The Philippines is a destination that is easy to observe multiple times due to its more than 7,000 islands. The toughest decision you make as a visitor is figuring out which island to visit first. The Philippines is divided into the three primary island groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, representing different regions in the country.
Here are the Best Places to Visit in the Philippines:
Manila
Most of the visitors skip exploring Manila at length, preferring to jet in and out to the rest of the Philippines without delay. They’re missing out on a lot: the conglomeration of Metro Manila has more partying, culture, history and entertainment than all the other points combined. This is a must-see attraction if you are in the Philippines.
Cebu
Cebu is the “Queen City of the South” vies with Manila for recognition as the Philippines’ Number 1 City. But in terms of ease of transport, access to the great outdoors, and more fun per square mile, Cebu has the capital beat. Just an excellent place to spend your time.
Mountain Magic
The mountainous terrain of the Philippines’ Cordilleras kept the Spanish colonizers away, allowing the Ifugao of these parts to keep their identical culture existent. Today buses timely ply the treacherously curvy roads leading into Banaue. You can now take a nine-hour bus ride from Manila into the mountains, going where conquistadores feared to footfall.
Siargao
Siargao taken a more family-friendly turn as of late helped along by a hit movie and breathless word-of-mouth. While this 170-square-mile island refuges “the next Boracay” title, the new resorts and tours around the island capitalize on other attractive features such as the Magpupungko tidal pool and the white-sand beaches on outlying islands.
Palawan
This is the world’s best island, and it’s made up the “arm” of the Philippines, a 260-mile sliver running southwest to northeast along with the archipelago’s western side. Wherever you land on that “arm”, you’ll discover Paradise, though expressed in several ways.
