The capital of the Philippines, Manila, blends the country's colonial past with modernity. As part of the Spanish occupation, the old walled city of Intramuros looks like an old European city, with numerous historical sites and churches that are well worth visiting. The other part of the city is modern, with skyscrapers, urban parks, shopping centers, museums, and more. Manila Bay is also known for its stunning views, and the city is also the perfect place for adventurous foodies.
