Suggested Budget

Use the chart below to get an idea of how much to budget daily.  Actual amounts will depend on YOUR travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages … some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less. Prices are in USD.

Travel Costs

Accommodation.

A bed in a  hostel  dorm costs from 350 PHP ($7 USD), but smaller dorms can cost from 500 PHP ($10 USD).  For a private double, prices start around 700 PHP ($14 USD).

Most  budget hotels  begin at 700 PHP ($14 USD) per night for a double room and usually include free wifi and breakfast.  For  a three-star hotel , prices begin around 1,400 PHP ($28 USD) per night.    AirBnB  is also widespread throughout the country, with private rooms starting from as little as 500 PHP ($10 USD) per night.  For entire apartments, expect to pay at least 1,400 PHP ($28 USD) per night.

Resorts and luxury accommodations  vary greatly from 1,400 PHP ($28 USD) to 5,000+ PHP ($100+ USD).  However, there are some really nice resorts and luxury accommodations which are surprisingly affordable.

We use and recommend booking online to save money using  HostelWorld ,  Agoda ,  Booking.com , and  AirBnB . 

Local food is extremely cheap, with street food costing under 50 PHP ($1USD).  For an inexpensive meal at a local restaurant, prices start around 100 PHP ($2 USD).  For a meal at a mid-range restaurant with drinks and table service, expect to pay from 200 PHP ($4 USD).  Knowing that their target customers are primarily tourists, Western food venues can be pricey compared to Filipino food.  Also, some of the ingredients need to be imported, which contributes to the higher cost. Western food (burgers, pizza, pasta, etc.) is much more expensive but is still relatively affordable at around 200 PHP ($4 USD) for a meal and drink.

Fast food like McDonalds will cost around 200 PHP ($4 USD).  A beer at the bar will cost around 50-100 PHP ($1–2 USD).

A week’s worth of groceries will cost between 300-600 PHP ($6-12 USD) per person.  However, food in this country is so inexpensive, and kitchens & refrigerators are hard to come by, I don’t recommend cooking your meals here since there is plenty of delicious street food to eat at very cheap prices. You won’t make it as good as they do and the food is too delicious to miss!

Transportation

There are many modes of transportation available in the Philippines and each varies greatly. 

Public Transportation is cheap.  Bus services on the islands are inexpensive.  Local buses (called jeepneys ) are the most common type of transportation in towns and cities. The fare is usually between 7-25 PHP ($.20–.50 USD).

On islands without a bus system, a taxi or tricycle is the only form of transport with fares starting at 50-500 PHP ($1-$10) USD for short trips. 

Taxis are everywhere, and they’re very cheap.  Most fares shouldn’t cost you more than 500 PHP ($10 USD) around town.  

To get between islands, you’ll need to take a boat or to fly.  There are ferries that connect the island together since they aren’t too far apart but, generally speaking, flights are the most realistic option. 

Flights between islands usually cost about 2,000-3500 PHP ($40-70 USD).  However, this isn’t the cheapest way to travel.  It’s only recommended if you have limited time. 

We recommend booking online to save money using:  Skysca n ner ,  momondo ,  Kayak ,  kiwi.com .

Attractions & Activities

Most attractions and activities in the Philippines are pretty cheap. Most attractions throughout the area are FREE to enter, though some of the more well known and popular ones cost 5-100 PHP ($.10-$2 USD) to enter. 

Depending on the activity, most day tours only cost around 1,000-1,500 PHP ($20-30 USD), oftentimes less.  You have more bargaining power if you go with a group. If you are expecting to do some climbing, remember to pack some warm layers. It gets cold at the top!  

Other activities such as Island Hopping, scuba diving, helmet diving, swimming with whale sharks, jungle trekking, canyoning, ATVs, jet skis, wakeboarding, cruises, parasailing, horseback riding, cultural experiences, and tours can cost as much as 1,250-5,000+ PHP ($25-100+ USD).

The Philippines is one of the least expensive places to learn how to scuba dive. Learning to scuba dive usually costs about 15,000-20,000 PHP ($300-400 USD), but often includes FREE accommodation for the duration of the course, which lasts three or four days.

