What travelers are saying
- Jose SBaguio, Philippines6 contributionsOn the way I visit fort Santiago. There is a lot of people and it's close to Rizal park would recommend others to visit this place in a visit to manilaWritten March 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jason SMelbourne, Australia2,025 contributionsFort itself is more of a ruin that an active fort, worth a look around and only 75 peso entry.
Some areas are ok to see and you can get a good feel how fort would have worked, surrounding walls in good shape and good to see.
Dungeon area very well preserved and explained with the horrors that occurred in there, also on day I visited lots of school groups so good that local students explore history of country.
In all good to see and do, you can visit in under an hour.Written January 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Exquisite architecture to the church, with this religious establishment meaning the most to the locals than all the other churches and cathedrals.
Probably my favorite of the churches to visit, so I would put this high on the list of things to see in Manila.Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everything you need and huge supermarket. Local shops and amazing Christmas spirit. Was fun to see and to be.
All shopping at one go and few meters from my hotel. PerfectWritten March 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Doubles up also as monument to Philippines independence with lots of other things to see and do.
Large water feature in middle of park with many seats around so you can relax and enjoy the park. With gardens to enjoy also, it's such a great place to experience the history of Manila and the Philippines.Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jason SMelbourne, Australia2,025 contributionsGreat Cathedral to see with in the walled city, history surrounds the whole area, and the Cathedral has been a part of that for almost 500 years. This is not the original Cathedral but still very impressive to see.
Amazing architecture throughout the cathedral and certainly one of the top attractions to see.Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Bontaks TravelsSydney, Australia638 contributionsWe aimed to get to the museum right on opening, which we thought was 8am. We were working with a map downloaded from the Government Intramuros Tourism website. When the museum opened at 9am there was a sign on the ticket office saying that the opening time was changed from 8am to 9am in March 2023 – over a year ago. The government website needs to update its maps.
The Museo San Agustin is far bigger and grand than one first expects. The church itself is the oldest stone church in The Philippines (completed in 1607). There is so much to see and learn about the history of this church, the order and the role they played in the life, community and history of Manila. Some extraordinary relics and artworks on display throughout all floors of the cloister. The highlight was the choir/organ loft and the magnificent view of the church. You could easily spend a few hours here.

a lot of things have changed since then. for one, our national museum has expanded and housed a lot of other materials that were not present three decades prior. it has separate provisions now - one each for fine arts and for natural history. a full day is not enough to roam the place.
for a minimal fee, one can enjoy a guided tour of the place. be sure your cameras have full batteries and enough memory storage.Written February 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Teresa CMetro Manila, Philippines1,531 contributionsMajestically rising up in a square, this church commands attention. Colourful, towering statues are dotted around the perimeter and inside the church. Always busy with worshippers.
