Manila joins ‘best cities in the world’ list
The Philippine capital city of Manila landed a spot on the 53 best cities in the world list by global magazine Time Out.
According to the Time Out Index 2022, the city earned 34th place due to its rich art, culture, unique customs, and cuisine that were influenced by the Chinese, Spanish and American periods.
The magazine also listed the “must-see and visit” places in the city which included the walled city of Intramuros, the San Agustin church — which also doubles as a museum —, Fort Santiago, Manila Ocean Park, Manila Baywalk, and the dolomite beach.
Time Out also mentioned the city’s strong vaccination drive which helped it stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further, the listing described Manila as the least rude city in this year’s index as respondents admired the “welcoming and infectious smiles of its people.” Meanwhile, 60% said that the city was resilient, while 78% raved about its nightlife and party scene.
With the economy slowly opening up in most countries, Time Out encouraged tourists to experience a glimpse of the burgeoning city while they are visiting the Philippines.