Always book your tours and activities when you arrive.  Stick to travel agents who are selling on the ground. If a travel agent won’t negotiate with you, move on to the next until you find one that will.  Booking tours online is almost always more expensive.

Tips & Hacks

he following are our Top 10 Tips when visiting this destination in the Philippines:

• Be aware that a tourist VISA is only 30 days. You can extend it upon arrival, or within the first 30 days, for an additional 30 days for a fee of approximately 3,000 pesos.
• Don’t buy into the fear factor. The Philippines has an unjustified reputation of being a dangerous place. It’s true there are security guards everywhere, but that is to deter theft.
• Manila is NOT the Philippines. Get outside of the cities to see the real Philippines.
• Don’t over plan. Boats, buses, and even airplane schedules are notoriously unreliable. Be flexible.
• Check the weather. The weather varies greatly throughout the Philippines daily.
• Typhoons can have a huge impact on your plans. Account for this when planning your trip.
• It’s not cool to raise your voice or show outward frustration in public.
• Be polite at all times. Realize that your country’s sense of humor may be different from Filipino humor and take this into account when interacting with Filipinos and while in public places.
• Things move at a slower pace. Accept it … don’t get frustrated … but do account for it.
• Don’t drink the tap water… but stay hydrated! Save money by buying large bottles (6-10 liters) of water and using it to fill your water bottle or hydration bladder in your backpack.

Money Matters

The Philippines has its own currency called the Philippine Peso. Banks, ATMs, and money-changers can be found on the island. If you are exploring the neighboring islands or provinces, make sure to bring enough cash that will last until the next time you get to an ATM or bank since most tours, transportation, and budget accommodations only accept cash.

Health & Safety

While overall the Philippines is a safe country to visit, as is Quezon City, you need to use common sense just as you would in any country, especially when traveling, and in a city, town, or area you are unfamiliar with.

Consult your hotel or resort front desk as they are more likely to give you reliable information than a random stranger on the street. Be careful when approaching strangers and selective about who you approach. Always pay attention to your gut feeling and follow it.

Staying Connected

You need to have a local-based SIM card in order to stay connected when in the Philippines.

You can buy a card containing a code you can enter on your phone to replenish your load or buy an electronic load that is available almost anywhere in the city.

While you may not have problems with signal strength when in the city, it is not always the case when on islands or in remote areas of a province.  So when arranging for transportation pick up, say when renting a boat to take you to and pick you up from the island, it would be best that you make it clear what time you need to be picked up before the boatman leaves.

Things to Remember

This guide recommends to take note of the following while traveling Quezon City or in the Philippines in general.

There is a nationwide ban which prohibits smoking in public places including indoors, the streets, on sidewalks, in restaurants , and on public transportation, requiring smokers to use designated smoking areas.  Selling tobacco to and purchasing from or for minors is also prohibited. Violators are subject to fines (up to 5,000 PHP | $100 USD) and even 4 months in prison.

The minimum legal drinking age is 18.  Alcohol such as beer and hard drinks can easily be bought in grocery and convenience stores.  The most common alcoholic beverage is beer, generally served cold.  Local alcoholic drinks include tuba (coconut wine which is usually very strong) and potent moonshine-like clear liquors made from sugar or fruit.  Imported beer, wine, and name brand hard alcohol are available but expensive.

Drugs are illegal in the Philippines.  Don’t use, buy, or sell any non-prescription drugs while in the Philippines … not even marijuana.  It is considered an especially heinous crime to buy from, for, or sell drugs to children.  The penalties are severe … up to and including death.

Public nudity is illegal in the Philippines and is not tolerated.  Most locals consider it offensive.  There are laws which prohibit provocative and erotic clothing and swimwear, therefore carefully consider your clothings and swimwear choices to make certain they are not too revealing.

Foreigners & Expats

If you are not a Filipino citizen, remember that you are a guest when visiting this country … be certain to act accordingly.  Respect the people, their customs, and the environment and wlidlife.

• Explore Quezon City by checking out Manila tours and activities to add to your travel itinerary

It has the largest land area and population among the municipalities in the metro. The size of the city alone assures you that you will never run out of places to go and things to try when you’re in Quezon City.

Manila intramuros historical express 90-minute tour in eco-friendly bamboo bike + optional upgrades, manila binondo shared walking food tour with guide, manila intramuros shared half-day walking tour with guide.

