DAY 1: Arrival and Intramuros Tour
- Check in to your desired hotel or inns. I prefer choosing hotels near manila, pasay, and makati area.
- Have you brunch first or snacks near your hotel vicinity.
- Take a cab or jeepney going to Intramuros (near central station of you choose LRT1 as your mode of transpo)
- In intramuros, you can hire a calesa to tour you around the walled city, or if you are in a tight budget you can just take a walk. In my case, I just walked because I enjoy walking more when I discover places.
- You should print a map of intramuros before walking around the place. Here are the places that you should visit: (this is in order)
- Palacio Del Sana
- Memorare
- San Agustin Church
- Manila Cathedral
- Palacio del Gubernador

Other structures you can find near the gates of intramuros: Central Post Office & Metropolitan Theatre
- You might be spending your lunch in intramuros so better to find a place to eat in intramuros.
- After spending time in intramuros (time spent should be around 4 to 5 hours depending on activities in Fort Santiago) proceed in going to Manila City Hall vicinity and Luneta Park.
- It is ideally nice to spend an afternoon at the country's premiere park, around 4 to 5 pm.
- From Luneta, you can take a walk along Roxas Blvd with the beautiful sights and sound of the busy city.
