A destination for Canadian tourists
There’s no shortage of reasons to add the Philippines to your travel list, and Manila is the perfect starting point! As the country’s cultural capital, it’s home to an abundance of museums, parks, art galleries, and eclectic restaurants.
Visitors can explore the city’s historical charm through unique landmarks like Manila Cathedral and the Ayala Triangle Gardens. Food lovers will find plenty to savour with everything from street food staples like adobo and kwek-kwek to elevated fine dining. Check out fun restaurants like Le Petit Chef, which mixes dining with immersive theatre, or step into the past at Blackbird Makati, where you can eat in the historic Nielson Tower.
Need some tropical reasons to visit? A stunning beach in Batangas is just a two-hour drive away from the city, and the exotic beauty of Cebu, Boracay, and Palawan are less than 90 minutes away via domestic flights.
But no matter where you go, you can expect a warm welcome — Filipinos are well-known around the world for their friendliness and hospitality. Canadians are sure to feel right at home the moment they arrive.
