Legazpi Market is held every Sunday along Legazpi and Rufino streets in Legazpi Village. It’s a delightful gathering of stalls that offer everything you could hope to find in a marketplace. They sell handicrafts like wooden houseware, handmade accessories, as well as straw bags and slippers. You’ll also find fresh fruits and vegetables, local and international cuisine, potted plants, and lots of organic produce and healthy foods. Legazpi Market sees a lot of foreign shoppers, perhaps because of its farmers’ market concept. Vegan dining options can be challenging to find in the Philippines, but this market has a wide range of organic vegetables and homemade fruit juices. They also have a wet goods section where you can buy fresh seafood, as well as stalls offering clothes, preserves, paintings, home décor, and more. Foodies will enjoy the diverse prepared cuisine on offer. You can partake of grilled seafood and meat, popular local delicacies and Filipino street food such as skewered pig and chicken innards. Legazpi Market also has a good representation of international fare that includes Thai, Malaysian, Indian, Mexican, Japanese, and Moroccan dishes. We also spotted some stalls serving halal food. Overall, the atmosphere is vibrant and relaxed. Don't forget to bring eco bags and dress comfortably as it can be humid, especially during summer. Location: At Herrera st. cor Legazpi and Salcedo, V.A. Rufino St, Legazpi Village, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines Open: Sundays from 7.30am to 2pm

Salcedo Saturday Market has quite a reputation in the city. Loved by locals and tourists alike, the place is definitely worth a visit at least once in your lifetime.

Bring your own indoor slippers

We Filipinos have a custom of taking off outdoor shoes when inside the home to avoid dirt and diseases from invading our home. We encourage guests to bring their own indoor slippers for sanitary purpose.

Umbrella

The Philippines is considered a tropical country because it's near the equator and it experiences wet and dry seasons only. Even if the sky is perfectly blue and clear in the morning, one can almost expect gray skies and showers in the afternoon or evening, so you should never gamble on the day staying nice and deciding to leave your umbrella at home. Also the sun can be unrelenting when you live in a tropical country. So bring your umbrella Rain or Shine.
