2 weeks agoLate review, we visited last November. Entrance fee is 75 per head. You can have a discount if you are a student and you have your ID. Very educational. You can learn a lot. A historical place that takes us back to the past. As a Filipino and a student it's a must to visit this place. 5 stars.

a month agoIt was a lovely day to take a stroll in a park and get away from the city a bit. There was a local dance performance on the day I visited, and it was fun. Even though it's a historical ruin, I can see that it's well maintained. Other than that, there's museums, cafes, and a chamber.

a week ago750ph odd to enter and plenty to look at and explore even if your not getting a guide.. to be honest a guides not needed. There are plenty of information boards and plaques to get you the details you need if you want to do your own thing. Good section on Jose Rizal to help you understand his importance to the country. Worth the trip to the area

a month agoVery beautiful ruins if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise, there's not much to see. The café shops have a wide variety of Souvenirs to choose from but not the food they write on the menu. Overall, great weather and good views. They also have discounts for local students.

a week agoThis is just across ( a few steps) from the Manila Cathedral. The entrance fee is 75 pesos for regular guests and 50 pesos for kids and discounted guests (like students, kids & seniors). It is a fun adventure and additional information about Philippine history. Visit now, learn, and explore.
