A self guided audio tour of Manila.
Manila’s pulse beats across the Pasig River, connecting centuries of commerce. From the 1571 Spanish walls of Intramuros to the modern skyscrapers of Makati, this city has always been a global crossroads. It pioneered the Pacific trade routes, linking Asia and the Spanish Americas via the galleon trade. Walk through the layers of its history, where the grit of the street meets the weight of empire. This is a metropolis built on the unstoppable current of trade.
In the app, 100 stops in Manila are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 97 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
