This is the first-day Manila experience for someone who wants to understand the historic center instead of simply checking off landmarks. Begin at Rizal Park and the National Museum of Fine Arts, then cross into Intramuros for San Agustin Church, Casa Manila, Manila Cathedral and Fort Santiago. The route gradually moves from the national story of Luneta into the surviving streets and walls of old Manila.
