Makati: Ayala & Greenbelt
Midday-friendly cluster: garden walks in the morning, then malls and museums with air conditioning; the safest area for a late arrival.

- Philippines ↗Complete the free eTravel registration on the official government site within 72 hours before arrival; ignore lookalike sites that charge.
- Philippines ↗Typhoon season runs roughly June to November: flights and boats are cancelled at short notice; buy flexible tickets and keep a spare day.
- Philippines ↗Carry pesos in small notes; many stalls, jeepneys and taxis are cash-only.
- Metro Manila ↗Rush hours are 07:00–10:00 and 16:30–20:30 on weekdays; a 10 km ride can take 90 minutes. Book flights and transfers outside them.
- Manila ↗Intramuros is cobbled and uneven, and Ermita pavements are broken: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Manila ↗In heavy rain streets flood within an hour: do not walk or drive through floodwater; wait indoors.
