Metro Manila mixes Spanish-era Intramuros — Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church (UNESCO) and Casa Manila — with the free National Museum trio around Rizal Park, Binondo's food streets, Manila Ocean Park, and modern Makati and BGC with the Mind Museum and Salcedo Saturday Market. Tagaytay's Taal views are a day trip south.

Good to knowThe National Museum buildings are free; Casa Manila and the Mind Museum close on Mondays. Traffic is heavy, so group sights by district — Intramuros with Rizal Park and Binondo, Makati with BGC. Check PHIVOLCS before visiting Taal viewpoints.
