Destination Profile
Cheap flights to Manila from USA whisk you right across the Pacific Ocean to the capital of the Philippines. Some include stopovers – commonly in Japan or Taipei – while other airlines do the trip direct. Either way, you'll be dropped in a buzzing, bustling megalopolis, where the age-stained district of Intramuros pits Spanish churches against the steel skyscrapers of the modern age. Most people will see that and then head for the fabled islands that await nearby. They include rock-carved Palawan, where the coral reefs bloom with brain sponges and sea kraits, Boracay, home to cotton-colored sands, and Siargao, a chilled-out surf mecca that's speckled with tide pools and jungle.
Rizal Park is packed with monuments to Philippine independence, and is now a gathering place in the midst of the city.
Bougainvillea blooms on small squares, haunting statues adorn the fountains, and age-stained churches await – welcome to Intramuros, the historic colonial heart of Manila.
Fort Santiago was first raised by the Spanish in the 1590s. Today, it's a major historical relic, and boasts the collections of the Rizal Shrine museum.
United and Philippine Airlines fly direct to Manila from the United States of America.
Qatar Airways is the best airline to fly from the United States of America to Manila. United is the best if you want non-stop flights.
