Famous Cities of the World: Manila

Manila is a city for going out; there is bound to be clubbing, karaoke, and art events going on somewhere at any hour. Kick back with a cocktail at the posh bars in Makati or The Fort; take in the bohemian vibe of Malate; and find some alternative entertainment at Cubao Exchange. Manila is a city where people live for the moment. The potential heritage sites in Intramuros, the old bombed city of Manila, have been transformed into speakeasies, government buildings and public schools. Manila is the premier gateway to any destination in the country. It serves its own menu of attractions and activities.

Manila is primarily into house and techno in clubs. There are no places which play other strains of electronic music .No Drum 'n' Bass nights to speak of, no breaks, no gabba or reggaeton. Manila is the perfect place to go for daring culinary adventures. Look out for balut, taho, fishballs and dirty ice cream
