Book cheap flights to Manila with Globehunters and find yourself in one of the most eclectic cities in Asia.

Manila is the capital of the Philippines, with loads to see and do in its constantly expanding cityscape.

It was heavily bombed during the Second World War, so there’s no longer a recognisable ‘city centre’.

Instead, there are lots of small districts, each with their own flavour and things to discover.

One of the most popular sights for visitors is the ruins of Intramuros, the oldest district, which is a great example of Spanish-style architecture and one of the few examples of historic Manila.

Other landmarks worth seeing include the Bonifacio Shrine, which honours all Filipinos involved in freedom fighting and the Coconut Palace which was erected in honour of the visit of Pope john Paul II and was also the residence of the Vice President of the Philippines.

There’s also lots of lovely bayside restaurants and bars to enjoy and mingle with the friendly locals.

So be sure to compare cheap flights to Manila here at Globehunters if you want to experience this exciting city for yourself.

We are proud to offer first class flights and business class flights to Manila as well as economy.
