Manila is a living city full of contradictions. The capital of the Philippines has a fascinating and rich history having been governed by and influenced by many countries, most notably Spain and the USA. Still carrying the scars of the horrors of the Battle of Manila during World War II, the city has been effectively rebuilt over the course of the past 70 years.
There are plenty of incredibly lavish and awe-inspiring buildings such as the beautiful San Agustin Church which was left unscathed after the war. You can find buildings such as these sitting alongside shanty towns and street markets, giving the city a unique and diversified atmosphere.
As well as an incredible history, Manila has a modern streak with a great nightlife that will show you a completely different side to the city. From youthful pool parties to members only luxury clubs, Manila has a night out for everyone.
With a tropical climate, Manila can get very hot with highs of the mid to high 30s and lows of mid to low 20s. The rainy season lasts from June to October, while the dry season usually begins in December and lasts until May.
