Intramuros is my favorite place to go to when in need for long solitary walks while remaining in the city. One feels as if he/she is transported to Manila's colonial past. The place gets flooded easily though on rainy days.

This is well worth a visit. Very historic and lots of information available as you walk around. But bring some sun shade as it becomes absolutely roasting and there is little shade.

If you want to see how old manila looks like better drop by in Intramuros Manila. Some of the house or buildings are built during the Spanish era. I recommend exploring the area thru a quick walk if you're with a group but If you're all alone better hire a Kalesa (carriage being driven by horse) to explore the area... More

This is an area that deserves a few hours of exploration on your trip to Manila. This area served as many things during many turbulent times on Philippine history.

Only saw two Westerners - maybe not so safe? Guide gave a great run-down on Philippine history (eg Philip from King Philip of Spain & Pines from the native trees).

what an experience to have, to see inside the church (this is my first time as a moslem) and the only minor thing is, you can not take picture. Great architect and tell you story about how western world really has a lot of affect to Philippines people. It has to be maintained so that every Philippines children must understand... More

There frankly was not very much to see other then old walls, ruins, and dilapidated buildings. Hardly the vibrant heart of the city.

I love Intramuros, it takes you back in the old days. It is nice going around to visit the old buildings and museums and learn about our history and culture. Although some of the old buildings are still standing, it is being surrounded by new ones and it is sad that to see this place changing.
