Attractions: Many attractions in the Philippines share the dichotomy of their
allure and their difficulty to reach. The capital city Manila is an
easy place to start. There are marvellous buildings and cathedrals
such as the Intramuros and San Agustin Church standing as testament
to the history of Spanish colonialism. The Nations Museum and the
Malacanang Palace are great attractions to learn about this
history. From Cebu, island attractions and beaches such as Visayas are a
chartered flight or ferry away but the city itself has things to do
including visiting an important religious site Basilica Minore de
Santo Nino or Fort San Pedro. Davao is also a great starting point
to visit nearby island attractions such as Camiguin Island and the
pristine Lake Sebu. These are best visited between May and July,
although any time of year will do, as the attractions never become
too busy.
