Culturally rich, each village has its own artistic specialty – music, dance, painting, and sculpture.

But one of the best known, and not to be missed sites is Intramuros—the remnants of the walled settlement founded by the Spanish in 1571. Spanish colonial-style buildings house an eclectic mix of ruins, churches, and some of Manila’s most interesting museums like the Bonsai Library and Museum, the Light and Sound Museum, and the Rizal Shrine Museum just to name a few. The best way to travel between these sites is to take a ride in the unofficial symbol of the city, the Jeepney.