Here are some suggestions to get you started when planning your Quezon City itinerary.

The towering structure in the center of Quezon City Circle shrouds the museum dedicated to the president from whom the city is named after. 

Museo ni Manuel L. Quezon features artifacts commemorating the Commonwealth President’s life—from his humble beginnings in Baler to his time as president during the Japanese occupation.

There is also a section devoted to his wife Doña Aurora, and the tour ends with a visit to the president’s coffin. 

The Museo was built in 1979 but underwent modernization in 2015 to include interactive elements. 

Originally located in Gilmore Street, New Manila, the Quezon City government worked to reconstruct the original Quezon family house in 2013. 

Today, about 60% of the original structure and interiors, along with the furniture and memorabilia, stands in the Quezon City Memorial Circle, open for everyone to visit.

The bright yellow, two-story house of neoclassical revival design is also where the Philippine Red Cross was founded, with help from Doña Aurora. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.

Quezon City Experience or QCX opened in 2015. This interactive socio-cultural museum highlights the city’s rich history, from its beginnings as a hill where President Quezon’s vision of a great, green, and growing future came to life.

Its 16 interactive galleries allow visitors to learn about and experience moments in the city’s history. It’s also a great opportunity to take selfies on a cool and informative backdrop.

Inside the museum are commercial establishments, a 100-seat theater, a 60-seat lecture room, conference rooms, and a rooftop garden for events and exhibits. 

This 22.7-hectare land in the middle of Quezon City is a sanctuary for animals, plants, and people alike. 

Its vast area is the ideal place to do your morning jog, and the trees make the perfect shade for when you’re beat and need to refresh. Meanwhile, the botanical gardens boast an impressive range of indigenous and plant species.

Apart from these, the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center serves as a repository and rehabilitation center for sick, injured, confiscated, donated, and abandoned animals. 

The simulated natural habitat allows them to recover to full health. Look out for the more exotic species like Philippine deer, water monitor lizards, and Palawan bearded pigs.

See things from a different perspective at Art In Island, the largest 3D art museum in Asia. Here, you get to not only admire over 100 pieces of massive art but also be a part of it. 

All images are in 3D, and if visitors want to take a photo with it, they are encouraged to stand on a marked position to make it look like they are part of the art.

Trick the camera into thinking that you’re running from dinosaurs, meeting a celebrity, or visiting a historical location. You can use props to make it more fun! Shoes aren’t allowed inside, so go barefoot or wear socks if you want.

While you’re at it, you can go and explore a different side of the Quezon City art scene by checking the shops and restaurants at the nearby Cubao Expo.

Another sanctuary you can escape to when city life gets a tad too daunting is the La Mesa Ecopark. Explore on foot or with a bike and feel one with nature thanks to its thriving greenery and flora and fauna. 

You can also enjoy the wildlife with different species of butterflies, birds, lizards, and fishes on its koi pond and Butterfly Haven.

The La Mesa Ecopark is a protected watershed that is said to hold the last rainforest in Metro Manila. 

The manmade lake is the primary water source for nearby residents and is surrounded by a 2,000-hectare forest and nature trails.

Other activities like bungee, zip lining, archery, fishing, trampolines, and rock climbing are often available. It even has a public swimming pool for those who want to cool down. 

Lastly, don’t forget to climb to the top of the stairs of La Mesa Dam and get a panoramic view of the nature reserve.

The Santo Domingo Church is not just the largest church in Metro Manila or one of the biggest in Asia but is also one of the most beautiful. 

The National Museum and the National Commission on Culture and the Arts declared the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of La Naval de Manila as a National Cultural Treasure in October 2012.

Renowned post-war era architect Jose Zaragoza designed the church. It houses the oldest Marian image in the country.

It is one of the locations that paved the way for the food street scene in Quezon City. What started as a hangout spot for university students now has everything for everyone.

A word of advice: parking is tough, so it’s best to take a jeepney and tricycle when going around and exploring Maginhawa. In addition, bring cash, as most establishments don’t accept cards.

Students enjoy sitting on parks chit chatting with their friends or preparing for their next class, with just the towering Narra trees to shade them from the sun. The Oval, meanwhile, is a favorite among joggers during weekends.

