If you have travelled to a great deal of places and all over the world already then you probably have noticed that each city you visit is in some ways distinctly different from all others. You found out how each city has its own essential characteristic: the sophistication of New York, the glamour of Hollywood, the romantic atmosphere of Milan, the artistic flavor of Paris, the old charm of London, the liveliness of Tokyo…but if you decide to travel to the Philippines, there's one quality that you'd notice all its cities have – and that's warmth.
Below are several great spots to visit when you travel to Philippines. I assure you that there's no need to fear getting lost or being treated in an unfriendly manner because the country is quite known as a tourist-friendly place.
Boracay – In recent years, Boracay, found in Aklan, Philippines, became very popular as a beach paradise to tourists all over the world. White sand, sparkling sea water, luxurious accommodation, great food and great company – you'll find all of those and more when you travel to Boracay.
Intramuros – Fondly known as the Walled City because of its historic significance to the Philippines, traveling to the country wouldn't be complete without a tour to Intramuros. There, you can check out the museums of the country and get to know a little bit more about the history and culture of the Philippines. Enjoy the beautiful wildlife that Luneta Park offers.
Malacañang Palace – I'm sure you're aware of the legend of Ms. Imelda Marcos and her shoes. If you want to see where she lived when she was still the First Lady of the country, do try to travel to the deeper part of Manila and drop by at Malacañang Palace.
Ongpin – This is the Chinatown that everyone's very proud of. If you travel to the Philippines and want to see a different side of Filipinos, perhaps you should travel to Binondo, Manila, where Ongpin is located and get to know the Filipino-Chinese communities. During holidays and festivities, you'd see that the streets of Ongpin would be decorated in authentic Chinese decors and everyone would be wearing red to honor the occasion they're celebrating.
Banawe Rice Terraces – Located in the northern part of the Philippines, travel to Banawe to see for yourself what's described as the eighth wonder of the world. Wherever great spot you may find yourself in the Philippines, you're sure to be welcomed by the natives with friendly smiles and warm hospitality.
