I really enjoy seeing aquariums like this. There are quite a lot of shows, including penguins, sea lions, reptiles, and jellyfish. There’s also a special aquarium for sharks. However, I recommend not going on weekends because you’ll have to compete with other visitors for photo spots.
nice and amazing performance im happy na nadala ko ang family ko sa manila ocean park na enjoy din naman nila pumasyal dahil sa ganda ng mga view.

The National Museum of Fine Arts is a must-visit! I love how it preserves so much history while still feeling fresh and inspiring every time. Walking through the grand halls surrounded by masterpieces like Spoliarium always gives me chills. It’s a beautiful, nostalgic spot that reminds me of school trips, but now I appreciate it even more. A timeless gem in the heart of Manila!
This is free for everyone to see. At the entrance, Spoliarium will great you! This is an amazing piece of art. Huge! Inside, you will see all the amazing art pieces by Filipino artist. The atmosphere is good, and temperature is just okay.

Surrounded by multiple national museums covering a wide area and close to Intramuros - two must-visit places in a Manila itinerary.
Rizal Park, or Luneta, is a chill spot in Manila where you can relax and soak in some history. It’s got green spaces, cool monuments like the Rizal Monument, and plenty of room for walks or picnics. Perfect for a break from the city hustle, whether you’re with family or just want to hang out.

Oh my god. That sunset. The most amazing view of my life was in Manila Bay. It was a great evening to spend the night with my Philippine friends there.
The view of Manila city can be seen from here. It’s best to visit at dusk when it’s windy and the weather is not too hot. There are many cafés, restaurants, and food vendors as well.
