Manila is more than just the capital of the Philippines. It is rather the heart and soul of the country. Being widely known as the melting pot of culture and heritage, thanks to Spain and America, this diverse city has a place for everyone.

For a dash of history along with the food, don’t forget to try Canton Noodles at New Toho Food Center, the Philippines’ oldest restaurant.
