Located on the eastern shores of Manila Bay, the capital of Philippines is one of the bustling megacities of Asia. The metropolis is the hub of the country’s economic, political, social, and cultural activities. ‘The Pearl of Orient’ had to be rebuilt after its destruction in World War II. The city has even battled some natural disasters as well. However, now, Manila holds its head high, like its skyscrapers piercing the clouds.
Delegates can explore several attractions before and after events in Manila. These include Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, Pinto Art Museum, Chinese Cemetery, Ayala Museum, National Museum of the Filipino People, Manila American Cemetery, Las Pinas Bamboo Organ, etc.
Manila enjoys sound connectivity with other major cities of the country as well those outside by air, rail, and road. Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the closest major airport, situated at a distance of about 18 kilometers from the city center. Trains, buses, and taxis are other convenient means to move in and around the city.
