OVERVIEW

Delve deeply into Manila's past by visiting historical landmarks and traveling at times by Jeepney, a flamboyantly colored bus-like vehicle that has become a cultural icon. Your introduction to Old Manila will begin in the 16th-century Intramuros district, where you will spend free time shopping and tour Fort Santiago, which also served as a notorious prison. Browsing the adobe stone San Agustin church and its adjacent museum will shed even more light on the past. It is the oldest church in the Philippines and its architecture has hardly changed since 1607. The barrel vault in the central nave and the trompe l'oeil paintings throughout are truly remarkable. After pausing for photos at Rizal Park - which is dedicated to national hero Dr. Jose Rizal - you will stop by the Manila Hotel, a luxurious Philippine landmark that opened in 1912. General Douglas MacArthur used the hotel as his command post during much of World War II.