UP is also one of the best spots to find cheap meals, since most of the eateries here cater to students. 

Despite being transferred more than five times around the campus, Mang Larry’s Isawan (isaw is grilled pig or chicken intestines) still captures the heart of the BBQ-loving scholars.

Located inside the University of the Philippines-Diliman campus, the Jorge B. Vargas Museum and Filipiniana Research Center houses a vast collection of artworks and artifacts, including memorabilia donated by Jorge B. Vargas, the country’s first executive secretary.

What’s unique about this museum is that it is the only repository in the country that embraces Filipino creativity and the critical shifts from different periods between the 1880s to the 1960s.

Admire the creations of late 19th century artists like Lorenzo Guerrero, Simon Flores, Juan Luna, and Felix Resurrecion Hidalgo, to the 1950s work of Victorio Edades, Juan Aralleno, and Vicente Manansala. 

It’s a great stop for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of Philippine art.

Because of the countless devotees who attest to the healing power of St. Pio, other people followed suit. It’s widely visited by both locals and tourists from all over the country and the rest of the world.

The St. Pio Chapel have been reconstructed and renovated several times over the years.

Today, its architecture resembles the Our Lady of Grace Church in Italy, the church where St. Pio of Pietrelicina Capuchin used to hold mass.

Officially named as the Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace or the EDSA Shrine was built to commemorate the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution .

The EDSA Shrine also goes by other names like Our Lady of EDSA, Queen of Peace, and the Archdiocesan Shrine of Mary.

The shrine is easily identifiable by the bronze image of Our Lady of Queen of Peace, as sculpted by the late Virginia Ty-Navarro.

The sprawling Eastwood City consists of a residential area of condominiums, the Cyberpark, which houses offices, and the Eastwood Mall.

Here you can choose to spend on high-end stores or go practical by buying on the many flea markets outside the mall.

The dining and amusement choices are seemingly endless, and you can always look forward to exciting events especially on weekends and during holidays like the New Year.

Named after the first mayor of Quezon City, Tomas Morato Avenue is more popularly known today for the many celebrities and socialites who hang out here every night. 

Teeming with bars, restaurants, and other commercial spaces, Tomas Morato is a street that never sleeps, catering to the needs of workers who run the media companies located near it 24-7.

Like Maginhawa, establishments along Morato come and go, so it’s best to go back now and then so you can experience something new.

Some of the current favorites include Gogi Gogi, Stoned Steaks, Limbaga 77, and La Spezia, while old-timers like Romulo Café still get some love from followers.

Learn the techniques of the old masters while sipping your favorite drink at Sip and Gogh. 

This unique experience provides workshops to interested attendees who want to explore their creative side, all while enjoying a glass of wine or any beverage of choice and some snacks with friends or family.

To start, choose your preferred branch and check their upcoming workshop and schedule. If you fancy anything, reserve a slot, and of course, be there on your selected date and time.

Each session lasts for two hours. Fees depend on your preferred workshop. Prices are inclusive of materials and drinks.

For locals, it’s common knowledge that devotees of Sta. Clara often brings eggs (sometimes along with other food) with their written prayers to offer to the Patron Saint St. Clare of Assisi.

While you may not see any grandiose altars or magnificent art pieces in this monastery, you’ll certainly find the serene surroundings quite relaxing.

This juxtaposes the organized chaos outside the church, where various vendors can be found selling trays of chicken eggs wrapped in colored plastic.

Each color symbolizes a specific intention: if you’re praying for blessings related to travel and work, offer the red one; but if you’re praying for wealth, then get the green.

Enjoy the Best of Both Worlds in Quezon City

Much like other urban areas, retail establishments are aplenty, but as proven by the locations in this list, Quezon City isn’t just for the city dwellers. 

Its efforts to maintain the remaining lungs of the metro is worth applauding—and it won’t hurt visiting them, too.

Quezon City is proof that you don’t have to go far to experience biodiversity or be one with nature—sometimes, all it takes is a bus ride. 

Let this be your guide on planning your next adventure to Quezon City, but don’t be afraid to go outside the itinerary. You might be lucky enough to find the next big thing in this great metropolis.
