Try Boracay.
Manila
It depends on what you want to do.. beaches? diving??
Boracay , Camiguin , Malapascua , Moal-boal , APO island , Palawan, Bohol (chocolate hills) etc.. hhehehe i cant mention all / it depends if you will be in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao. Philippines has a lot to offer when it comes to nature , food , night life.. fun.. etc =)
not very safe at the moment.
Not Manila...think outside the envelope.
ask philip he knows
The airport is top for many
Boracay, Tagaytay, etc. but don't go down south to mindanao, not very safe there.
Everywhere else is as safe as a non-war zone
Knowing where to start is the problem, because there is so much to see..
Some suggestions:
Visit Chinatown
Visit Ermita!
Visit Luneta Park
Visit Corregidor Island (WW2)
Visit Manila Cathedral
See General McArthur's wartime (WW2) cars (autos) and his HQ at the MANILA HOTEL.
Shop at Harrison Plaza
Shop at Robinson's Place, Ermita
A MUST---- Shop at SM CITY.
If you can, visit the VILLA ESCUDERO and see a working coconut plantation.
Pagsanjan Falls is a popular day-trip about 100 km SE of Manila
well worth seeing and if you are brave enough, go white water rafting or at least sail UNDER the falls!
Have a great time.
Manila, Tagaytay, Banaue, Bagiuo, Palawan, Boracay, Bohol, Cebu. Travelling to Philippines is very safe.
Borocay and cebu are definately recommended stunning beaches.Good website to visit is philippines tourism site will give all regions and write up.Have a philippine friend and recommends both these places
Don't listen to Alan, he just cut and pasted something from the web.
Actually use the link below. It is a helpful guide to the country from the Philippine tourist board. Its called Wow Philippines and is the Philippines tourist motto. It has pictures and a guide with the top places to visit. Keep to the Northern Part of the country and you should be fine.
the philippines has more than 7,000 islands where you could find off the beaten path getaways.
but wherever you choose to go, your travel will probably start and end in manila. it is the gateway to the islands because the main airport in the country is located here.
while in manila, why not check the city? it's exciting ancient and modern city that has a lot to offer. for starters, check http://www.manila-travel.com
Go to Batangas/ Matabungkay Beach resort
Try the country side.
Cebu, Bohol, Palawan, Boracay, Iloilo, Camiguin, Suquijor, Caraga region (if you're into archeology), Davao.
choose here <www.wowphilippines.com>
You'll find many lovely places to visit in the Philippines!
But, I want you to visit my hometown first! Ha Ha Ha
Check out: www.davaoguide.com
Tropical Palawan ofcause!!! And the opposite of that - the rice terraces in Banaue, northern Luzon (make sure to bring a raincoat and sweater!).
It depedns on what you want to do. If beaches & sea, the possibilities are unlimited. You need to decide how you want to travel and if you want a lot of people around or if you prefer more remote locations.
if you've got a bit of cash, have a look at the following websites:-
www.clubparadisepalawan.com
www.elrioymar.com
both these resorts are remote and 4 star, with a lot of uninhabited islands around, and also the Calauit Safari park, which is the only place in the country where you can do a truck safari to see a few types of African animals brought over from kenya in the 70's -giraffe, zebra, antelope etc. Busuanga island itself has 127 islands around it and the sea and air is totally un-polluted except for the main town of Coron, which is a gateway for many beautiful sights. It's only 60 usd for the flight from Manila to here.
A very good place to visit is Bohol. There are the Chocolate Hills and the Tarsian Monkeys and a few other interesting things.they actually give like a tour of the island for like $20 dollars if you take a cheap 'taxi'. If you are looking for nice beaches, this is probably not the best place, even though I hear they have some. But if you are looking for something truly different and extraordinary, then you have to go to Bohol at least once and just experience the landscape and culture of that island. Truly amazing.
there's nothing like starting out with manila. most people underestimate this place and would suggest skipping it because of reasons that certainly won't entice the potential visitor to come. amidst the not-so-nice things that you'd probably see, there's actually lots of history lurking in every nook and cranny or manila especially in the old parts. it's a diamond in the rough, waiting for someone to make it shine again. ok now i'm getting carried away. :-D anyway, the sites below are of walking tours around manila which are really educational as well as entertaining. i've joined some of them too.
go to this site. www.wowphilippines.com.ph its the website of the Dept. of Tourism.. then you can decide on what to do.. go to the beaches, go diving, visit some towns in the north like vigan (UNESCO site), historic Intramuros, Manila or other cities..
It depends what your likes and dislikes are.
White water rafting - Pangasanan North Luzon.
Baguio city - The city of eternal spring, it gets cold there in December though.
Taal lake and the palace in the sky, beautiful.
Boracay - phenomenal white beaches, everything for the tourist.
Cebu - The old Spanish Fort San Pedro, Magellan's cross, the holy child, and much more besides. Dive resorts, beach resorts the lot. The Magellan memorial on Mactan island.
Bohol and it's chocolate hills, beaches, river trip tarsier monkey.
I live in Cebu - The world's greatest place. Motto sleep all day; party all night. I'm a bit old for that now though.
There's a LOT. I could recommend the hot springs in laguna and the views in tagaytay overlooking taal volcano.
