Overview

Important Notes Before Travelling

  • • The best time to visit Manila is during the dry season from November to April, when the weather is warm and sunny, and there is less chance of rain and typhoons.

  • • The best way to get around Manila is by using Uber or Grab, which are convenient, safe, and affordable. You can also try riding a jeepney, which is a colorful and iconic mode of public transport in the Philippines.

  • • The currency used in Manila is the Philippine peso (PHP), which is roughly equivalent to 0.02 USD or 0.01 GBP. You can exchange money at banks or money changers, or withdraw cash from ATMs. Credit cards are widely accepted in malls and restaurants.

  • • The official languages in Manila are Filipino and English, so communication should not be a problem. However, learning a few basic Filipino phrases can help you interact with locals and show respect for their culture.
