Other recommendations for half day tours are (Arrangements to be made on your own, for example through your hotel) either to visit the National Museum and thereafter have lunch in the old classic Manila Hotel or to visit the Pinto Art Museum.


The National Museum
of the Philippines

The National Museum Philippines

This Government institution is located in the heart of Manila and serves as an educational, scientific and cultural institution in preserving the various permanent national collections featuring the ethnographic, anthropological, archaeological and visual artistry of the Philippines. Since 1998, the National Museum has been the regulatory and enforcement agency of the National Government in the restoring and safeguarding of important cultural properties, sites and reservations throughout the Philippines.

A trip to the private Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo, Rizal, unveils a hidden gem which opened to the public in 2010. Sprawled over a large hilly area with a stunning collection of contemporary Philippine Art in various buildings, it even offers an equally stunning panoramic view of Manila to boot in good weather (requires good mobility due to many steps).

A day trip to Tagaytay, ca. 65 km South of Manila, is a MUST, as it overlooks Taal Volcano, a complex volcano located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is the second most active volcano in the Philippines with 33 historical eruptions. All of these eruptions are concentrated on Volcano Island, an island near the middle of Taal Lake.

Since the formation of this large caldera (Taal Lake), subsequent eruptions created another volcanic island, within Taal Lake, known as Volcano Island.
