If you are planning a trip to the beautiful cities in the Philippines, you might wonder which one is the most beautiful city in this lovely Southeast Asian country. Well, it’s debatable as many of the cities in the Philippines are quite stunning.
We have to vote for Manila because the capital city has so many gorgeous sights, both natural and man-made, and there seems to be a photogenic spot at every turn. So let’s take a tour of Manila and give you a sneak peek into the glorious sights you will see when you visit the Philippines.
Which are The Most Beautiful Cities In The Philippines?
Intramuros Manila
One of the most beautiful city in the Philippines is the charming part of Manila’s Intramuros, once a walled city during the colonial era. Much of the city is well-preserved and you can see the baroque 16th-century San Agustin Church and Fort Santiago, a large citadel and former military jail.
In Intramuros, don’t miss Manila Cathedral, which is an architectural beauty and an important holy place for Filipinos. It is one of the oldest stone churches in the beautiful city in Philippines. Built in 1571, the cathedral has seen many wars and natural disasters and been reconstructed and restored many times. The cathedral has been the place of many joyous occasions, such as a papal visit from Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis. You can see gorgeous stained glass windows, a large organ with 4500 pipes which were built in the Netherlands, and statues made of Roman travertine stones as you roam around the ancient site.
Fort Santiago
Fort Santiago was a fortress built in the late 1500s by the Spanish government during the colonization of the country. It was used as storage for ammunition and as a prison for activists and the political resistance. The fort, which includes a dungeon, has been a national shrine and monument since 1951 and a national cultural treasure since 2014. It is open until 10 pm and visiting at night is quite a thrilling experience.
Chinatown
Nearby Intramuros step into Binondo or Chinatown, which has been bursting with activity since the 1500s. As you arrive, you will walk through the world’s largest Chinatown arch to enter the maze of streets with vibrant shops and restaurants.
It is also a great place to pick up bargains, souvenirs and sample an array of authentic local dishes. Stop off at Binondo Church, also known as the Our Lady Of The Most Holy Rosary Parish. It is one of the oldest churches in the beautiful city in Philippines. As well as more shopping imaginable, there is also a museum, temple, shrine and more churches in Chinatown.

Casa Manila
Casa Manila is a museum showcasing how Filipinos lived during the colonial era. The former home is lovely, but you will have to rely on your memories as photography isn’t permitted. Therefore you won’t find any images online or much info, but it’s worth visiting for sure.
Rizal Park
Rizal Park is one of the largest urban parks in all of Asia, with 58 hectares including walkways, fountains, gardens, and monuments remembering national heroes. Rizal Park was formerly called Luneta Park and the National Planetarium and National Museum are both on the vast grounds. There are many birds in the park and it is a lovely sanctuary in the city to get some exercise or maybe have a picnic.
Baluarte de San Diego
Baluarte de San Diego was a drowning chamber with a dark past during the Spanish era with a round dungeon called Fort Nuestra Señora de Guia. These days it is a gorgeous sight with beautiful gardens, walkways, fountains, and a pergola where many people stop by for photos. You might even see a wedding happening there.
The Manila Ocean Park
The Manila Ocean Park is an oceanarium near Rizal Park. You can see all kinds of sea life, including fish, seals, penguins, and sharks from around Southeast Asia and beautiful city in Philippines. With a focus on education, there are many interactive displays and events, especially during school holidays. There is even an ocean-inspired hotel attached to the park so you can stay as long as you wish.
