Manila as a travel destination

### Manila, the capital of the Philippines


As one of the largest cities in Southeastern Asia, Manila plays an important economic role. The city is also the cultural center of the Philippines. The entire country is largely dependent on its capital.

The city has around 1.8 million citizens as of 2016. Because of the rapid urbanization and development, Manila is experiencing an economic boom. The town center resembles the American cities; with skyscrapers spreading far and wide. All this makes it very attractive to foreigners.

Manila is also the home to many festivals. Examples are Feast of the Black Nazarene, the Chinese New Year, the Smbalilo Festival, Aliwan Fiesta, the Manila Music Festival, the Kalesa Festival and many, many more.

### Why tourists love Manila?

The Philippines are a very popular tourist destination. Thanks to the warm tropical climate, the travel industry is active all-year-round. The central islands like Bohol, Cebu, and Panay receive a lot of international attention. But there is just one thing to note here. Tourists will often have to pass through the International Airport in Manila, if they want to visit those travel destinations.

Whether they come for a full vacation or just passing by for a day, travelers can experience the beauty and charisma of Manila. Even if you are going to stay for a little while, there are a few attractions every visitor must see.

One other famous attraction is [the National Museum of the Philippines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_the_Philippines). It was built more than a century ago and hosts many different exhibits. The museum acts as the country’s educational, cultural, and scientific institution.
