Meycauayan
Spend one day in Meycauayan to see the historic church, old railway station and a market; add a night if you want to relax at a resort.
Meycauayan is an industrial city north of Metro Manila with a few heritage sites and a bustling market. Its compact centre can be explored in a half‑day, but traffic and flood risk mean a full day is safer. Overnight stays are useful only for a relaxed resort break.
