The Walled City of Manila!

#traveldiaries Welcome to Intramuros, Manila. This is also known as The Walled City in urban district. Did you know that this is the oldest district in Manila too? Well, it is. It was established during Spanish colonial times. If you are someone like us who are curious more about what Manila has to offer. We think this is the first stop you should visit. We love the architecture it is definitely giving! It's very historical surrounding. Roaming around felt like you went back in time. Surely, you would reminiscence the past and how they lived and survived. This place can give us a reflection and appreciate life that we have right now. I definitely recommend this place. #manilaphilippines #historicallandmarks

Our Lady of Remedies Parish - Malate Church (Archdiocese of Manila)

Just wrapped up a 3D2N getaway at Manila Bay and honestly? It was part chill, part chaos, all charm. Whether you’re a history buff, a sunset chaser, or just hungry all the time (me), this one’s for you! 🌴✨ ⸻ 🛬 Day 1: History, Parks & Golden Hours 🕘 9:00 AM – Landed and headed straight to Rizal Park 🌳. It’s peaceful, patriotic, and smells like morning grass and food carts. 🕛 12:00 PM – Popped over to Intramuros 🏰 – Manila’s walled city! Explored cobblestone streets and felt like a character in a colonial novel. 🕒 3:00 PM – Stepped into San Agustin Church ⛪ – jaw-dropping interiors, soft light filtering in, and the air thick with history. 🕕 6:00 PM – Sunset along Manila Baywalk was a fiery masterpiece 🔥🌅. Locals were jamming, kids roller-skating, lovers vibing – pure Manila. 🕗 8:00 PM – Dinner near Malate Church (Our Lady of Remedies) 💒 – classic Filipino soul in architecture. Ended the night with halo-halo by the street. Cold. Sweet. Epic. ⸻ 🐠 Day 2: Culture, Ocean Creatures & Mega Malls 🕘 9:00 AM – Started with a splash at Manila Ocean Park 🐠 – stingrays, sharks, and even penguins. Kid me was living. 🕛 12:30 PM – Lunch nearby: veggie pancit + fresh buko juice 🥥. Light, refreshing, so Filipino. 🕒 3:00 PM – Explored the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) 🎭 – modern art meets heritage. Caught a local dance rehearsal by chance! 🕕 6:00 PM – Back to the bay for another golden hour, this time with grilled corn and fish balls in hand 🌽🐟. 🕗 8:00 PM – Night stroll past Malate. Smell of street BBQ everywhere. Tip: say yes to banana cue 🍌🔥. ⸻ 🛍️ Day 3: Shop & Soak It In 🕘 10:00 AM – Mall of Asia time! 🛍️ Huge, shiny, and air-conditioned (thank goodness). Coffee, souvenirs, and a giant Ferris wheel ride for the views 🎡. 🕛 12:00 PM – Last lunch: tofu sisig and garlic rice. Simple but chef’s kiss 👌 🕑 2:00 PM – Quick visit to San Agustin again – had to say goodbye properly. Then… Grab to the airport. ⸻ ✨ Tips & Tales 👟 Walk lots – wear comfy shoes. 💡 Be curious – Manila rewards wanderers. 🍴 Try local snacks. Even balut. Once. 😅 ⸻ Verdict? Manila Bay is a mix of soul, salt air, and stories. Already planning round two 🌊🇵🇭💙
