How do you get from Manila airport to the city centre?
Manila's airport has four terminals. International airlines use Terminals 1 and 3. A few bus services operate from the airport to the centre of Manila. UBE Express operates from both international terminals every 30min. Regular bus services also operate from Terminals 1 and 3 on a 24-hour basis. A cheaper, less comfortable alternative is jeepneys, which are always available, however lack of space for luggage is something to consider. Taxi companies provide a more convenient mode of transport. The official yellow airport taxis charge a flag-down rate and an extra charge for every 250 m. White city taxis drop passengers at the airport departure level. If you’re lucky, you can hail one at departures, as they are more affordable. Special coupon taxis have fixed rates depending on the destination. They are expensive but useful for large groups due to their minivans and SUVs. Uber and other ridesharing services also operate from the airport.
What are some things to do in Manila?
After getting your Manila flight deals, you'll want to see all you can in the city. Explore Intramuros, the oldest part of Manila. Ancient walls encircle this area filled with churches, courtyards and old colonial buildings. Search for statues of past royalty on Plaza de Roma and restored buildings and architecture, such as the Ayuntamiento building. Take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage or hire a motored tricycle for a different perspective. Manila Bay's waterside promenade is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The two-kilometre palm-lined Baywalk passes the scene of the Battle of Manila Bay between the United States Navy and Spain in 1898. Walk down to the Manila Yacht Club and enjoy a meal at one of the cafes and restaurants. The Pasay Seafood Market close to the Mall of Asia is worth seeing. Market stalls groan under the weight of fresh seafood such as lobster, crab, mussels, and more. An interesting tradition allows you to buy the seafood of your choice and present it to the local restaurants where they will cook it for you.
Do I need a passport or visa to fly to Manila?
Although you need a passport to travel from South Africa to the Philippines, a tourist visa is not needed for citizens of South Africa staying up to 30 days. If you plan on a longer stay, apply for a tourist visa with an extended duration of stay. Make sure that a transit visa is not needed for any of your connecting flights. Always check with the airlines.
