Flights to Manila
Manila is the capital city of the Philippines, and is located on the eastern shores of Manila Bay, just west of the National Capital Region. Manila is one of the major hubs of a thriving metropolitan area, with over 14 million people calling it home-- the second most populous metropolitan area in Southeast Asia. The second-most populous city in the Philippines, the city's population is more than 1.6 million as of 2007. Almost all of Manila is sitting upon centuries of prehistoric alluvial deposits built up by the waters of the Pasig River. During the Spanish Era, a walled city was built in present-day Manila called Intramuros-- literally meaning "walled city". The original city of Manila was inside the walls of Intramuros, which was originally built to keep protection from native uprisings and Chinese pirates. This Intramuros is one of the oldest walled cities in the Far East, and parts are still visible today. Well into the 13th Century AD, the city consisted of a fortified settlement and trading quarter at the bay of the Pasig River. The country was ruled by the Spanish for over three centuries, and has definite Spanish influences on culture, architecture and language.

For a look at a more modern Manila, visit the popular Bohemian districts of Malate and Ermita, which showcase a variety of clubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, art and antique shops. Manila is known as a place of bright and wild nightlife, offering everything from cultural shows, to discos, to casinos, entertainment lounges and fashionable cafes. In the centre of the city lies the aforementioned Intramuros, where visitors can see centuries-old forts, dungeons, colonial houses, Spanish-style churches and horse-drawn carriages. Part of the Intramuros is Fort Santiago, built for Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. The location of the fort was once the site of the palace and kingdom of Rajah Sulayman, a pre-Hispanic Muslim chieftain. The original structure was made from logs and earth, and was mostly destroyed in wars between Chinese pirates and the Spanish. For over 300 years, Fort Santiago became the main fort for travelers and the spice trade to the Americas and Europe. Bits of educational landmarks are found all throughout the city, with historical buildings and landmarks, parks, museums, shopping centers and even sports facilities in close proximity to one another.
