    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • 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.
