If you have travelled to a great deal of places and all over the world 
already then you probably have noticed that each city you visit is in 
some ways distinctly different from all others. You found out how each 
city has its own essential characteristic: the sophistication of New 
York, the glamour of Hollywood, the romantic atmosphere of Milan, the 
artistic flavor of Paris, the old charm of London, the liveliness of 
Tokyo…but if you decide to travel to the Philippines, there’s one 
quality that you’d notice all its cities have – and that’s warmth. 
Below are several great spots to visit when you travel to Philippines. 
I assure you that there’s no need to fear getting lost or being 
treated in an unfriendly manner because the country is quite known as 
a tourist-friendly place. 
Boracay – In recent years, Boracay, found in Aklan, Philippines, 
became very popular as a beach paradise to tourists all over the 
world. White sand, sparkling sea water, luxurious accommodation, great 
food and great company – you’ll find all of those and more when you 
travel to Boracay. 
Intramuros – Fondly known as the Walled City because of its historic 
significance to the Philippines, traveling to the country wouldn’t be 
complete without a tour to Intramuros. There, you can check out the 
museums of the country and get to know a little bit more about the 
history and culture of the Philippines. Enjoy the beautiful wildlife 
that Luneta Park offers. 
Malacañang Palace – I’m sure you’re aware of the legend of Ms. Imelda 
Marcos and her shoes. If you want to see where she lived when she was 
still the First Lady of the country, do try to travel to the deeper 
part of Manila and drop by at Malacañang Palace. 
Ongpin – This is the Chinatown that everyone’s very proud of. If you 
travel to the Philippines and want to see a different side of 
Filipinos, perhaps you should travel to Binondo, Manila, where Ongpin 
is located and get to know the Filipino-Chinese communities. During 
holidays and festivities, you’d see that the streets of Ongpin would 
be decorated in authentic Chinese decors and everyone would be wearing 
red to honor the occasion they’re celebrating. 
Banawe Rice Terraces – Located in the northern part of the 
Philippines, travel to Banawe to see for yourself what’s described as 
the eighth wonder of the world. Wherever great spot you may find 
yourself in the Philippines, you’re sure to be welcomed by the natives 
with friendly smiles and warm hospitality.
