#4 - Intramuros and Luneta

Intramuros is an old walled city in Manila. It has managed to keep its cobblestone paths and Spanish-style houses intact. You can even hire a horse-drawn carriage to take you around for an old-world experience.

Fort Santiago, located within Intramuros, was originally built as a proper fortress. Bullet holes and bomb damage from the war are still visible on the walls of the fort.

This is also where José Rizal, a 19th-century national hero, was imprisoned before his execution. Follow Rizal's footsteps from Fort Santiago to where he was executed in Luneta for a feel of the the country's tumultuous colonial history.
