1. When is the best time to visit Manila?

The best time to visit Manila is from November to April, which is also known as the dry season in the Philippines. During this period, the climate is comfortable, with less rainfall and an average temperature of around 25 degrees. This is ideal for outdoor sightseeing.

After May, the temperature in Manila rises gradually, reaching up to 37 degrees. This is the hottest time of the year.

June to October is the rainy season in Manila and the climate is hot and humid. However, the rainy season is characterized by rain showers that do not last long. If you visit Manila during this time, come prepared with rain gear and pay attention to the local weather forecasts.

2. How many days are enough to visit Manila?

Manila is usually the starting point or stopover for trips to the Philippines. Most tourists do not stay here for very long.

Generally, 2 to 3 days are enough to visit the main attractions of Manila. If you have more time to spare, you can also take a day tour to nearby Manila, such as the 1 day Taal Volcano hike tour from Manila and the one-day beach tour from Manila.

3. How to travel around Manila?

Even though there are regular taxis and public buses, the best way to travel around Manila is to book a ride through the Grab app. It is more comfortable and safe to keep you away from committing scams that usually happened while taking local taxis.

You may also see a special vehicle running on the streets of Manila. It is called Jeepneys, which is an iconic part of Philippines culture. Just like its fancy outlook, it could be an unforgettable experience to take a public jeepney. If you don’t care about the chaos and want to experience something different, you can have a try.

There are metros in Manila, but the subway is always crowded and hot. If you are not familiar with the local subway system and are in a hurry, this is not a good way to travel around the city.
