Manila itself, on the island of Luzon, is home to more than 12 million people. The bayside city boasts excellent food as well as beautiful architecture.

Travellers will need to grab domestic flights from Manila to get to the other islands, but luckily those are much more affordable than trans-Pacific ones.

Some popular destinations around the Philippines include the beaches on Borocay, the ocean-facing cliffs on Palawan, and the Chocolate Hills on Bohol.
