Modern Manila is a teeming metropolis, with huge
towerblocks crowding those few examples of colonial
architecture that survived the bombing of the city during
WWII. Many people use it only as a base for further travel,
but the more persistent will discover its friendliness and
charm.
Like any metropolitan gateway, Manila is
ideal for business-cum-leisure trip and a hub for travelers
who go for "culturetainment" from vibrant markets, city golf
courses, health and wellness facilities, local and
international cuisine, bars and casinos, sprawling shopping
malls and historic buildings to museums celebrating every
aspect of the Philippines' unique cultural mix.
