One Day in Manila Itinerary – Top things to do in Metro Manila, The Philippines
Manila may be both chaotic and congested, but it’s never dull. New shopping malls rise next to the slum areas, the poverty and the luxury coexist just next to each other. Manila may not be famous for its beauty, but its magnetic energy gives you a special feel. Diverse and lively in so many ways, it’s a great city to explore even if you only have one day to do it.
![day tour manila One day in Manila Itinerary](https://i0.wp.com/onedayitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/One-day-in-Manila-Itinerary.jpg?resize=723%2C542)
What’s the best time to visit Manila?
TIP: If you are looking for a reliable transportation while traveling in the Philippines, consider booking your tickets with Bookaway. There you’ll find fair prices and best options.
The best time to visit Manila would be in December and January. Both months offer nice and dry weather and the lowest average temperature. Dry season continues until April, while the wet season starts in May and lasts until November. If possible, skip July and August because there is too much rain at that time and May because of the unbearable heat.
A few facts about Metro Manila
Metro Manila is the capital region of the Philippines composed of 16 cities and home to 12 million citizens. One of the cities inside the region is Manila, the capital city of the country, while the most populous city is Quezon City. In pre-Hispanic time, the province known as Manila encompassed kingdoms of Tondo and Maynila. At the time of the Spanish occupation, the city inside the walls ( Intramuros ) became the capital of the country. Today, Metro Manila region is the cultural, economical and governmental center of the Philippines.
One day in Manila itinerary
Follow this guide and make the most of your trip even if you’re short on time. These are the top sights and things to do during your one day in Manila.
Start your day at Intramuros
Intramuros or ‘within the wall’ represents the oldest district of Metro Manila, built during the Spanish occupation. It’s the best place to start your day and to soak in the rich history of the Philippines. There’s even a great hotel here, The Bayleaf Intramuros , which you can book to start sightseeing first thing in the morning.
A part of the boundary walls is still well preserved, even though a huge part was destroyed in WWII, during the Japanese-American battle for Manila. Still, lots of historical buildings, museums and even two churches can be found inside the area. For those who want to know more about this place and the Filipino history in general, it’s recommended to book an Intramuros walking tour.

Not far from the Fort stands the Cathedral of Manila , a Roman Catholic basilica, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was heavily damaged several times, but it has now been restored to its full glory. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll have a chance to see a Filipino wedding ceremony on weekends.
![day tour manila The Manila Cathedral](https://i0.wp.com/onedayitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/The-Manila-Cathedral.jpg?resize=723%2C482)
The San Agustin Church , the other church inside Intramuros, was constructed during the Spanish colonial period as one of four churches. This Baroque church was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and named a National Historical Landmark.
![day tour manila San Agustin Monstery, Manila](https://i0.wp.com/onedayitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/San-Agustin-Monstery-Manila.jpg?resize=723%2C482)
Check out the National Museum
To continue your Filipino culture and history lesson, head to the National Museum . It houses the nation’s heritage and greatest artwork. The exhibits are divided between two separate buildings, one with the historical artifacts and one with the artwork. The best part of it is that the museum is admission free, so it’s really open for everyone to enjoy it.
Have a break at Rizal Park
You’re probably a bit tired by now. Adjacent to Intramuros, Rizal Park is the best place to relax a bit and escape Manila’s heavy traffic. It’s a favorite outdoor spot for both tourists and locals. On weekends, it’s usually packed with people. There are numerous statues in the park, so make sure to capture a few photos while there.
![day tour manila Rizal Park, Manila](https://i0.wp.com/onedayitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Rizal-Park-Manila.jpg?resize=723%2C482)
Take a jeepney ride
Taxis in Manila are very affordable and pretty convenient, but not as exciting as jeepneys . This cheapest public transportation in the Philippines costs less than a quarter of a dollar, which is nothing compared to the fun it offers you. All of that, if you manage to fit inside. You should stop a jeepney at a random place, since there are no actual stops.
![day tour manila Jeepney, Manila](https://i0.wp.com/onedayitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Jeepney-Manila.jpg?resize=723%2C482)
Visit the Chinatown and try the best dumplings in the Philippines
Binondo may be the oldest Chinatown outside the territory of China, but it’s actually not that different from any other. Still, it’s worth a visit for several reasons. The place Lan Zhou La Mien serves the best dumpling in all the Philippines. You need to try them even if it means waiting in line for 15 minutes. Not just is the food super delicious, but it’s also super cheap.
It’s shopping time!
One more reason to visit Binondo is the shopping. This is the area where several markets and malls are located, but the most famous ones are Divisoria Market and 168 Shopping Mall , located just next to each other. Clothes, accessories, souvenirs and many other items can be purchased there at very cheap prices. Just don’t forget to bargain.
Watch the sunset from the rooftop of Bayleaf Hotel
After a long day of walking, it’s time for some drinks and relaxation. Sky Deck View Bar at the top of the Bayleaf Hotel offers both hot drinks and cocktails, but it’s also the best place in the city to enjoy Manila’s magical sunset. Watch the amazing colors of the skyline as the sun covers all of the Manila Bay in an orange glow.
Have a dinner at Makati
Makati is the financial center of the Philippines, another city and the central business district of Metro Manila. It’s where all the exclusive bars, hotels and restaurants are located, and it looks nothing like other cities within Metro Manila.
You can find a variety of nice restaurants at the Greenbelt, Ayala Center that surroundings the beautiful Greenbelt Park. Nice atmosphere, many different cuisines to choose from and amazing food are pretty good reasons to visit this place. But the visit doesn’t have to be short. Booking a room at Raffles Makati will see you spend the night in this modern district.
![day tour manila Ayala Center, Makati](https://i0.wp.com/onedayitinerary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Ayala-Center-Makati.jpg?resize=723%2C482)
Enjoy Makati’s nightlife
Makati may be a bit pricey compared to other Manila’s districts, but it’s without a doubt the best place for a night out. For those who love the red light district atmosphere, head to the P Burgos Street . If clubbing is your thing, Royal Club may be a great place for you. Those who love deep house and techno should definitely visit Time club.
Where to stay in Manila?

15 Best Day Trips from Manila
Tourism is a really important industry for the heart and soul of the Philippines. Manila has several notable tourist attractions, including national parks, cultural heritage landmarks, and museums. This city is also the main shopping hub in Asia, thanks to the numerous shopping centers located around the metropolis.
Manila’s Tourist Belt is made up of the Ermita and Malate districts. These offer a wide range of curio, antiques, and souvenirs, as well as cozy music lounges and cafes. If you’re planning on visiting Manila, here is a list of the best day trips that you can make from the city.
1. Malacanang Palace
![day tour manila Malacañang Palace](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Malaca%C3%B1ang-Palace-1024x576.jpg)
This 175 year-old palace is the president’s official residence. Over the years, the palace has been remodeled, expanded, demolished and rebuilt. It’s strategically situated in San Miguel.
The first known owner of the property was a Spaniard – DonLuis Rocha. The property was enclosed by a stone fence and comprised of a relatively large summer house built of stone, a bathhouse, and gardens. Luis later sold the property to Colonel Jose of the Spanish Army in 1802. In 1825, the property was purchased by the state.
Pay a visit to learn how the Palace was seized several times during the protests that started with the People Power Revolution. At the Palace, you will also learn about the coup attempt of 1989.
