Post Make the most of Manila's chaotic charm-spun4
Take full advantage of Manila's chaotic charm
It is a world from carefully planned Asian cities like Singapore -- that makes it perfectly suited for visitors who don't need their lives hermetically sealed in air-conditioned shininess.
Manila is alive with a mixture of cultures, from Spain, China and also the numerous Philippines islands. Sights to gawp at are thin on the ground, however the city streets have enough going on to enthrall the most disinterested visitor.
Though it was bombed to bits during the World war ii, Intramuros is one of the most coherent regions of the city. Worth a morning's visit, that old walled city's buildings (in other words that which was left of these) were left untouched, even when the region was handed an update in the 1980s. However it still retains a unique atmosphere in a city in which the capital's expanding population is reflected in its growing sprawl.
The Manila Cathedral was among the buildings pummeled within the war, but the rebuilt version is faithful to the original 16th-century edifice. Fort Santiago, once the guarding fortress of the city and the Pasig River, is now a war memorial. Nearby is Rizal Park, a green spot named following the national hero. What he'd make from the moat away from old city's walls being converted into a golf course is anybody's guess.
Taxis are the most useful way to negotiate the city, and they're cheap and plentiful, but it's worth jumping in to the back of a crazily colorful jeepney at least once, just for the knowledge.
Regardless of the means, head towards the towers of Makati,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of the most central areas that define Metro Manila. The place to find big businesses and major hotels that may cause you to feel like you're in Singapore, if you are there on a Saturday make sure you wander through Salcedo Market. This is an upmarket affair, relatively speaking, where you can grab some good local food and convey. Those hankering for excellent western food and a peek at Manila's long-lunching business-types should visit Apartment 1B on Lafayette Square.
As long as you're never far from a metropolitan vignette that contrasts using the central business district's gloss, it's best to plunge into another area of the city for more local color and flavor. A taxi ride away is Marikina City,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], home to some uniquely Manilan attractions.
When the shoe-making capital from the capital, you'll find Marikina Shoe Museum here. However it doesn't house just any shoes. No, it's basically a celebration of the shoes of Imelda Marcos, the country's former first lady, who still deeply divides opinions among Filipinos. A little kitsch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a bit weird,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with more than 605 pairs of her footwear (size eight . 5, should you have to know) and a selection of photos of the former first lady with world leaders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], complete with hilariously obsequious captions, it's a sight to behold.
Snap back to reality having a moto-taxi ride to Marikina City's market. The covered lanes really are a hive of stalls and intriguing local life. Heading back towards the central area of the city and Manila Bay, visit Cubao Expo. Located just off General Romulo Street it was formerly Marikina Shoe Expo, a mixture of shoe outlets for nearby factories.
Now the low-rise complex of boutiques, bars, galleries and antique shops needs to be a contender for hippest spot in Manila,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a town that does not bother itself an excessive amount of with anything so affected. Relaxed and fun, it's a great place to while away a couple of hours. Once the shops there close you will get some great local,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], homemade food, down a cocktail or Red Horse lager or two,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and wind down from the chaos of the streets and plot some evening entertainment.
Afterwards, head to Makati, one of the main areas for bars of varying descriptions and clientele. saGuijo Cafe + Bar is among the city's perfect for music. Attracting typically exuberant Manilan crowds, like several good live music venues it's a comforting, grimy edge. It hosts bands playing all sorts of music,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and, rare for Filipino bands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no covers. To push on through to the morning light, Embassy in Fort Bonifacio may be the club most abundant in in-crowd hipsters queuing to penetrate.
