Manila is an underrated city, and a great starting point before exploring the incredible natural beauty of the Philippines. In Manila you’ll find a great dining scene, serving up cuisine from around the world as well as the traditional Filipino cuisine, and a plethora of interesting bars (including a jellyfish bar) to enjoy a beverage with a view of the city. Once you have flown in and explored the city a little, its time to head to one of the Philippines’ thousands of post-card perfect islands which are havens for surfing, diving and simply relaxing on some of the most perfect beaches on the planet.
