Hear about trips from Manila as the Amateur Traveler talks to Justin from justin-Travel.com about where to go after visiting the Philippine capital.

Justin’s recommended itinerary for day trips from Manila includes a variety of locations within a one to three-hour drive, each offering a different experience. Here’s the suggested route:

Day 1: Exploring Manila

• Intramuros: Begin with a visit to the historic walled city. Explore landmarks like Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, and Casa Manila to get a sense of the city’s Spanish colonial history.
• Rizal Park: Walk through this significant historical park named after José Rizal, the national hero, to learn about the Philippines’ struggle for independence.
• Binondo (Chinatown): Enjoy a food crawl in the world’s oldest Chinatown. Discover local delicacies from street food stalls and eateries. Consider a Binondo food crawl guided tour to maximize your experience.
• Corregidor Island (Optional): If time allows, take a full-day tour to this historic island in Manila Bay, known for its World War II history. Tours usually depart from the SM Mall of Asia area.
