Top tips for Riyadh to Manila
Explore historic Intramuros
Both Riyadh and Manila have modernised around old cities, which you can still explore today. Riyadh has Al Dir’iya and Manila has Intramuros, its Spanish-influenced walled city.
Its cobbled streets and stone buildings are strikingly well preserved. Alternatively, take a short ride in a horse-drawn carriage, called a calesa, and enjoy sitting back while you tour this bustling city.
See Fort Santiago
Similar to Masmak Fortress in Riyadh, Fort Santiago was historically built to guard Asian colonies and remains today as a striking landmark.
Dating back to the 16th century, its thick stone walls surround pretty green gardens and fountains. You’ll find this in the walled city of Intramuros.
