes a practical base for travelers with connecting flights. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "Starting our Philippines journey with 2 days in Manila gave us the perfect introduction to Filipino culture before heading to the islands."
What unique food experiences can I find in Manila?
Binondo the world's oldest Chinatown leads Manila's food scene with a mix of Filipino and Chinese fusion dishes. Local food tours take visitors through the district's narrow streets to try specialties like lumpia (spring rolls) and pancit (noodles).

December through February brings Manila's most comfortable weather with temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C) and lower humidity.
