Bambike tours are a great, eco-friendly way to see the old walled city of Intramuros. The guides are friendly and full of information, and you can cool down afterwards with a beer at the Bambike shop.

Población is just about the best place to go for the night if you've only got one night in the City. Bambike does occasional tours here, but you can also just grab a cab, and walk around.

Población is a fun little district bordered by the red light district of Makati. The block is full of little hole-in-the-wall restaurants, bars, and shops. Kermit's pizza is a great place to start your night!

Literally next door to our Mariposa Nest is the ancestral home of the Benitez family. It survived the war, and has now been converted into a museum and library.

This hole-in-the-wall bar is just a couple of blocks away from our Mariposa Nest, and is home to the best jazz musicians in the country. Check the place out anytime after 9pm to catch the musicians jamming before and after their gigs around the city.

Greenhills Shopping Center is the go-to shopping mall in the city. Its unique "baratilyo" stalls sell wares from around the country, most notably the pearl section, where you'll find pearls of all shapes and sizes from our Southern islands. Better to go here on a weekday, as it can get crowded on weekends!

Hands down the best grocery store in Manila. Unimart is one of the oldest grocery stores in the area, though now recently renovated. You'll find things here that you won't find anywhere else. There's also a money changer just outside the grocery store.
