      Best time to go to Manila

      Manila has a tropical climate throughout the year. The best time travel is between November to April as the typhoon season generally happens during June to October when it can be very rainy. The Philippines is predominantly a Catholic country with the main holidays taking place at similar times to Europe, e.g. Easter and Christmas. The Feast of the Black Nazarine (Cristo Negro) is celebrated on January 9th. There are also many hundreds of local festivals held for patron saints on the island.


      Before you get to Manila

      No visa is needed by British passport holders when visiting for 30 days or less. Your passport should be valid for a minimum of six months from the date of entering the country. Before travelling to Manila make sure you have basic vaccinations. There's a risk of cholera, hepatitis A, rabies, tetanus, typhoid and diphtheria. When in Manila, avoid drinking the tap water and perhaps even use bottled water for brushing your teeth.  Make sure you wash and peel any fruit while thoroughly cooking vegetables before eating.  The cost of living in the Philippines is much lower than in the UK. Eating out in restaurants for instance is around half the price compared to the UK.  On arrival, remember to adjust your watch as the time in the Philippines is 8 hours ahead of UTC/GMT and is 7 hours ahead of the UK in summer. There is no daylight saving time.


      Local Manila

      There are bus shuttle services from five in the morning until ten at night from terminal 3 to Baclaran LRT Station (Line 1). Scheduled bus services are also available between terminals one and two and the city centre. You can always take a taxi or jeepney (minibus) into town.  There's basic budget hotel accommodation for as little as around 500 Philippine pesos.  What's more, luxury hotels are much cheaper than in the west. When it comes to public transport there are plenty of buses and jeepneys, or use the Metro. Ticket prices are cheap, around 22 pesos, approximately 30p. If you want travel by taxi, haggle and agree a price before the journey.  The local cuisine is a wonderful mix influenced by Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and American dishes.
