Manila

Manila is the capital of the Philippines and a major cruise port, with ships docking at the Manila South Harbor adjacent to the historic Intramuros walled city. Intramuros, Fort Santiago, and the nearby Rizal Park offer a compact history lesson in Spanish colonial heritage and Philippine independence. The city's chaotic energy and excellent Filipino cuisine are central to the experience.

Walled Spanish colonial city of Intramuros sits at the heart of the Philippine capital.
