Join me for a walk to experience what is known to be Manila's historic heart. This walled area in the heart of the City is considered one of the most historic place in Manila. It is a home of different historical landmarks and some religious sites. Intramuros is a Latin word which means "within the wall", is constructed during Spanish Era which main goal is to protect the City from any invaders. The wall had been destructed during the Battle of Manila and later on restored and reconstructed. Because of this unique blend of culture and history, the walled city has been one of the most popular tourist spots in Manila, primarily because of the many things one can learn about the Philippines through going around it, but also because it is an area so starkly different and unique from the rest of the metro.

If you have a day or less in Manila and don’t know what to do- the least you can see is this. The buildings are not that impressive but it still nice- the history is very interesting. I especially liked how lively everything was- these are not ruins that only tourists visit, but a fun and vibrant part of the city where locals live, work and relax.
First time visiting Intramuros with family. We took the museum tour which was a bit long to be in the dark, but very educational on the Spanish impact on Philippine history. We took the calesa (horse drawn carriage) around the old town, stopping by the Manila Cathedral. Amazing to see buildings and walls that are hundreds of years old. Really special place to visit if you are in Manila.
We had an impromptu visit to intramuros to familiarize the kids with the historical places in manila. They enjoyed the kalesa ride and had fun taking pics of the big canons on the intramuros wall :)
Intramuros plays an important part to our country’s history and it is one of the popular destinations for a visitor to our hometown. It is the oldest district and is called the Walled City. Historically, it is the seat of the Spanish government when they colonized the Philippines. You will still see the original wall structure and gates. If you wondered why our local language and other local dialects include words that sound like Spanish, you will understand it after getting a short overview of our history. Visit the Walled City, and find the popular old churches, Manila Cathedral and San Agustin. The other area in Intramuros to visit is Fort Santiago where you will find the old fort and Rizal Shrine, a small museum which features the life and works of Jose Rizal, our national hero. Along the way, you’ll find a lot more smaller attractions like museums, plazas, and old buildings. In fact, walking along the streets of Intramuros, you’ll feel like you are back in time, as you find yourself in the midst of old historical structures which are still in place. Thanks for featuring this great place of Intramuros. More power to your channel.
I've been attentive to history class as a kid. One time in my adult life I had to travel to Manila for career-related reasons and needed to go to a government office stationed in Intramuros. I thought, hey, since I was already there, I might as well explore a bit and see the place frequently mentioned in my history lessons as a kid. I wasn't there that long, but my God, was it beautiful and surreal. And it's just like you said, it feels like travelling back in time. Even the police officers don a traditional uniform and ride horses. Yes, the guards that you see dressed up and stationed there are REAL police officers. Definitely recommend visiting.
My mom and dad were teenagers during the Japanese occupation. There’s a lot of sad history but it should be kept alive so it’s not relived or forgotten. We didn’t book a tour, but once we arrived, there are plenty of motor bikes offering tours. Be careful on creating a time frame because they will continue the tour and then charge more for their service. Carl, our driver, was great until it came to that point. We still paid and gave him a tip but warned him not to do this to future travelers. Overall, Intramuros is worth a tour. Afterwards, nearby, is the Manila Chinatown, also worth a visit.

For anyone visiting Manila, this has to be your first stop. No other place combines the history, the background, the mood of the city as much as Intramuros, once the 'walled city' relegated to the Spanish from the 1500s on through Manila's liberation by American troops who drove their tanks into the gates of Fort Santiago during the second World War. Do not hesitate in hiring one of the guides who will greet you upon arrival; these guides are superb. They know their history and the stories that make Intramuros come alive. We thought we'd spend an hour and spent nearly three.

Dyan ako nag-aral nung college sa Mapua. Dating Mapua Institute of Technology pero ngayon Mapua University na. Malaki na ipinagbago ng lugar na yan at lalong gumanda. Salamat sa pagbahagi ng video na ito.
Visited with our shore excursion group. Fascinating historical area dating to 1571 when the fortified walled area was founded by Miguel López de Legazpi, Spanish conquistador. Our tour included some of the main attractions, San Agustin Church & Museum, Fort Santiago and Casa Manila Museum. There is so much to see within these ancient walls, a couple of days would be justified in order to understand and appreciate these historical fortifications and their role where once was a Muslim kingdom. Thanks for posting this.
Ang ganda naman ng Intramuros, kakaiba sya kumpara sa kadalasan nakikita natin sa Maynila. Dyan din matatagpuan ang Fort Santiago na hitik sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Pwede nyo po bang i-vlog yon? Salamat po.

Once the seat of the colonial spanish rule, the "walled City" or intramuros offers a touch of an historical setting in a modern city. The architectural designs are amazing. One can see a lot of statues of the spanish Kings and queens. The Manila cathedral and the Fort Santiago are attractions in the Intramuros. Travel could be through the Intramuros battery operated vehicles. This is a must-visit site, if you are in Manila city.
Was assingend to do Sales Training with this company. As their office is near San Agustin Church and other places to see. My last time in Intramuros is when we had this field trip in Elemntary.But to see again that im working i think i have to say that i appreciate the view that gives you the old historic vibe. If your a foreigner and have to chance to visit this place. You should definitely. Also the restos here are so good.

it's not bad but you will find better Spanish cultural heritage in lots of other towns or countries. If you have a few hours to kill why not visit a museum or a church. No guide required. It's reasonably clean and safe unlike the rest of Manila Ermita or Malate which is filthy.

What I was trying to point out is the way vlogger approached the two foreigners 19:40 without asking for consent to be recorded. The camera doesn't give you any authority to invade someone's personal space and privacy. I get that it's a public space, but come on now, at least show some courtesy and respect!

Ask people for consent first before you record them. It's so creepy the way you followed those two foreigners!

No need to do that because the place is public.
