Experience a ride aboard a kalesa -- a horse-drawn carriage typically used in the Philippines. The Spaniards introduced this mode of transportation, and it was initially reserved for only nobility and high-ranking officials. Today, it's your turn!
Visit Baluerte de San Diego -- part of the Spanish colonial fortification in the walled city of Manila and its only battery facing the sea.
Pass through the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, situated on reclaimed land along Roxas Boulevard. Watch for the Philippine International Convention Center, the Folk Arts Theater, and the Coconut Palace -- made, as the name suggests -- mostly of coconut materials.
Makati, Manila's financial and commercial center, is a modern metropolis that is becoming increasingly important as a major artery in the Pacific's financial flow.
Visit Rizal Park, where the country's National Hero, Dr Jose Rizal, lies entombed within the Rizal Monument.
