OVERVIEW

Pedal through the cobblestone streets of historical Intramuros – Manila’s oldest district – on a bamboo bicycle, a fun and adventurous way to see a host of revealing landmarks. Some of the attractions within the walled district are of great architectural importance such as the Plaza San Luis complex that contains houses from different eras and cultures. The Manila Cathedral, which dates to the 16th century, is noteworthy for it reconstructions, the most recent being after World War II. The Japanese ruled Manila during most of that war and you will see a cannon left there as a reminder of the occupation. A look at the Puerto Real Gardens offers a change of pace as this urban oasis couldn’t be more serene. Centuries ago, the land there was part of the Fort Santiago complex. The ultimate view of Manila awaits you atop the Sky Deck of the Bayleaf Hotel as you can see Intramuros and beyond in every direction.
